Had no idea this was out, gave it a spin last night and loved it, thanks👍

Promise I’m not just sharing this for the cover art. Don’t know this band that well even though they’re from Notts, but I really, really like this.

Have you checked out the film yet? Really interesting and different to what I was expecting having not read much about the shows beforehand.

I really enjoyed it and I’d recommend anyone remotely interested in Springsteen watches it. The chat between songs is mostly pretty fascinating although I could have done with perhaps 10% less talking and did find some of the stories a bit contrived. I also felt a couple of the tracks didn’t quite work in the way they were reimagined (dancing in the dark as a heartfelt ballad I could have done without) but those that did work are just fantastic. He is pretty incredible - especially when you think he rolled that show out for a whole year.

Not yet - I’m saving it for the right moment; glass of wine etc.

I’m a fan but thought this could be a slog - heavily scripted anecdotes recycled from his book, two hours of dour solo acoustic renditions that just remind you of the perfect E Street Band versions, etc. Actually it flew by, and I thought the balance of stories and songs worked well. He is indeed incredible.

The bit about his dad, and then that version of Long Time Comin’…:cry:

The Ghost of Tom Joad was similar to the version he opened the show with at Coventry in 2013, just superb.
