Yep; he's not a name that I think many people immediately think of as a great guitarist, but I agree he's fantastic. This solo just blew ne away the first time I saw it (love his exit, lol):

Absolutely- the guy practically invented Rock'n Roll
Still performs, too.
I love this performance from a few years back when he played with the E Street Band. Check out the grin on Bruce's face.
lol
That wasn't the first time they had played together- great story here:

Yep- saw Joe with the Eagles as well, and he pretty much made the show, IMO.
In the City was a goosebump moment for me that night.
