RIP. Never was huge on Springsteen apart from "Nebraska" and a few singles. But Bruce is still alright in my books.
One of my favorite videos though: I am a big Social D fan, so seeing him here makes me happy.

Here's an excellent, long article about Springsteen that raises my opinion of the man.

So I saw my first Springsteen show last night and holy ****, that guy kills it live. Here's some highlights from last nights show out in Foxboro (From youtube, not the actual show)...
Racing in the Street Lost in the Flood Death to My Hometown Haters to the left...

What's the verdict on his latest? Personally I think it's Bruce back to his best: angry, unrestrained, blue-collar and just not fcking taking it anymore.
But that's just me...

Though my favorite late-game Springsteen has been the Live in Dublin Album. That thing'll set you on fire.

You mentioned some of my favorites. Atlantic City, Brilliant Disguise. Cover Me.
I thought it was funny when England shut the show he and Paul McCartney was doing down. Bruce yells at them. I think they finished it from the looks of it. Quote:

I hope I look as good as he does at 62. I'm 9 years younger now. My birthday was this spring. He certainly has aged well. Just think. In 1979 at No Nukes, he was going on about turning 30, and he thought he was gonna die.

I kind of lost touch a little with albums after "The rising". Didn't really like D&D (must give it another try) and never listened to "Magic" or "Working on a dream", but everything up to then:pure class.
My all-time favourites would have to be (not in order) Born to run Darkness Nebraska Wrecking ball (yeah, I think it's that good) Live 75-85 (I know, I know: a box set, but every note is gold) Human touch/Lucky town (love them both in equal measure) Tunnel of love I have to mention Born in the USA, as it was the first Springsteen album I ever bought, but really it's quite commercial and kind of his "Eliminator", when you look at it: everyone was listening to it, just because it was cool. Like The The's "Infected": after the cool factor died everyone but the true fans drifted away. Men from the boys, ya know?
