or this one .... a thousand great songs on that stage and they start with the classic McGuinn Rickenbacker intro ..

Of the 30 or so Bruce shows I have seen, I imagine he has done 10th Avenue close to 100% of the time. The most memorable performance I saw personally was Auburn Hills in 2016,when Stevie snuck Bob Seger up on stage while Bruce was in the crowd with his back turned...
But this performance from Live In NYC with Band intros is incomparable.. Scooter and The Big Man bust the City in half and find cold beer at a reasonable price...
He's better since they fixed the sinuses. Heard he's a good live show.
TIL I learned about Norman Blake. It was a good day.
Anybody remember some of the bands from their time at IU. Obviously during my time (mid 90's) it was pretty good. Johnny Socko. The Why Store. But the one i always like the best was Homonculus. Great live shows.
Well they went to LA i believe and tried to make it happen in a commercial sense.
This is akin to what they produced.
Different.
This is more representative of a show that you'd have seen at the Bluebird.

I know The Why Store well from my time traveling to AAU games with my mom while listening to X103 in Indy. I’m trying to remember the name of the show (maybe a word similar to hangover) but it was a dude who played less popular alt/rock stuff on Sunday mornings.
I had this on 45...
Burdon was talking about the grit of Industrial Britain in places like Manchester and Birmingham, but the jungles of Vietnam work just as well...
I was going to link that one but Dylan just seems so distracted...
And speaking of Mr Zimmerman...
This thread is getting unwieldy. Not only should this have already been posted, but I should have posted it. But I can't find it.
Im a sucker for these threads even when Isolating. This has been my favorite band during Covid. Saw them recently with my youngest daughter and they didn’t disappoint. It’s kinda “dad rock”.
Story has it Jeff Beck was messing around on the drums and Stevie loved what he was doing and wrote the rest around Beck's drum beat.
Saw them in Indy about 4-5 years ago. Great show.
Fun fact. Kurt Vile is a former member of their band.
I'm absolutely astounded and fear for our oldsters that anyone could possibly think that knowledge of a cool Tom Petty album is any sort of reason to fear for future generations.
Some of the Moody's stuff got a little too astral for me, but I played the shit out of this album when I first got it as a Columbia Record Club selection in junior high...
The venue acoustics too. Like Market square vs The Fieldhouse is night and day different.
How about a couple of live Stones covers...With a touch of Elvis for good measure...
Never saw this one prior to today- Never even considered it within the realm of possibility...
This Elvis/Stones fan request medley from 2014 is (imho) a simply amazing example of how incredible of a performer Springsteen is. Are their "better" covers of both songs? Quite likely, though I don't know of any offhand...
My biggest regret regarding this show which was the day following my birthday is that I missed it. I had gone to Bruce's previous 2 tour appearances in Nashville, and I have lots of family in the area. But I had already gone to Dallas and Cincy and had tickets for Columbus a couple of nights later, so I opted not to drive to Nashville. As soon as I saw the setlist and this video I knew I ****ed up...

We were at bankers life/conseco/whatever it will be called next week/ for the Eagles about 12 years ago. It was impossible to hear the vocals on our area. No one could.
This song was written about not being able to hear Bob Dylan at Assembly Hall.
I don't know if any sound man could make Assembly Hall work. It seemed designed to foil all.

Acoustic mapping and speaker placement would have fixed that ... though that's probably much easier now than then.
I went to see the Eagles at YUM Center. There was an echo of every snare drum strike that reached us about 1 second after the real strike.
Ruined it.
Next time I could see them, Frey was dead.
When Nash was with the Hollies I think they were as good as any. I would be sad he left but CSN(sometimes)Y has been as good as any.
As a former industry guy I can attest to this. And as a spectator I’ve heard both the best and worst sound in the same venue. The Palladium in Carmel which is a fairly new venue within the last 10 years has proven to be somewhat tricky for sound men. One one end I saw Esperanza Spalding play and they could never get the the sound and mix right and the show was just awful. I also saw Sarah Jarosz/Milk Carton Kids there and it might have been one of the best sounding shows I’ve ever heard. So yes a good sound man can overcome but certainly some venues are easier than others.
A lot of the challenge can also be the type of music as it relates to the venue. Don't know that venue, but obviously Esperanza Spalding and Milk Carton Kids have very different instrumentation and sound profiles that present different challenges for sound crews.
