I watched…..didn’t convince me of anything other than the fact that it’s good to hear Bruce and in fairness, it’s just not my genre of music.  But I will listen…..

Agreed.  Be nice to listen to once but that may be it.  If this features heavily in the new tour, I am really glad I didn't plunk down a mortgage payment on tickets.  I am sure I would have still had a great time (I would have fun seeing Bruce sing nursery rhymes with the full band) but not worth the $.

Have not seen the video yet, but heard it on E Street Radio.  My first impression was positive.  If this was a surprise inclusion in the encores, I think people would enjoy it a lot.  It’s a good ‘get off your butt and on your feet’ number.  

I do have a personal fondness for 60’s soul, from Detroit to Atlanta to Philly and all parts in between.  (But also raised on such various music as show tunes, Velvet Underground, Hendrix, British invasion and pop.)   Always liked it even way back when young Bruce pulled out cover songs in his sets.
Weather a full album of covers will be satisfactorily digestible (to me) is yet to be seen. But I don’t think that a song or two inserted into the second set or popped into encores would be ‘disruptive’ to any flow.  From Pretty Flamingo to Rave On to Trapped to Boom Boom to Satan’s Jeweled Crown et al, he has a pretty damn good track record on cover songs.  And most long time hard core fans have always enjoyed live cover compilations.  And The Pit has more requests than occupants at any show.


As far as any comments on his voice, I have no qualms.  We all can’t age like silk and be James Taylor. - Be very grateful that Bruce hasn’t aged to sound like Bob Dylan.  Don’t get me wrong, big Dylan fan, but if I want to listen to Bob’s ‘current vocalization style’, I’ll listen to Mongolian rock band Wolf Totem first.  
And second.  

And…Third.

That's for sure I only saw a quick head shot when I posted that... sorry Patti, my bad.

I'll say this about it, they look like they are all having a ball, maybe not Bruce but everyone else for sure.  I think I'd like a tour of this music before Seeger Sessions any day of the week.  But like a few other old folks on this site that got their nurses to wheel them over to the laptop. I was exposed to this music about as much as I was to Rock and Roll... as was Bruce.

Love it to death! Can't wait for the LP. After 44 years as a fan, it still surprises what he does next. Just as long as he doesn't turn into Rod Fuckin' Stewart!

I like Rod Stewart...
