"Great football stadium show from start to finish. From my seat in the Holte End, the band left nothing behind on one of those epic, memorable performances from this tour so far. They really are the Legendary E Street Band."

"10th tome we’ve seen BS and ESB. Probably the best set list I’ve heard. Saw him last time he played at Villa Park, which was quite infamous, as you could hear it 5 miles across the city!!! "

"Brilliant show, perhaps the best of the European tour so far. That band know how to play and Bruce is still a formidable frontman. God bless Bruce and the E Street Band "
