Absolutely worth viewing on PBS:
Bruce Springsteen -- Seeger Sessions: Live From ST. Luke�s Church In London.

Performance, vibe, musicianship and sound, all great.

I'm not a huuuuuge fan, but Springsteen is untouchable. He channels
something very powerful.

I like about 5 songs by him. Secret Garden is my favorite. But live he doesn't
do it for me. I just saw him on a late night show and I was pretty bored.
To me it's just a bunch of strumming. Back to my Spyro Gyra and ZZTop.

I haven�t been a huge fan myself. I was an early fan of Child (later renamed
Steel Mill). Growing up in NJ and a member of several NJ shore bands myself,
I was around during the early days and sat in on a few early rehearsals in
the chicken coops in Freehold NJ. One of my bands warmed up for Bruce at
the Caf� Wah in Greenwich Village around 1970.
Most of my memories of that period are somewhat blurred by the many inappropriate
activities of the time, but I do remember music being fun.

The new record and the PBS concert are not typical Springsteen. This music
(The Seeger Sessions) is a mix of folk, folk-rock, Cajun/Zydeco, New Orleans
Jazz, Gospel, etc. This music touched me on many levels. I hope to see it
live.

I don't think one need be a fan to be in awe of his gift, and his band. I'm
not a fan at all, but I cannot but be blown away by the power of the whole
thing.

I don't think personal taste is always of much use in recognizing genius.
Taste is taste, but some things transcend taste.
