The Avenger Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 49 minutes ago, muppy said: Bruce Springsteen was HUGE in Phoenix AZ right from the start of their touring career. I lived there from 1980 - 1986 and saw him play a show at a concert venue when they lost power. Literally in the middle of the concert the place went dark. It takes seemingly forever for they to get the power back on. Then a spotlight comes on in the dark, pans to the stage and it's Bruce with a push broom just goofballing LOL...and even with the power delay, he played over a 4 hour show He stated at that concert how Phoenix was so supportive of he and the band how appreciative he was. And he played his ass off. THAT'S why he is THE BOSS. -My wife got my into Springsteen by taking me to his shows. You go to see him and you leave saying to yourself, "man - that was a great show - he was really on tonight - you could feel it - we jut saw something special". And then every time you see him, he does the same thing - the guy in playing a great show EVERY night. I didn't like or dislike Bruce before seeing him, but after seeing him live a bunch of times I'm a fan - what a performer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I first saw him in 1980 in Rochester during The River tour...seen him several times since, the last in 2016. He's about to announce his 2023 N. American tour dates any day now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOOM YEP not surprised mate I lived it in PHX. I saw him again in Denver for the Born in the USA tour. But by then he was massively popular. Not the same vibe. Back then You could buy tickets and not need mortgage your house to see a show lol Seeing he live was the Ticket. My roommate in college 🙂 she came home and played the album with Badlands on repeat in our room she singng away with the lyric ...we kind of got sick of it LOL. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muppy Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 (edited) listen to her sweet voice in the intro she sounds so young here. what a lovely song. edit: one of my fav lyrics ever...m If you're driving into town With a dark cloud above you Dial in the number Who's bound to love you Oh honey you turn me on I'm a radio I'm a country station I'm a little bit corny I'm a wildwood flower Waving for you Broadcasting tower Waving for you And I'm sending you out This signal here I hope you can pick it up Loud and clear I know you don't like weak women You get bored so quick And you don't like strong women 'Cause they're hip to your tricks It's been dirty for dirty Down the line But you know I come when you whistle When you're loving and kind But if you've got too many doubts If there's no good reception for me Then tune me out, 'cause honey Who needs the static It hurts the head And you wind up cracking And the day goes dismal From "Breakfast Barney" To the sign-off prayer What a sorry face you get to wear I'm going to tell you again now If you're still listening there If you're driving into town With a dark cloud above you Dial in the number Who's bound to love you If you're lying on the beach With the transistor going Kick off the sandflies honey The love's still flowing If your head says forget it But your heart's still smoking Call me at the station The lines are open @--}--}-------------------- Edited June 11 by muppy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt obscuring my vision wasn't a great view I wanted to see her and the video better. I did see a gold glitter lame tank top drinking beer in a blue pickup. I think shes a hottie basically. She reminds me of her............who knew Katey Sagal was not only a great actress but a back up singer for Bette Midler and a bonafide rocker chick.

DrW Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 To celebrate Friday Happy Hour, a drinking song... That was the best live clip I could find, recorded 30 years after the original studio recording. The audio quality is not very good. Thus, here is the original... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
