Of course, music is subjective and others will not like him but his back catalogue is insane. And diverse as fuck.
Glad you enjoyed it, I've seen him three times over here.
I'll always remember the dj in mary ds playing Born in the USA before that Middlesbrough game, after the glazer take over was just confirmed.
He's the boss
He’s class mate. Second time for me seeing him - first time in 2016 at the Etihad. Went with my mum then and knew my dad loved him so took my dad this time around. A very very long day - got into Cardiff at 11am, was told by the parking guy that there was no more disabled parking (my dad uses a wheelchair to get about) as people were queuing up since 8am - doors didn’t open until 4pm and he came on at 7pm!!!!! Madness.
But a brilliant day nonetheless. 75 years old and still bouncing around like he’s in his prime. It was amazing.
Like you say, his back catalogue is ridiculous. You could put on his songs and shuffle them and end up listening to one you’ve not heard before. Racing in the Street is my favourite and the other month I realised he’d done a demo version of it that was slightly different to the released one (someone on here may have told me about it actually).
No Surrender is another favourite of mine and I used some of the lyrics from that to quote at my mums funeral - he played that which meant a lot.
