'I think the only one whose back wasn't aching by the end was the man on stage, who at 74 isn't showing any signs of slowing down'
You know it's summer in Belfast when the biggest outdoor gig of the year lands and they don't come any bigger than Bruce Springsteen and E Street Band.
The Belfast crowd had waited 11 years for Springsteen and his band to return to the city so when he stepped on stage with a roar of "Belfast" the crowd erupted.Ironically for this country, the song that kicked things off was "No Surrender". Never before had that term united a crowd in Northern Ireland like it did at that moment.
One fan had her shirt signed by the singer and another was brought over the barriers to share a dance with him but it was the young children propped up on their parent's and grandparent's shoulders who really got a treat. I think the only one whose back wasn't aching by the end was the man on stage, who at 74 isn't showing any signs of slowing down.
