It Was 40 Years Ago Today...

"and the greatest live rock performer of all time."

Wow, that's *quite* a statement to make. Especially if you haven't seen all of the greats. I've seen Bruce and a bunch of others - Stones, Who, Santana, Deep Purple, and J. Geils Band among many, many others.

J. Geils is my personal nominee for greatest live act ever - Peter Wolf was an incredible front man and the band was super tight and just plain rockin' great fun!! And Peter was man enough to snag Faye Dunaway at the height of her popularity - pretty cool...

IMHO, Springsteen was not the best, not by a longshot...

The Future of RR? Not even 40 years ago.

Actually the world saw the future of rock and roll via Little Richard and Chuck Berry.
Springsteen tagged along.

Kb54, since the situation of the working class,veterans and
the needy has been on a steady decline since the 70's it is obvious he was/is of little to no importance .

"and the greatest live rock performer of all time."
That's funny
Guess you never saw Freddy Mercury.
End of story.
