On Friday 26th July 2024 Nick Birch, our Director of Finance attended Bruce Springsteen for a night of music and unforgettable memories.  

Read on to find out more about his memorable experience….. 

 

The Perfect View 

Like any big concert there was a lot of anticipation! Though designed more for football matches than concerts, Wembley still provided a fantastic setting for the night. The seats were comfy with a great view and the demographic of the audience was as expected, with a mix of long-time fans and newer admirers, all united by their love for The Boss. 

 

Unforgettable Moments 

As the lights dimmed and Bruce Springsteen took his place, the crowd erupted in cheers. One of the standout moments for me was when Springsteen played his classic hits. Bruce’s stage presence was nothing short of spectacular. He performed for three hours straight without a break and his interaction with the audience was genuine and heartfelt; he frequently went down to the front row to shake hands and connect with fans. A particularly touching moment was at the end of the show when he shook hands with every membe

r of his band as they left the stage, a gesture of appreciation I’d never witnessed before. 

  

The Setlist and Audience Reaction 

The setlist was extensive, featuring over 30 songs. It kicked off with a few newer tracks, and while I wasn’t immediately familiar with them, the energy and enthusiasm of the performance were infectious. It took four or five songs before I recognised one, but when the old favourites began to play, the response from the crowd was overwhelmingly positive. A quick glance at Facebook after the concert confirmed that many attendees shared my sentiments.

 

The Venue Experience 

Wembley Stadium is an iconic venue, and while it might be better suited to football, it still provided a memorable concert experience. 

 

A Lasting Impact 

This concert was a phenomenal experience, rekindling my love for songs I’ve known for years. Two days later, I still find myself humming the tunes, a testament to the lasting impression the performance made on me. 

 

In conclusion, Bruce Springsteen at Wembley was more than just a concert; it was a celebration of music and memories. It’s a night I won’t soon forget and one that has left me eagerly anticipating my next live music experience.
