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?!

Woah! Hold back! I've to fight my mother first!

You're welcome! 😊

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,

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!

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.

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.

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 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! 😆

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 😂

Saw him on Saturday, so much stamina!

I definitely would…

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.

Show quote history

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...

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

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? 😍

EarlNeedsAHome · 12/07/2023 00:40

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!

@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...)

TeeBee · 12/07/2023 00:58

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

@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 😂

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.

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 😂
