I actually bought Tattoo You when it came out. ('81). The critics were not especially kind to their 1980 follow up to Some Girls ('78), Emotional Rescue.
It was cringeworthy then, and remains so,
Fave rave from Tatoo You,
Finally, saw them at the Pontiac Silverdome for that tour. Iggy opened for them. Iggy, who is from Ann Arbor. They threw beer bottles at him.
my son and i will see him in march. its been a few years. my 1st springsteen show was at the old garden in 1977. incredible performer and band.
It's possible I was with you there! Agree completely. I know some people aren't into him, but to me he's the man. I feel lucky to have seen him. Tightest band in Rock N Roll in my opinion. Showmen through and through -- and not in a cheesy way.
i agree. ive been fortunate to see him a lot and every show has been terrific. my son was 12 the last time we saw bruce and he's now 20. he and i go to a lot of shows together but this one will be special for both of us.

I really haven't listened to any of Springsteen's later work.
The last album I borrowed from the library and "burned" to a CD was 2007's Magic, which imho is a very good record. I like it for various reasons.

Favorite track: "Girls In Their Summer Clothes," an instant classic almost worthy of Brian Wilson's nocturnal emissions,
Also,
BTW, the individual who famously asked the rhetorical question, "How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?" became a long time Senator from the state of Massachusetts, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, and eventually Secretary of State.
i'm guessing the perfect sax part was the great Bobby Keys but i've never checked on that. i love it as well.
Just looked it up. Sonny Rollins. Surprisingly still with us.

3 versions of a song off of Nebraska, one of my favorite of Bruce's albums. Ryan Adams just released a cover of the entire album for free to download. All 3 are different and all good, but I actually like The Band's version the best.....
very cool. thanks for posting. an amazing talent!
Lucinda Williams? I should know her, but don't, really.
