The performance is awe-inspiring, similar to the first time I saw them a few months after this show was taped. Way over 2 hours of a non-stop assault of swaggering, supremely confident musicians going for broke. It will exhaust you.

The remaster of the BTR cd is also very fine.
I, too, viewed this concert in its entirety, at full volume, and was blown away. To see the 25-year-old Springsteen and the original E Street Band "going for broke" as a bunch of unknowns is to understand why he became a superstar in the first place.

My newest acquisition is the Red Devil Dawn album from Crooked Fingers. Hard to describe. Sorta like Steve Earl covering Wilco...except completely different. Still evaluating, but favorable so far.

I took some time to revisit Interpol's Turn On the Bright Lights disc. I didn't really care for it the first time or two I heard it, but I'm beginning to see the error of my ways. But there still is a certain...sameness to these songs. At least to my ears. The opening untitled track and NYC are both awesome tracks, though.

Other spins included (but not limited to):
Deadwing - PT
Twin Cinema - New Pornographers
Open Season - British Sea Power
Kill the Moonlight - Spoon
Stevie Ray Vaughn compilation
Moondance - Van Morrison
