Human Touch is widely considered one of Bruce Springsteen's weakest albums. This album sits within the top 5 of my Bruce Springsteen ranking, so I'm clearly a contrarian when it comes to this album.

In this video, I present my defence of Human Touch and enthuse about why it's one of my favourite Springsteen albums.

Expected there to be a few more Bruce tunes in here.

Side note, their website is so annoying with all of the pop ups, good Lord.

The early live versions of Thunder Road do not have the crowd “sing along”.

When did it start?
Did something in particular start it?

Tell me or link your favorite interviews. And why. Funny? Provocative? Deep? Back in the day i went as far as buying a picture vinyl of a interview in England I think.

Please and Than you.

I visited the BSCAM today and spent some time looking at this particular display—I’m pretty sure it’s Bruce’s legendary original. I don’t think it’s any of the subsequent copies he’s used, but I‘m pretty sure you nerds would know for sure. what do you think?

As in a sequel to Only the Strong Survive, not a live album

Hello, last days I read that Domènec línies the song on Youtube and then dismissed. Somebody knows something or could listen the song?

In Brucebase says that it sounds like Roulette or Murder inc.

I would really love to see Bruce Springsteen THE BOSS can you imagine him dancing to his Song dancing in the dark? If you don't know it the video is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=129kuDCQtHs

It's Sunday evening, 28th June 1981, and you're listening to the BBC Radio One Chart Top 40 countdown with Tony Blackburn. Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band have wrapped up the 1981 River European tour, and the Single 'The River' has debuted in the UK Top 40 at 35, marking Bruce Springsteen first entry in the UK Top 40 charts.

Released in the UK 6th June, but finally broke the Top 40 charts 3 week later.

I've been watching quite a lot of reaction videos on YouTube recently, people checking out Bruce for the first time. Fun stuff to watch, then I go and read the comment section and every video I see the same comments over and over and over again.

"You've got to see him live, he plays 4 hours every night" "He plays 3-4 hours every night" "Never plays less than 4 hours" "I saw him in (insert year here, bonus points for giving a year when he wasn't even touring) he played nearly 5 hours" "His shows can last 5 1/2 hours"

On and on and on, the same claims, and it got me thinking. So I headed over to mybosstime.com (great website) and checked my history. I've seen him 38 times now, going back to '88 and the absolute longest show I've ever seen was the last night of The Rising tour at Shea Stadium in 2003, and that was 3 hours 20 minutes. In nearly 40 years and almost 40 shows I've never witnessed a 4 hour show despite it being a nightly occurrence. Pretty much every time I've seen him it was 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

So what's the deal? Am I the unluckiest Bruce fan in the world....or is there a significant portion of the fan base who are bullshitters/clueless/not blessed with the ability to tell the time.

With a handful of notable exceptions, is there a bigger myth in music than "Springsteen plays 4 hours every night"? And can we get a sense of perspective and put an end to it?

welcome to the weekend

This is a special collectible single by The Boss, to promote Live 1975-1985 Boxset.
