Springsteen and the band played their final show on their massive two-year, two-album tour on May 18, and the Boss let each of his players have a final solo moment in the spotlight. It's easy to forget Nils Lofgren is one of the world's great guitarists, but he reminded us on May 18.
I couldn't agree more. Most of his material ended up being my favorites.
Im not sure what it is, but they can't keep the good talent. Although I'll take Cooley against a lot of folks out there today. Tucker and Isbell were excellent.
DIdn't realized at the time that someone had the foresight to run these songs together. Murder Inc. kick in about 5:30 if you dond't want to watch Nils again (but why not??). This is the best version of Murder Inc. I have ever heard, and there's a reason they didn't play it when Van Zandt wasn't with the band.
