Think it’s on there for awhile but I’ve scheduled it for after tea.
There’s an Eel Market near you
We’d just sat down to watch episode 3 of Ozark, but now we’re watching Bruce, so thanks!
I hope it’s not for one day only. No chance I have the time to watch today. And I would really like to.
It looks as if it is there for a while. Not sure where I heard the one day thing but it doesn’t look like it. Goodie!
Goodie! Tea, gingerbread and two plus hours of Bruce sounds like a nice way to make a Monday in December much more enjoyable.
It will be on for months and months (if not years), having seen the real thing, am not in a huge rush to see it again. Nothing could really compare to being in that tiny theatre (with the worst legroom ever).
We feel your pain ( you lucky lucky smug bastard)
Well it cost me $400. Jan (or Feb) is a great time to visit New York City, weather can be really nice (especially compared to Ottawa) and hotels are (relatively) dirt cheap.
Dai, if you dont mind me asking…We got a free flight to New York City in January or February and are looking for relatively cheap accommodation ( in either Brooklyn or Manhattan ). Any recommendations ?
I stayed at the Crowne Plaza HY36 Midtown last weekend in Jan, was $119 a night (plus taxes and fees came to around $150) booked through priceline.com. Think you may need a North American credit card for them, otherwise try hotwire or trivago to compare prices. Was a very nice hotel close to Penn station.
Thanks a lot I’ll give it a shot…..
Jumpleading the question, does anyone have experience of airb’n’b in Manhattan and/or Brooklyn? I know the Mayor has tightened up on it, but is it still viable? September.
Jersey City also an option but make sure you are very close to a PATH station (many hotels are).
Not content with hosting Question Time and Antiques Roadshow!
I believe the next series of the latter will be entitled the Antiques THUNDER ROADshow.
We watched it last night and it is fascinating, although fairly familiar if you’ve read his book. He certainly has a brilliant gift for language when speaking as well as in his songwriting. My wife wasn’t keen on the effing and jeffing though….
And ain’t that hair a work of art? I started thinking rug, but, as the close ups from the R revealed, a lot of very judicious combing from the side. I suspect a little black cherry blossom here and there at ground level too, but hey, fair play.
Thought the same thing, but the bugger is only six months older than me and looks pretty good for someone who’s 70 next year.
Just watched it – he’s had work hasn’t he? Face seems to have lost some of its character.
That aside- what a remarkable performance ! I sat with a whisky by myself and it was rivetting.
My turn to watch alone with a couple of whiskies and a beer(FPO at Xmas night out).
I really enjoyed this. Sometimes a wee bit political, sometimes very deep, and sometimes very funny. I thought it was just going to be a solo acoustic concert, and was quite surprised to find it was almost him doing an audiobook version of his biography. Great night in!
I wonder how much Takamine are paying him to change guitar every song.
I hope Netflix carry on with this type of thing. I saw the Loudon Wainwright III show(Surviving Twin) on Netflix last week. Great stuff if you’re a fan, though I wish he wouldn’t do so much of his father’s work in his show and just stick to his own.
Hopefully Neil Young, Tom Waits, Steve Earle and Paul Simon have seen how successful Bruce’s show has been, and do life story shows of their own.
I’m saving it for when Son and Heir is with me and Sharon…may be busy.
I shall have a couple of high quality beers and then explain why since the first time I heard Born to Run Bruce Springsteen has been an important plank of my music collection.
I’ve said this before, but after I came to America and spent some time in the less-than-prosperous areas in the Mid Atlantic region and beyond, I realized what he was writing was true. You can argue the production value of Born in America; you can’t argue that he’s drawing pictures of real lives.
The man is wonderful. A couple of bumpy albums, but I don’t begrudge any of them.
Three bumpy albums in a career that started in 1973 is still pretty good going. Though he’s never taken the risks some of his peers have. He’s never tried a Self Portrait or Trans. And for better or worse he’s probably spent more time making any given album than Neil has on all of his combined…
