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?!

Saw him on Saturday, so much stamina!

I definitely would…

3 hours on stage and still looked like he could have given more. Phenomenal!

I saw him in London again.
If I didn't have work commitments this week and next I would be booking flights for any other European venue before the tour ends. I cannot believe he's still so amazing after so many decades.

I also saw him recently and after the gig I looked up where in Europe still had tickets available. There was some place in Germany that looked like a ball ache to get to (which is probably why there were still tickets).

I fell for Bruce (we're on a first name basis 😂) almost 20 years ago. He's 40 years older than me but I think I'd still like to spend a night with him...

I'd love to see an acoustic set live

But I'm imagining it's just me and him with his guitar and that flying jacket stuck somewhere in the snow 😂

I grew up with his music too. My parents are massive fans.
The first time I seen him was acoustic, The ghost of Tom Joad tour ( that's how old I am!) But he completely blew my socks off and I've been hooked ever since! He's the soundtrack to my life! 😆

Yuck. Creeps me out.
He reminds me of Aiden, Carries worthy boyfriend Sex in the City.

I’m sure I’m not his type either though.

See, he was always my fave in SATC too so must be a type I have

(Except for DP who's a massive bald rugby boy!)

I'be just watched the 1979 No Nukes show from NYC and come over all a bit flustered!

I was a baby in 1979 and even then he was older than my parents.

Watch some videos from the 80s. Particularly One Step Up and I’m On Fire.

Fucking hell, I’d climb him like a fucking tree.

In fact, I too saw him last Thursday, OP. Still would.

He was phenomenal.

Could have written both the OP and this.

Was buzzing all weekend after having seen him!

Springbecamethesummer · 11/07/2023 23:42

I grew up with his music, he's always been extremely sexy and charismatic. I would love to see him live.
I watch his old concerts where he dances with his Mum at the end, she bought him his first guitar when he was really young,

Yes, I love that jacket.

I can just imagine him snuggling me from behind, wrapping it around us both, so I’m braced against that lovely chest…

Hot in here, innit?

We really regret not going to the Broadway show.

Mind you, we watched it on telly and both ended up in bits, so it was probably for the best that we didn’t watch it in public.

That said, the last song last Thursday had me in floods, so…

@LunaNorth Thank you 😉

I've made myself a promise if he does another stint on Broadway or similar residency anywhere in going.
