My OG "The Wild, The Innocent" beats anything later, even "Darkness".
@tomic601 The bass on "Racing in the Streets" sounds better during downshifts.
I saw Bruce live on every tour from Darkness thru Tunnel of Love and then lost interest. A later solo show highlighting Nebraska & Ghost of Tom Joad was surprisingly good. He played some piano on that tour for the first time publicly, although he admitted that he was "a beginner"; it's all relative I guess.
