Goombah, i remember Springsteen mania back in 1984 very well. Even in the UK he was massive. He played 2 consecutive nights at St. James' Park,our local football stadium. Both of these were 30,000 sell outs and he donated some of his money to the miners who were on strike at that time!
A top man is the Boss!
Oh yes, Yogi, he was big around the entire world in 1984 & 1985. Nearly as big as Michael Jackson at the time. I saw a Max Weinberg interview once saying one of the highlights of the tour for him was playing Wembley Stadium on July 4th. He noted how ironic it was to have the British singing so loudly to the two opening songs: Independence Day and Born in the USA.
Do you have the Hammersmith Odeon performance from the "Born to Run" 30th anniversary release? It is a classic 1975 concert from your neck of the woods.
