I do like it live, though.  (hard not to  ) |
Yeah Working is probably one of my least favourite Springsteen songs. Absolutely love Downbound Train.

I just wouldn't consider them the same as a band that wrote/ released original music.

I believe the Blues Brothers toured quite a bit after they featured on Saturday Night Live a lot and from then on stemmed the movie idea. I think the band would have continued even after the movie if John hadn't died. They loved doing it. Though they never did original material, a lot of their stuff was (re)-arranged in such a fantastic way that I think they would have been amazing to see live. Think they were well beyond the Spinal Tap kinda stuff which by all means was a bit of a piss take really.
