Hume Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 i'd pay $35 to sit in the balcony and join the sing-a-long with 50 000 people and be in the same stadium as one of the greatest songwriters and musicians to ever live, certainly.

sinochick Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I saw Paul perform 4-5 years ago in Seattle (Key Arena). He really does give a great show. His concerts are 3+ hours and filled with his hits (Beatles, Wings, Solo). I would love to go this show but I don't have any other friends who would want to go/pay to go. I may just decide to get a single ticket closer to the show. The hilight for me from that Seattle show was when he performed Helter Skelter....and of course, Hey Jude!!!

DonLever Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 Bruce Springsteen is in Vancouver on Nov.26, the day following McCartney concert. There is a chance that they will perform together, which they have done before. So 2 for the price of one. The only question I have is the availabilty of tickets. They will only have about 40,000 on sale and you know it will be sold out in minutes. Scalpers always seem to find a way to get tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hudson bay rules Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I've actually seen some recent televised performances and if you have some perspective on the matter that he's a 70 year old performer and not this guy: ...he's still pretty good entertainment IMO. Sure his voice is as haggard as he is but he's a 70 FREAKING YEAR OLD ROCK STAR!. I don't expect him to sound 18. He's still one hell of an accomplished musician and performer. I'm not old enough to have been able to see him live in his prime but him (along with the other three "Fab Four") were some of the most talented and influential artists of the past 100 years. Getting an opportunity to glimpse even a shimmer of that ray of artistic light is not something anyone should easily pass up IMO. Count yourself lucky that you were able to bathe in the full warmth of that light years ago but don't begrudge the rest of us who missed out for attempting to touch some small sliver of it.

Sharpshooter Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 To see him even 15-20 years ago would have been worth it. For me, not so much now. If that Lennon fella ever comes to town though, i'd get a ticket i suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLASSJAW Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 springsteen is a bit stubborn with his set lists and plays too many new songs (there's like 5-7 'Wrecking Ball' songs per night. come on.) anyway, some other staples in recent shows seem to be: born to run 10th avenue freezeout badlands dancing in the dark hungry heart working on the highway the rising thunder road unfortunately 'nebraska' songs are getting performed inconsistently, but you're guaranteed about 22-30 songs, and your money's worth i'll definitely be getting my dose of dad rock from the boss, but i'll pass on mccartney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 plus Bruce has Weinberg and Van Zandt backing him... don't get much better than that for a backing band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonLever Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 Some people on this thread have said they would rather see Springsteen. Yes, I have seen Springsteen before and he is a great performer. But he comes to Vancouver quite often, every few years. On the other hand, Paul McCarthy has not been her for almost 50 years and he may never come again, given he is 70 years old. Do you think he will still be performing at 80 years of age? This is may be the last chance to see him before he joins Lennon and Harrison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grapefruits Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Got my presale tickets about an hour ago, going to be an awesome concert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonLever Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 Tickets went on sale at 10:00 am and they are basically sold out except for single seats. Fortunately I bought two during the Live Nation Pre-sale yesterday. Anyone with half a brain would be able to figure out the password for the presale. The password was easily found with a google search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowhereman Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Bought mine this morning at 10:00am sharp. Section C on the floor. I had seats in section B but then a glitch in Ticketmaster caused me to have to reset my order. Has anyone ever watched a concert in BC Place from section C on the floor? Are the seats any good?

Gurn Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Saw Roger Water in May from the floor in A5. All I can say is the seats are far to small and you're packed in like sardines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
