Since The Boss's anti-Bush tour is a hot topic right now, it's thrown me into Bruce Mode. What are some of your favorites? I'll be kicking myself later for stuff I'll foget, but here's what I can think of at the moment.....
Songs:
She's The One
The River
Hungry Heart
I'm On Fire
Adam Raised A Cain
Streets Of Fire
Sad Eyes
Human Touch
Ghost Of Tom Joad
If I Should Fall Behind (live w/ E Street Band)
The Fuse
Back In your Arms Again
Empty Sky
Tougher Than The Rest
Ain't Got You
Secret Garden (NOT the version with the Jerry Maguire overdubs...chee-zay!)
Streets Of Philadelphia
Straight Time
Born In The USA (solo acoustic version)
Cover Me (live)
Two Faces
No Surrender (especially live)
Thunder Road (any live version)
Two Hearts
Albums:
Darkness On The Edge Of Town
Tunnel Of Love
The Rising
(He also gets a big nod for awesome boxed sets: one of ten years of live performances including rare ones and I like many of the performances even better than the recorded versions, and one of three discs filled entirely with previously unreleased material :] )
Videos:
*I'm On Fire (heartbreakingly cute)
*War (could this possibly rock more?!)
*Fire (as a Nils Lofgren fan and a lover of Bruce's drama, what more could I ask for?!)
*Tougher Than The Rest (this KILLS me. One of my fave songs anyway, and then here's Patti and Bruce both wearing 1988-shiek bolo ties, failing an attmept to act professional onstage as they are falling madly in love. The passion in their eyes is heart-wrenching. Scandalous.)
*If I Should Fall Behind (incredible song, and I love seeing all of the band members do their parts...especially Nils and Patti)
*Murder Incorporated (love the gritty atmosphere)
Personal concert moments:
*2002: Getting to see all of those amazing songs from The Rising played live with Bruce's still-incredible energy, and him shocking me by playing Dancing In The Dark (it was awesome!)
*1999: Being introduced to If I Should Fall Behind (I was disappointed, though, that Patti had to miss this show for some reason)
*1996: Being 16 at a show on the solo acoustic tour and Bruce introducing Red Headed Woman as "a song about cunnilingus"...I was fine, but my Catholic mother was squirming in her chair! :laugh: Also getting hear the acoustic version of Born In The USA for the first time.
Phew! Anyone else?
