Bruce Springsteen Band • Page 75

And #1 would be either Lonesome Day or Land of Hope of Dreams

 

Ohhh I’ll definitely participate but need a bit to think

Been on a big Bruce kick this week obviously. Currently listening to The Rising the way god/Brendan O’Brien intended: on shitty computer speakers (I am only partially kidding)

 

Went to the shitty little Walmart in our town of 5000 people in Mississippi with my dad and they didn’t have it so he drove to Tupelo (90 min round trip) and got two copies just in case. I’d just seen Bruce live with him like the year before so I was pretty aware of how big of a deal it was, although obviously still too young to fully fully appreciate. Extremely core memory regardless tho haha

 

I prefer the original version of Blood Brothers if only because of this incredible tribute their first show after Danny died:

 

90-minute drive with dad to get the new Bruce album. I love this for you.

 

1. The Rising
2. Land of Hope and Dreams
3. Youngstown
4. Long Walk Home
5. Moonlight Motel
6. Better Days
7. Living Proof
8. Lonesome Day
9. American Land
10. My Beautiful Reward

That’s probably my top 10 from 1990-present but I’m excluding anything that we know was written pre-1990. So nothing old from Tracks, no This Hard Land or If I Was the Priest etc.

 

Blood brothers

Ghost of tom joad

Jesus was an only son

Lonesome day

Waitin on a sunny day

Terry’s Song

Long walk Home

Wrecking Ball

I’ll See You in My Dreams

The Wall

 

Those are good lists. I can’t think of how The Wall goes offhand though.

 

I’ll See You In My Dreams is a great call
