The boss is playing Glasto this evening, but as I'm not up for camping in a field full of mud this year, I won't be there.

Is there any way to watch it live on TV or the internet? I know there will be clips on the highlights show, but I want to see the whole shabbang.

Thanks in advance wink

They usually show most of the headlines acts on the bbc program or red button. Should think it'll be on the website as well

Pretty dull what I've seen so far. But that said I'm not a Springsteen fan.

Thoroughly enjoying it. cloud9
Great songs (new ones just as good as the classics) and one of the best backing bands in the business.

it was on TV but on highlights.

i've seen him twice recently, and as expected i didn;t think the glasto performance was great, he is obviously much better in a stadium full of his own fans.

some of his song choices were a bit suspect as well, i think if you are playing to a general audience you should keep to mainstream songs rather than just playing what you would to normal fans.

i thought the specials were awesome to be honest, loved the rude boys in the suits dancing in hte corwd. never liked neil young that much, always thought he was over rated. saw springsteen on the red button, looked like he was really enjoying it.

anyway, just back from a weekend in london were we saw the killers in hyde park which was pretty special.

It's on BBC 3 at the moment, but TBH I think I find him a bit tame....like he's just going through the motions.

I managed to track down a little bit of NY on the iPlayer - I'd be happy if I kick half as much ass as that when I'm 60!!
