Bruce at The Super Bowl....


I thought he was great. The song selection, energy and showmanship all first rate. It had a carnival, circus vibe going on. Appropriate for the venue I think.

Pretty good, for a superbowl show. At least it wasn't pre-recorded, as so many have been.
Is it just me or has Bruce developed the "Bob Dylan" syndrome in the last few years?

I remember back in 1975 in a issue of Playboy, the article referred to him as the next Bob Dylan.

I, too, thought his vocal range was straining He could not hold the notes. I saw him on T-giving night in 1978 in StL at Keil Opera House (Born to Run tour)and it was the most energetic show I have seen to date. 4 straight hours of hard slamming live music.

Nope, it's not just you. I saw him on Storytellers or one of those types of shows recently and couldn't understand a word he said. Plus he's become way too political for my tastes.
Still, 34 years since Born to Run, and the dude and his band are still up there layin it down - you got to give him some credit! The whole thing makes me wonder where today's music is, if year after year our the biggest entertainment event showcases the bands we came up with over 30 years ago. Man, we sure had it good!
