Nice piece, John. As one of the two questioning voices, I absolutely get your point. Like you, I reach for his records reasonably rarely and hear the over-familiar on the wireless. So I get the ‘annual family and friends event’ argument you put forward so eloquently.

I also completely agree re stadium shows. I dislike them and much prefer the Grant Room vibe! Bruce is one of the only acts I would suffer the enormodome experience for. Inexplicably, he somehow makes it personal. Even from our seats at the very back row at Murrayfield. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Enjoy San Sebastián!!

Thanks, Alan! As I write, poor Lis is hunkered over her phone in M&S's Dunfermline cafe trying to get tickets. I'm in an Edinburgh school with no access so here's hoping. We're going anyway, we'll get in on the night. All adds to the adventure!
