[pjborntorun66]

Yes what a amazing man the best show i was ever at wish i got to the pit ///////

[BreenBoy]

This was the second night, right? It was some amazing concert!

[Tipsie79]

I love this guy !!!

[holitipu]

this is what i love about bruce's concerts. you don't pay extra and there is no VIP section, you just show your love and loyalty by queuing, has worked in london, cardiff and dublin for me and my daughter. watch out once you get this close it's addictive !!

[IluvtheBOSS]

Can I just ask you how long you were queuing for?

How old is your daughter?I hear they always take those with kids out of the queue and let them in th pit?

Was at the concert Saturday.We were delayed, didnt get in to Rds til six so we hadnt a hope.We were in the area behind the pit.Good enough view although he only came to our side of the stage once.

Still great though.Even if we were soaked.

[holitipu]

we were there sat. too! flew in from london, joined queue at 10.00am and we were 1 back from the front . my daughter is 17 though. i personally wouldn't take anyone under 10, and i have never seen anyone given priority from the queue because of kids.cardiff was best we were on the edge of the middle stage extension , he was right above us and that was something else, a night to remember. sound brilliant and the vibe great,well worth it. you can't explain to people who don't get it.!

[IluvtheBOSS]

Thats really awesome.You are so lucky!Its also great that you and your daughter both like him and share the experience together.Thats really cool.Hes a gorgeous guy,I probably would have fainted that close so maybe its best I was away from him!

It was my first time seeing him and had a great time despite being soaked!!We didnt get into the pit but the area behind. couldnt travel up til saturday but we did well considering.

I thought they took kids from the queue?Much safer that way.

[IluvtheBOSS]

There was this really cool child in the pit on the saturday.She was on her dads shoulder singing and waving her hands.She looked like she was having a ball.She was only about five id say.I guess if they really like Bruce then why not but she was very young.I dunno would I do it.

I'm pleased that folks have taken videos and posted on here- I was there in Dublin both nights, but was too far back on the pitch to see all that was happening - so it's great to see what I missed.

[brucebobbyjean]

I was just in front of you guys second row. My husbands hand shows a lot in your vids - number 240 taking photos. What an unbelievable night

[ails1807]

was there too...totally brilliant

[Snyltegjesten]

Hehe. This is when he picked up my Caution-sign and held my hand. Very funny moment when he actually read it on stage.

[b0rn2run2002]

what did the sign say?

[Snyltegjesten]

CAUTION

Slippery when wet!

We don't wan't you to break your ass tonight

[angail22]

You lucky sod being soooo close to such a fit dude... wasn't he just AMAZING! I was sitting in the stand and looking down in awe at the craic in the pit...I'll know better next time!!! How much were tickets for the pit?

[mrklenrd]

no extra cost just get there early, i got pit on both nights :-) I love him!

[melafreund]

see, that's why I only have filmed some small snippets of the show - just because I wanted to see the rest of it. the real close-ups with bruce standing in front of us were pure chaos: me standing there, the camera in the right hand, my left hand at his left leg (yes, I touched him!), and my eyes on bruce. really hard work...

- to be continued-

[melafreund]

but to be honest, in real life, I'm a tv camerawoman, and I just can't be completely without taping - you just can't get it out of me, though my camera is a really cheap one with no features, just the rec button.

but I have to say, I am SO greatful that there are people taping the whole show and sharing their stuff with us! to have vids of a bruce show you've been a part of is one of the greatest things on earth - you can share that memory with your grandchildren - talking 'bout GLORY DAYS...

[sugarbabe11662]

I was close to say about 4 people back I didn't get to touch him but got a bit of footage on my camera the show was amazing what time did you arive to get that close to him

[melafreund]

we arrived at noon. this wouldn't have worked, but we had luck in the pit, too, because 2 people in front of us left their spots and never came back!

[IluvtheBOSS]

Noon?wow thats a long day.Was that early enough?There were people queuing for days before hand for the Saturday concert.

We only went up on the day,we are from Cork so had work and were delayed so we hadnt a hope.Must be alot of fun being in the pit?Great memory to have for sure.
