Lived.......Good times when he was on here................

Kenny if it is the same person then Springsteen actually dedicated a song to Peter at one of his concerts as believe it or not he knew him.

cannot remember his surname hence my thread

I work with a geezer whos daughter was recently in USA ...............saw a band in the cafe that she adored & eventually asked for their autographs......a scruffy geezer turned up & sat wiv em


When she went to pay said............"bruce has settled it"

Bruce's daughter is an international equestrian competitor and just missed out on the Olympics last year.

He's also very friendly with an Irish trainer, but for the life of me, I can't remember the guys name!

i SEEM TO RECALL KOHAKU (SURE THAT WAS HIS NAME ON HERE) recounting that story, Mad.

He wrote PtP Books..............shame hes not here ............but prob could be...........wheres the forum gone......Im on here for the craic.............but it filled up wiv abusive nutters

It was Pete Harris I think. Used to post as Nogoodboyo, amongst others I seem to remember. A good bloke in my experience.

nogoodboyo that was his name although he went thru a few lol

Just found this:

'Glad you flagged that up, an enjoyable half hour, don’t seem to listen to the raidio these days. The Pete in question was a late night (controversial / mad) radio DJ, Peter “The Major” Harris on Cardiff’s first commercial radio station in the 80′s, he used to play lots of Bruce & Southside, he was also a local bookmaker & had a shop “Peter Harris Racing” two streets from where I live just outside cardiff, he currently gives daily racing tips on BBC Radio Wales…. Nice story a couple of Welsh lads hanging out with Bruce, I had to wait another six years before I saw him but I never got that close'

Peter did a stint on RUK and was good value to be fair.

well done thunder mystery solved

ThunderRoad

Thats INC...........if its the same geezer..............

Kenny Mann..... send a message to me through the internal messaging system if you require more info

cheers alun, but if he's alive and well I'm content, given the heart problem he had

love a bit of Brucey...he's no Mozza though...

I saw The Boss at Wembley stadium around 1985, he absolutely rocked the place and without doubt one of the best gigs I've ever been to.

aint looked at ya links yet thunder but if its the one im thinking of....and there was a part one and two then ive yet to see a stage performance to top it -involved the whole band and the audience and was out of this world

Thunder....they werent the links i was looking for -theres footage out there of him split over two parts lasting 15 mins plus when he totally plays the audience to Tenth Avenue Freeze Out - i had it in my mind it was Barca but could be wrong

Think you're thinking of NY :)

Ive never seen him live but I doubt there is many better rock moments than when Born to run kicks in

It was NGB, he never tired of telling his story about hanging out with Bruce, can't say I blame him. Pity he was such a hot head. Turned up with myriad user names but ended up getting them all banned bless him

Yes Thunder thats the one -how good is that performance ........

tough to beat that

great links lads

Another great one from Barca - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=qmmMvZd1ENI&NR=1

Enda Bolger had a horse called Fiftysevenchannels and is a huge Springsteen fan and attends all his concerts,think that is where Springsteen sent his daughter for riding experience.

That's who it is WildMan.

After the Paul McCartney fiasco, Bruce responded by taking the piss out of the whole thing at his next show (Dublin). He kicked off with the Twist and Shout he never got to finish (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWKHAjBrH-w) and at the end of the show he got some 'London officials' to come onstage and pretend to throw them off - Enda Bolger was one of the 'officials' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDL-0huhyjc)

And here's Enda again - http://www.p2ptv.ie/?tube=216

Played the Born to Run record till it wore out during my college days (30 odd years ago)
Became a big fan. Finally saw him years back (20?) at some London venue. I've been to a lot of concerts but its the only time I can remember when I literally felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. It was his last tour with the E Street band before he broke them up. Did 'If I fall behind' for the encore. Best concert of my life and doubt I will ever experience the like again. One of the true songwtiting/performing greats and comes across as a nice sort of bloke you'd like to have a beer with.

spoke to boyo this morning he is fit and well, and still living in Cornwall
