Hendrix or Van Halen are consistently ranked as the greatest guitarists due to technical ability, but Springsteen has written some of the greatest songs of the 20th century on guitar. Why doesn’t he get his due flowers?

Reading the “E street shuffle” blog when I become curious about a song is one of my absolute favorite things to do in the Bruce world. The collection of work Ken has put together over the years is astounding; he is a first-ballot Hall of famer in the Bruce fan hall of fame that exists in my head. I would love to read blog posts for other artists like this, does anyone know of others as well done as the e street shuffle for artists like Dylan, Cohen, Beatles, Bowie, etc? Thank you and enjoy your fall weekend!

Garry f’n rips deep during Tom’s solo on the Philly freedom cut.

In short im asking help from people who know how to restore songs

here is the best quality of the song online: https://archive.org/details/bruce-springsteen-main-point-pa-1975-wmmr/10.+New+York+City+Serenade.flac

this is my attempt of restoring it with Audacity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aa8Dh7CWqko

PROBLEMS:

1. There is a sound in the backround of the song I dont know what's the name of it but I would guess this is because it's a radio recording
2. The audio falls off every few minutes

BACKSTORY:
In Feb 1975 Springsteen had a live show in Main Point where he performed the song New York Serenade.
For me this is the greatest live performance of his.
I tried restoring it with no previous experience of audio engineering and I dont think it's quite perfect so if there is anyone who can help me in any way I would appreciate it very much.

[PLEASE NO AI]

Seems like Bruce ripped off his own song a bit here - the song Mary Mary on American Beauty essentially lifts the melody from We Take Care of Our Own in the string part. Anyone know if this was intentional?

If he does a third run, what song would fit perfectly into the setlist? For me it’s The River.

Boss delivers stirring This Is Happening Now speech to cheers …

Hi all! I always read that Bruce is a good guitarist whose main skill is to create solos that fit well into songs even if not particularly complex. I'm not into music theory, so I wanted to ask: are there some solos that are a little bit more complicated?

I came across the video of American Beauty while on YouTube. Excellent song! Bruce sings with a twang I’ve never heard him sing and I like it. Anyone else like it?

Probably the best 58 minutes of live music in the past 30 years

New post finally up! I have to be honest, while I will continue to set specific posting dates, from here out they will be flexible. I have ADHD and Autism and have to accept that a strict schedule just doesn't work for me.

Anyways, enjoy!

its slow news day here, but surprised to hear Boom Boom Boom played over the stadium PA, must be a spanish Boss fan in charge tonight :)

If you've never heard Racing in the Street from the Born in the USA tour that had the spoken intro & spoken outro ( early 84 tour didn't have it, debuted in Los Angeles October 84 ) then it's time to listen now. For me a,beautiful rendition of a beautiful song, never performed this way on any other tour.

I recall Springsteen saying that they wish they had a multi track recording of it but it doesn't exist in that format. Not sure why they can't redo tracks like this when all shows now are multi tracked?

I have been sitting on this documentary for about 2 years now. It was originally uploaded for my channel members only, but recently i sat down to edit it into a more accessible and dramatic story. It's a simple docu, but I wanted to release it for you guys. I don't make any profits from it, so I hope you will enjoy it. Thanks to all of the support you gave for all of my projects btw. I hope you'd like to see more in the future.

Possibly Bruce’s best color palette for an album, Western Stars features hues of dark blues and browns, reflecting the western landscape, open sky and traditional cowboy clothing. The album does a fantastic job at capturing traditional Hollywood westerns depictions, as well as modern western living in the music and art work.

Through discussions on previous Bruce album art post, Western Stars has been frequently mentioned as being one of Bruce’s best album covers, and mentioned as being his best album in the 2010s. What are your thoughts about the album and the art direction?

They listen to Glory Days after every win and he was asked why. Sorry to link to Meta wouldn’t let me post a video and couldn’t find another link. Worth a watch.
