Ask BruciesBaBe

I went to the 2nd nights gig at bramall lane and it was FANTASTIC!!!! Tunnel of Love tour 88, great. Cant remember much about it but I know it was amega experience......still got the tour T shirt somewhere......

I went and the ticket says it was the tunnel of love express tour and the back up band was the E street band.
There was no support band and they played for about 3 hours. It was on 9th July 1988. The stage was at the bramall lane end facing the kop and I trhink there were about 50,000 there.
One of the back up singers was the red haired woman bruce married. Her name is Pat somerthing. I might still have the programme knocking around somewhere. I've still got my ticket.

Patti Scialfa.

Same here. Sat on my front doorstep in Darnall and could hear it clearly and it even felt as if the floor was vibrating.

I was there - I'd been to see him at Villa Park (lived in Brum in those days) and was so bowled over by it I drove all the way up to Sheffield to see him again and he was just as good.

It was my first ever visit to Sheffield - never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I would end up living here :-)

was just starting to show an interest in bruce at the time,didnt get tickets and could have kicked myself after cos i heard what a great concert it was,have seen him 3 times since though,and each concert was fantastic.

yeah i remember it well!--i was sat next to an ipswich supporter and he said a girl in his office had been to every single concert in the tour all over europe then sheffield!--thats what you call devotion!!
rumour has it that the boss went to burger king after the show to eat and wind down!--apparently he always does sumething like that after a show!--hes not one for all the showbiz style!
ps--thought the concert was going to go on while the early hours of the morning!
CLASS ACT!!

oops,just seen ive posted above on my daughters screen name,itshould have gone under deelightful3.

He was Bl***y noisy we heard him out at Swallownest

I was on the local crew :)

The sound system was by Clair Brothers. I'd be suprised if you could here it at the back, nevermind Darnal ;)

me too. I lived at South Anston, off the A57 which is about 15 miles down wind. Could catch the chorus to most songs and the beat was strong too man ! :D

Living at Whiston, Rotherham and although I can't remember being able to hear the lyrics the beat was load enough for the neighbour to come round and ask us to turn it down :)

I'm not joking, we had a few complaints from the neighbour prior to this (we where young) and he came storming round. brother just said "you better ask Bruce" and slammed the door in his face :D

I am a sound engineer. I know what I am talking about. It was a thinly veiled taunt to see if anyone else around here knew what I was talking about :D Obviously not

Clair Brothers S4 cabinets are the most widely used PA in the world, but they throw about 2 feet. Rubbish but they have lots of them.

Still don't believe it was heard loudly at any of these places though.
