<\/a><\/p>\nStockholms Stadion, the arena where Bruce have played most often, 1988, 1993 and 1999. <\/strong><\/p>\n While Morgan’s two cats Borka and Lucifer tried to snuggle up in our camerabags, Morgan told us about how he managed to be among the lucky 1 500 who got a ticket to the show at Cirkus in 1996. After several hours in line outside the venue he got a ticket for the normal price and on a pair of very cold feet he could walk inside to see Bruce, past rows of scalpers. He also shared some of his memories from standing in line for other shows.<\/p>\n As many other fans have said, it’s the interaction between Bruce, the band and the audience, that attracts Morgan too. But he also told us that the music brings about a lot of memories. Especially about his friend that introduced him to Springsteen’s music. This friend died some years ago from an overdosis, but Morgan still remember all the fun they had together when he listen to the music.<\/p>\n As many other fans Morgan is very interested in standing close to the stage to see what happens between Bruce and the band during a concert. He thinks that the dvd-releases of Live in New York City and Live in Barcelona adds a new dimension to the recorded live preformances. Not only does the fans get the opportunity to hear Springsteen, but they also get to see his power as a live performer. Morgan really hope that there will be more dvds from future concerts.<\/p>\n Things went pretty well apart from me having the most hideous cold. I spent a good deal of time snivelling through the interview, but hopefully that won’t show… And armed with handkerchiefs, nosespray and Fisherman’s friend the second interview went better.<\/p>\n Today we have also talked to Tobbe. He saw his first concert in the Globe arena, June 15th 1992.<\/p>\n Tobbe wouldn’t have become such a big fan if it hadn’t been for a girl in his class who lent him a tape with Springsteenmusic. He listened to Born in the USA over and over again just to hear the drums in the end of the song.<\/p>\n Looking back on the shows he has seen, Tobbe thinks that Springsteen really got back in style with The Rising album. We also talked about the benefits of fanforums on the internet. “The forums makes it easier for people to stay in touch. Before they existed you only saw other fans when you lined up for tickets or for concerts and it could be years before you saw eachother again. With the internet it’s easier to keep discussions going.”<\/p>\n We finished by recording when Tobbe played som chords from a couple of Springsteen songs.<\/p>\n Tomorrow is another day and another interview!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So we’re in for another round of interviews. Today we have met Morgan who saw his first show at Stadion, Stockholm, July 2nd 1988, and he still thinks that the second night back in ’88 is the best show he … Continue reading
\n“The nineties was almost a lost decade, with the exception of the Tom Joad-tour. It was fun to see Bruce performing his accoustic material, but there was no focus on the two albums Human Touch and Lucky Town. They where too haphazard. And Bruce looked a bit tired on the Reunion tour. He and the band was not as fit and tight as they proved to be in 2002 and 2003.”<\/p>\n
