I just don't like "Live in Dublin"

Paaah! Amateur. Real fans can tell they don't like it without any of that effort.

He's from the Midlands. They're a bit slow in those parts.

"you calling me a bit slow?"

Nice pipe. Hey Acosta, check out the inhaler.

You must be - 45,000 Bruce Springsteen fans can't be wrong.

I actually liked watching the fat guys in the audience in the AOL videos.

I broke down and bought it a few days ago. A sonic recording, worth it for Long Time Coming, Poor Man, and Love of the Common People.

The good news, it seems like he finally figured out how to mic, record, and mix a live show. If only Live 75-85 had this quality and sound seperation (and since Im dreaming, no freakin edits.)

I was disappointed with Poor Man. He sounds tired and he's growling instead of singing. He sounds in need of intubation on a few songs, but mostly on that one. The last shows of the tour might not have been the best ones to document. IMHO.

Poor man is such a passionate song and by far the best thing to come from, uh, these "sesssions/tour". The New Orleans version is still the best, but I thought the Dublin one got the job done.

I don't know if anyone hear has heard the original by Blind Alfred Reed, but Bruce deserves a lot of credit for rearranging, hell, re-writing the song into a powerhouse.

Love this damn song.

I love the song too, but not his performance on this one. The band rocks throughout the show, no doubt.

I think the Blind Alfred was posted here awhile back. I know I heard it somewhere.

Yeah sure, but Julius likes to look at fat guys.

We played the DVD in full 5.1 Surround Sound... fantastic! The family really digs

I agree with whomever said you could hear all 18 or so instruments clearly. It's the best audio mix Bruce has ever done, bar none. The shows seems good enough, but the audio quality is just outstanding.

I'm glad for this DVD.

Some of us are still waiting for a DTS mix

Have no plans to buy or listen to it.
Maybe for Christmas just to keep the collection complete.

My chief complaint about Dublin is that his vocals are very tired. I've played this for a couple of people who had no clue Bruce went nuts for a little while. "Great music...shitty vocals" is the common response. And please don't get me started on the four screaching women on Open All Night. Pats is not an Andrew Sister, by a long shot.

Amen to that.

Do you have to turn everything religious?

I watched a minute and a half of the PBS special (it opens with what I call The Rape of Atlantic City,) grabbed the remote and just punched in a random number to get away. Turned out to be Scrubs, which I HATE, and yet still watched. Just to try to forget that minute and a half...

Didn't work though did it
