Well, it's 1 week until I fly to London for the gig and I haven't received my tickets or a reply to my concerned e-mails. The Ebay seller has a heap of negative feedback recently pertaining to "no tickets, no communication, avoid" and they have £367 of mine

Of course when I bought them all their feedback was positive. If they don't arrive I suppose I may be able to pursue my money back but my flights are non refundable and I can't afford to try to get a ticket from a tout outside the gig.

Not so Magic.

Darkness on the edge of town is truly moving. Badlands, Racing in the Street etc etc. I worked with a couple of guys that were 'big' Bruce fans. I started on about DOTEOT and they were like 'what?'. They had no idea at all...oh well!
While I'm at it, I used to get pissed off about folk thought that Losing my religion was by a new band called REM. Never mind, I suppose we've all done it.

I'll be shuffling some money about from my savings account I think. Seems I'll be able to claim the money, or some of it, back through Paypal.

Cunts though.

Good luck with that, can you tell us about the process and how you get on? I've heard some real horror stories about ebay and paypal before.

Have raised a dispute so will let you know. Here's hoping.

Nevertheless, I managed to get a ticket in London (a further £175!) and was about 30 yards from the stage, just behind the pit. Yesterday went a something like this:

Traipsing round London aimlessly on my own. 3 hours
Pissing about at the O2 Arena trying to get a ticket. 3 hours.
Finally getting a guy selling a ticket's number off the internet and going to meet him at London Bridge. 30 minutes.
Queueing in the freezing cold. 2 hours 15 minutes.
Standing waiting for the band to start. 1 hour 15 minutes.


Then this for 2 and a half beautiful hours:

Radio Nowhere
No Surrender
Night
Lonesome Day
Gypsy Biker
Magic
Reason to Believe (exceptional full band version)
Because the Night (Nils Lofgren becomes my new guitar hero)
She's the One
Livin' in the Future
The Promised Land
Waitin' on a Sunny Day
Working on the Highway
Racing in the Street
Devil's Arcade
The Rising
Last to Die
Long Walk Home
Badlands (I feel closer to God than ever before, a truly uplifting experience)
* * *
Girls in Their Summer Clothes
Jungleland (my eyes get a little moist)
Born to Run (I can't believe I'm actually here)
Dancing in the Dark
American Land
Santa Claus is Comin' to Town (it was always going to happen I suppose!)
