SPRINGSTEEN - 30 YEARS OF GREATNESS



LOST IN THE FLOOD - 1975 @ Hammersmith Odeon, London

This song appeared on Greetings from Asbury Park, the first album and I'm sure many times I flipped right past it and dismissed it as a horrible song. But, this rendition was one of the top songs in a concert that includes Born to Run, Thunder Road, Jungleland and other, more traditional headliners. It goes to show that the producers of the first two albums (CBS) had no clue what kind of talent they had on their hands or how to present it. Born to Run was a make or break album and the Brits were licking their chops to see this cat that was making all the headlines across the pond.




DEVILS ARCADE - 2007 @ UNITED CENTER IN CHICAGO

Thirty years later, still writing and singing great songs. I would give anything to be able to write ONE song as great as the hundreds that Springsteen has produced.
