Springsteen at the Inglewood Forum, in the wake of (what was it?) the release of Darkness on the Edge of Town, remains one of the best live concerts I've ever attended. In my personal concert-going history it ranks up there with Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic. Yeah, he eventually ran out of steam but "Born to Run", "The Wild The Innocent and the E Street Shuffle" and "Darkness on the Edge of Town" were on my turntable for years. It was Springsteen's twangy guitar playing that prompted me to abandon both my Strat and my Les Paul for a vintage Tele. It's only the advent of New Wave and Punk Rock several years later that finally displaced Springsteen as my go-to rock'n'roll.
