Bruce on The Loose
- 12 Dec 07, 09:21 AM
Thankfully Led Zeppelin mania has abated. It was quite alarming to hear so many Radio 2 presenters pledging their allegiance to the Zep, even though their normal playlists would suggest a more sedate record collection. At least Terry Wogan had the strength of mind to ridicule this mass delusion. At heart, they are mostly Abba fans.
So let¡¯s get revved up for the return of Bruce Springsteen to the Odyssey arena, Belfast. When he played there with the Seeger Sessions Band, the mood was exultant. His new album ¡®Magic¡¯ rocks with the E Street Band and is steered by the author¡¯s conscience. Expect many references to war in the Middle East. But the guys are also doing ¡®Santa Claus Is Coming To Town¡¯ in the set. Bonus!
Don¡¯t forget, this Friday at 10pm will find my Radio Ulster show delivering the A-Z of Springsteen, from ¡®Atlantic City¡¯ to Steve Van Zandt. There are some playlist ideas here. We¡¯re still welcoming your suggestions and requests, so please participate.
Stu Bailie presents The Late show on Radio Ulster, every Friday from 10pm until midnight. See his playlist here.
