Every time I read one of your stories, I find them so rich with details, that happens only when you follow the first rule of good writing: write only about the things you know!

The style, as usual, is so clear and relaxing!

It feels like drinking limpid mountain water from a small creek lost in the depth of a forest!

Brava, brava, brava!!!

Superb, Sheila. Your description does Bruce justice. Un mito, as you say. And what a venue!

Davvero un mito! Thanks for reading, carissima Paola!

That is such a terrific review...should be in Rolling Stone! I doubt that was the Boss' last time in Rome. With a reception like that and a venue like that one, he would be crazy not to come back again!

I do hope he'll return, and maybe even you can come for that next performance of his! Hope you and Ken are well. Sending love. xxS

Wonderful to read about the Boss & this memorable Bruce Springsteen concert in the Circo Massimo

We are near Piazza Venezia and we saw the crowds walking by

Thanks for another great article

Great article as usual Sheila. I had exactly the same experience as you with Springstein early on but went to a couple of concerts and was blown away. Found it quite amazing that Italians knew all the words to every song! Am forwarding your article to a friend who used to be his PR with Sony Music in Rome, now retired, she will be thrilled xx
