The Boss hasn’t had the happiest of times here in the past, but Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band’s recent visit must have gone well because it’s all happening again next year.

It gives Springsteen devotees another chance to prove themselves as his Biggest Fan Ever, Man (Like,Born To RunChanged My Life, Bruce) – though it won’t be hard to outdo the cynical English fellow featured in the recent fan-made filmSpringsteen & I. His complaint? “The concerts are too long.” Bless. In truth, Springsteen’s a marvel of agelessness, and he’s showing no signs of giving up the game anytime soon. The 2014 Australian dates includeWednesday February 19atAllphones ArenaandSaturday February 22atHope Estatein the Hunter Valley, whereThe RubensandDan Sultanwill support.
