Watched the Springsteen A Letter To You thing the other night.

A few things stood out.

What great players The E Street Band are.

They always were but they have honed their craft to perfection which IMHO has led to them to become self derivative and the worlds best cover band of themselves.

The first four tracks could have all been one song. Formulaic.

Then they did a couple of tunes that Bruce had written 50 years ago but never recorded and they were awesome.

It was glaringly obvious that Bruce’s lyrics have a profound effect and are the primary influence on their style

His pre Born in The USA word salads painted rich vivid pictures and impart an energy that his later works lack in spades.

Still, talented bunch of guys and nice to see them still kicking it and that they have not lost the passion.
