Back from Milan

[skelters]

We went to Milan last week to see Bruce Springsteen at the San Siro.

We're in that pic!

Missed the gig on Sunday as the tickets were sold out immediatley but managed to get two for Tuesday when they came out in February.

Around 3 1/2 hours performance. No support act. Usual Springsteen type gig.

Probably the best Stadium gig we've ever attended.

The Italians went nuts from start to finish, great atmosphere, excellent sound and the weather was fantastic.

Taxi drivers need to be experienced to actually believe the madness. Terrifying experience!

The standard of parking? Every car has scratches, scrapes and dents except the one below.

Spotted an absolutely minted Alpha Romeo possibly GT. Didn't get a pic as it passed too quickly.

3 x E89, 1 White, 1 Black and 1 Grey.
2 x E85, 1 x Toledo Blue, 1 x Sterling Grey

On Thursday night we sat outside a local bar and had a few glasses of wine. Here's the view.....

Parked on the crossing

Arse sticking out a bit

Kissing the kerb

Sounds like quite an adventure!
Not the biggest Bruce fan but that doesn't matter.
Nice Fezza. The other cars sound like most other warm med countries - all cars have literally every panel dinged..

No would have sufficed

There might be someone interested in the setlist as he does vary the setlists. Not as varied as Bob Dylan used to be though.

He looks really tall in that first picture

He looks really tall in that first picture

130ft tall by all accounts. Half the height of the San Siro.

The guitars are specially made for him and it takes 10 roadies to pack his gear away.

Had to build a giant ladder to let him climb in to the stadium. Took the Italians 3 months to build it as nothing seems to happen quickly in Italy.

Of course it could just be the screen behind the stage and filming Springsteen and the audience!

not bad for a 66 year old

What, being 130 ft tall? Not bad for anybody really....

He didn't eat all his veg when he was a child. He's the smallest in his family. The two younger sisters are around 150ft tall.
