Limerick Rocks To Springsteen [July 16, 2013]

A quick round-up of comments about last night's Bruce Springsteen concert in Limerick.
Irish Independent: "Thomond Park has seen its fair share of rocking nights in Munster red - but none like this as Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street band played the biggest concert ever to take place in the venue.
"The Boss and the E-Street Band thumped out an exhilarating mid-summer vibe as 40,000-plus fans savoured rock music at its very best."

@jollybeggarman “Dear God. I can't process that. I really can't. I'm too tired and emotional to try and say what happened tonight. #brucelimerick"
@Drizzielee "Fantastic 41 shots"
@thejohnhealy "Great gig in Limerick. Thank you!"
@raytomany "He introduced [41 Shots] as a letter back home. Tears in the band and among the crowd by the end."
@damianclarke66 "What a show! Thanks Bruce."
@PhillyCarey "Well, that was a brilliant gig and a brilliant venue!"
@AndrewTLowry Amazing that Bruce dedicated 'My Hometown' to JT McNamara in Limerick. For those that don't know JT was paralysed after a fall in Cheltenham."
From our Facebook page:
Stephen Robin Getty "Incredible show tonight in Limerick. You could tell Bruce was really enjoying himself. Born to Run Album tonight in the set. Highlights for me 41 Shots & a really beautiful Drive All Night."

Paul Fitz "I would have paid my ticket just for the pre-show. It was excellent. I was 2 rows from the front and so it seemed personal for the crowd in the pit."

If you were at the show, please let us know what you thought!
