Everyone seemed to have such amazing memories of that gig.
Many Springsteen fans were seeing their first shows on that tour. Plenty were going through major exams at school that summer and they needed something to cheer them.
Dan French was already a veteran. He's probably Britain's foremost Springsteen expert and he was a great help when we were writing the book.
If it was all right with Dan, then we knew we were on the right road.
Dan sent his story "If I Were You, I Wouldn't Start From Here!". It was written by his friend Mike Saunders with the help of Dan himself and Linda Gilder.
We used most of it in the book, but the version linked to is complete and unedited.
It's an epic - on the scale of Michael Palin's "Biggles Goes To See Bruce Springsteen"!
It tells the tale of a group of English people in a foreign country, searchin', searchin' for the Promised Land.
