Lol, he did a decent job. I'm like that when it comes to covers of my favourites, but he did good.

In other news, Barry Gibb is even praising his cover of staying alive.

BITUSA is a great album, and his biggest commercial success, but it's hardly his best album. Try Born to Run, and actually listen to the music, and the lyrics- any of Bruce's lyrics. I think if Meat sang some of his songs, people here would love them (note Prize Fight Lover). I could see a bit of swooning going on over this one:

Besides, I thought it's not the voice so much as the presentation?

P.S. I just stumbled on a new upload of New York City Serenade from last night- Roy Bittan fans might enjoy:

P.P.S. If anybody happens to know TheAussiemusicman, tell him he's my hero!

Someone thought to buy me a Springsteen Greatest Hits CD and other than one song I didn't really take to it at all. I'm unlikely to be 'converted' by attending a show because to be honest, I'd rather save the money for something else.

On the positive side, that'd be one more ticket available for someone that really wants to go and will appreciate the show more than I will.

His albums are just no reflection of his live performances - I don't even listen to the albums as there's just no point! They're not a patch on the shows, which are inexplicable.

I listened to all his albums before my first concert. I like them but wasn't hooked. Especially Born in the USA. I hard BITUSA in full at Hard Rock Calling, never listened to it on the CD again.

Same with Darkness, got a decent Wembley boot, even that makes the CD sound like a demo.

I'm all out of ideas

My go-to for Darkness is a rip of the Paramount Theater DVD from the Darkness box. (There are a few songs from it on Bruce's Vevo channel) I doubt I'll ever listen to the original album again.

As for BITUSA, the bonus CD that came with High Hopes is very good.

Looking at my M&G picture and how I look now, amazing how much more toned/handsome I look.

Need a new M&G pic.... One in a blue uniform.... In Vegas.

JennaG · 28 Feb 2014, 00:14

I refuse to look at mine from the last tour. I don't even think I still have the Nottingham one because I hated it so much.

I'd like a new one but it won't be happening unless I get better at photoshopping them into my 'dream' photo.
