Bear with me....

I know he's 73 & he's got 3 decades on me but I am becoming obsessed after seeing him in concert last week.

I've found some old concert videos from the 70s and 80s and can't believe how magnetic he is and was on stage!

I love my DP but AIBU to say I wouldn't miss a beat to disappear with Bruce for a night?!

Not only lovely to look at but lovely all ways round - can't say too much but my exh was on tour with him just after my dd was born, he heard I was home alone with a new baby, sent me some flowers Smile nice man.

I think the photo you mention was posted early on this last night - like a public service alarm !

Show quote history

How did I miss it??

That’s a public service I’d happily pay a bit more council tax for, I can tell you. Fuck me sideways, he was so going to get it if I was the photographer.

I saw him at Hyde Park last week and he was absolutely phenomenal. I totally would.

Am amazed no one has yet posted the, er, eye opening topless photo of him with very tight jeans. I would post it but am concerned it would be censored by MN! Grin

I saw him a couple of time at Wembley in the 80s, I must go to a recent one I think

Same - he was phenomenal. Not seen him recently.

He is simply amazing, in interviews and clips he always seems so nice and chilled and funny.

I've seen him 3 times (including Edinburgh just the other month) in 9 years and he still blows my mind with his energy and talent.

I did laugh when I read an article the other day when Paul McCartney said he'd told him these 3 hour shows were not fair on the rest of them who can only manage 90 mins with a break!

Off to save all those photos you've shared and swoon at them.

I'm thinking a trip to Canada (either one city of two) then to Seattle. I'm not sure this (plus the cost of the ticket!) is a great use of money in the current financial situation though...

I wish I'd had this epiphany 20 years ago! Pre-kids and cheaper living. I could have just followed him anywhere.

I have the £ and I have so much leave left to take I could manage Sept easily. My DP might have a differing opinion to me on how both should be spent though!

I’ve seen him twice in concert. Just amazing.

Does anybody know where you can stream The Hyde Park set?

VanGoghsDog · 12/07/2023 01:44

I've got five days of leave still to book.....Canada sounds good. I've been to Seattle so no need to go again.

If I'd won the lottery on Sat night my plan had been to follow him for the rest of the tour

I have a v respectable job, a lovely DP and kids so goodness knows what I thought I'd do with them!

But I love the idea of a MN Bruce road trip 😂

VanGoghsDog · 12/07/2023 01:11

I saw him Thursday (free!) and now I want to follow him round the world.

I loved him when I was a teen but it never occured to me to try and get to one of his gigs.

He was breath taking.

@claracluck1978 mumsnet roadtrip? Please enable me? 😂😂😂The worst of it is a couple of tickets came up on local FB for the london dates, and I hesitated because I couldn't find someone that wanted the second ticket. In hindsight it would have been cheaper to buy both rather than planning an entire holiday around a non UK tour date... But I'm 50 mins in now and it still feels like a bloody bargain 😂

He's a very very sexy man. Saw him around 5 years ago. I so would!

We've got a queue forming here 😂

@claracluck1978 Honestly, I'm 35 mins into the set and currently would sell everything in my house bar the cat ( Priorities 😜💅) and we've not even got to any of the official Bruce Bangers... Am also considering US dates because I could at least then tie it into somewhere I wanted to visit ( not offence meant, Munich / Hockenheim...)

Tempting isn't it!

Suddenly feels like a bargain at £500 😂

I'm looking at autumn in the States or Canada as I can't make anything in the next 2 weeks.

Seriously considering just fucking off for a few days and forgetting I'm 43 and have responsibilities!

Damn you all, now I'm watching videos of the latest tour and calculating costs for European dates/ flights etc... I'm skint! I can't do this... But the calculating continues, maybe I can? maybe this is reasonable? 😍
