Bruce In Dublin

As you may have read in the newspaper, the London concert ended prematurely when the promoter pulled the plug on Bruce and Sir Paul McCartney while singing "Twist and Shout." There is a curfew ordinance in Hyde Park because wealthy people reside nearby and the promoter sucked up to them. Well, the very next concert was here in Dublin. Bruce, the master of shtick, was ready. He came onstage with a large prop of an electrical power switch. He turned it to the "On" position and said, "Now, before we were so rudely interrupted," and the band kicked in and they completed "Twist and Shout." The next song was "I Fought The Law (And the Law Won)" which is an oldie by The Bobby Fuller 4. At the end of the 3:20 concert, he had two guys come out in full costume, one being a promoter in a suit, and the other in a policeman's uniform. Hi jinks ensued, with Bruce successfully fighting them off as they tried to invoke a fictional curfew. Of course, the audience lapped it up.
