The bands swapped member freely all night, and played nearly continuously in one formation or another. And after four or five hours of raw, sweaty, alcohol-fueled straight up rock n roll, Brent Best called all the members of the band up onto the one-step stage riser, with barely any room between, for a balls-to-the-wall sweat-drenched and primal version of Born to Run that made the E Street Band's version a few weeks earlier seem pale. I found myself thinking "I'll bet Bruce wants this to be the way the song is heard".<br /><br />The strength of the songs and a committed performance make them work in many different forms. Kind of a different angle on the discussion we were having about "The Ghost Of Tom Joad".zombie rotten mcdonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601960953323752278noreply@blogger.com
