Bruce Springsteen

[Nico]

I'm having my own personal "Springsteen revisit" since seeing him in concert last week. It was absolutely AMAZING. I'd never seen him live prior and I can't believe how much energy and passion he (as well as the band) put into the singing, playing, and overall performance. It was mind-blowing, though I'm not too surprised because I'd heard from everyone who has seen him that his shows are almost always brilliant. This was a top, top, top concert in my book. I highly recommend anyone go see him if you haven't already.

But getting back to my point...is anyone here a Bruce fan? I love so much of his work. His early albums are so lyrically brilliant, and of course Born to Run is a classic. I bow to Nebraska and actually it's possibly my personal fave since I heard it years ago. But even his "commercial" stuff like Born in the USA is top stuff (nix the title track for me). There's just SO much great stuff...I absolutely adore the Rising album- and his new one, and the Seeger one he made. I think I'm starting to understand all the crazy love he gets- I used to not get him, but now it's a total 180.

Does anyone here have anything to say about Bruce. Like him? Dislike him? Has anyone seen him live? Any fave songs, albums, performances? I just feel like talking about him right now for some reason.
