      Does anyone know what time Paul and the band usually hit the stage? We're seeing him (for the first time) in Washington, DC on July 12th. Ticket says Showtime 8pm. I don't plan to be late (but I don't want to be tooooo early!). I heard that there was a major entry snafu at Nationals Park for Springsteen last year, and I don't want to miss a minute of the show if they haven't yet figured out how to get us onto the floor.

        From what I have read, he goes on about 8:30pm. Read: ABOUT. There are no guarantees regarding time. For my part, I would do everything I could to be there by 8pm, since you never know what may come up and they decide it is best to start on time.

          Usually about 8:40 for shows that say they start at 8. Get there by 8 and enjoy the DJ and pre-show films!

            Unless you're crazy, I would get there by 7 pm! Then you have plenty of time to browse the merchandise, go to the john, and find your seat. The pre-show video starts sometime after 8 and then Paul strolls on at 8:30. You don't want to miss a second of it! My stupid cousin and her son made me a few minutes late in 1990 and I did get a t-shirt, but then missed the beginning of the video! I was so pissed! Never again!

              Oh...I've heard about the pre-show film (singular) and thought it was just a brief retrospective with the house lights down and the band hitting the stage. Sounds like a bigger deal than that, and certianly part of the experience I don't want to miss! Thanks for the tip!

                No, it's quite long actually. But go much earlier, the atmosphere is great.

                appreciate
