here's an old favorite:

about as perfect as pop gets:

Not too be a ballot stuffer but this is one of my all time favs:

You'll get your wish, it just happens that he has cranked out albums and tours in recent years and this is a downtime. All talk indicates that the E Street Band have one more go in them at some point. I'd be surprised if his next album isn't a full band record.

Can't believe this one's gone unmentioned. Pure Pop Perfection:

Haven't searched the whole thread, but one way or another I knew it needed more Bon Scott in it:

Maybe because I was 10 in 1984 I am more of an apologist for BITUSA than those who were older and a Bruce fan going back ten years before, but to me it has worked on different levels as I've aged. As a ten-year old I just thought those were some catchy ass pop songs, not as good as another mega-record from that year ("Purple Rain") but damn if I didn't love the hell out of it. Years later as an adult songs like "Dancing In the Dark," "I'm Going Down' and "Downbound Train" took on a whole new life. Lyrically and thematically most of the record is as dark and full of despair as "Nebraska." No su

That's some pretty shitty news. Thank goodness no one was inside.

CDM, I think based upon what Bruce has said in interviews about how he has learned to relax with his records abit in the past decade,hence his prolific run the past few years, he too will relax with holding onto all of this stuff so closely. I really think the floodgates are going to open in the next few years with all of these treasures. He seems to really relish in the revisiting and exploring his past, he certainly likes talking about it, so I'm with you, just bring it all on already.

the Lee Harvey Oswald Band - Morphodie (anyone ever hear this album? excellent) PJ Harvey - Hook Uncle Tupelo - Sin City Wilco - Jesus, ETC (KTV) The Vibrators - Petrol MMJ - What a Wonderful Man (Okonokos) Springsteen - Johnny Bye Bye Gram Parsons - Hot Burrito #1 Slint - Kent KISS - Plaster Caster (grab ahold of me faster, if you wanna see my love, just ask her)

Don't shoot me, but I think I prefer the reworked Tracks take on "The Promise" versus the original version. I just think the song hits harder with the sparse arrangement and middle-aged Bruce's voice. Either way, fucking unbelieavable that this song was an outtake, and furthermore that video footage is just superb!

I guess they were so forgettable that I incorrectly named them in my journal.

Have been watching Boardwalk Empire since the beginning and even thought about starting a thread on here. Very impressed thus far, especially with the weaving of of the Chicago, NYC, AC plotlines. I thought it might be too much but if indeed they are trying to paint a broad picture of the early days of organized crime, then they are doing a very meticulous job. The attention to set, costume and period has been astonishing, apparently there is some overlap with Madmen designers, wardrobe, etc. Buscemi may have found the role of his life.

Being a huge fan of all of the bands in that video I can't believe i've never seen that before, thanks a lot. It also makes me think of Johnny Thunders teaching Sid Vicious how to shoot heroin while on the Anarchy tour with the Heartbreakers.

I just found a reference to an opening band called "The Boxed Set" in an old journal at the 3 Rivers Arts Festival show in Pittsburgh in June, 2003. I have no recollections of them.

The arena seats 22,000 for basketball or 17,500 for a fully sold-out concert. For MMJ they didn't sale tickets for the upper arena at all. They have a very clever system of blocking it off with long, black drapes that make it seem intimate, even though there are technically 7-8,000 empty seats. You really couldn't even tell those seats existed. The fricking Eagles sold out the whole damn place of course.

Well, that last sequence this week seems to confirm that indeed they will become lovers/partners in crime. For whatever reason, and you have to really suspend reality quite often with this show, she sees Dexter as a kindred spirit. That scene at the warehouse was quite possibly the most preposterous nick of time escape yet.

Nothing more satisfying than seeing MMJ here in my hometown, their hometown, before 10,000 plus people in a total lovefest to the city. A really good Louisville band as an opener, the Louisville Youth Orchestra who performed above and beyond all night, the local village, the new arena, downtown Louisville was jumping before and after the show. It made me feel downright some serious pride. I saw MMJ for the first time close to ten years ago, and even then you got the sense that they were way too big for the tiny clubs they were playing, after Friday night I go a step further and say that they'r

I think even Bruce admitted "WOAD" was a misstep indirectly by only playing 2-3 cuts from it on the tour, wheras "The Rising" and "Magic" both were featured prominently on their respective tours. "Magic" is my favorite by Bruce since BITUSA.

I saw two of the Somic Youth/Wilco shows in Cleveland and in Central Park in NYC. I remember thinking that it was sort of a passing of the guard kind of moment.

Something got my mind going on this topic the other day and it's staggering to think of all of the notable bands/artists that have opened for Wilco over the years. To get the ball rolling: My Morning Jacket, Sonic Youth, Sleater Kinney, The Flaming Lips, The Roots, Dr. Dog, Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, Yo La Tengo, Tortoise. What others do you recall?

This: According to legend, as a young black man living on a plantation in rural Mississippi, Robert Johnson was branded with a burning desire to become a great blues musician. He was "instructed" to take his guitar to a crossroad near Dockery Plantation at midnight. There he was met by a large black man (the Devil) who took the guitar and tuned it. The "Devil" played a few songs and then returned the guitar to Johnson, giving him mastery of the instrument. This was, in effect, a deal with the Devil mirroring the legend of Faust. In exchange for his soul, Robert Johnson was able to create the

The latest from Patterson: Y'ALL: Hope everyone out there is doing fine. We've enjoyed our time at home, although no one could actually accuse us of being "Off". Actually been really busy preparing for our Halloween Weekend Shows, getting the next record all set up, working out logistics for The Big UK/Europe To-Do and setting up our NEW YEARS EVE BIG TO-DO FINALE which we will have more info on for you very soon and TONS MORE. First off, for all of our FACEBOOK Friends, we just launched a FREE DOWNLOAD of "Your Woman is a Living Thing" (our Record Store Day Single from April) and t

Check out this interview with Max starting at the 3:06 mark for some clarification on the full-band "Nebraska." "Weinberg did reveal that the rumored full-band recording of Springsteen's 1982 acoustic disc Nebraska does exist. "The E Street Band actually did record all of Nebraska and it was killing," Weinberg says. "It was all very hard-edged. As great as it was, it wasn't what Bruce wanted to release. There is a full band Nebraska album, all of those songs are in the can somewhere." http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/17386/113564
