    Damn...

    I broke down and listened once to each song.

    Love the new/improved studios of American Skin and Tom Joad

    Really liked Harry's Place

    Down in the Hole is a lot like a cross between I'm on Fire and something Bruce has never done... lol -- does that make sense?

    I'm not a huge fan of twangy-voiced Bruce but I also know enough to know that everything translates better live when it comes to Bruce.

    This much is for sure -- the Boss reinvents himself yet again. Lotsa new tools used in this production. I'm sure it'll wear well on me like Wrecking Ball did...

    :)

    cant wait to hear it. Looking forward to the DVD also.

    great read about Springsteins---sorry-- Springsteens " jewish-ness".


    Was fascinated to read about how many of Clarences horns have been passed down to (his nephew)
    Jake Clemons , so if we ever hear any of the classics, it might have been the same horn that Clarence himself
    mightve played on before. Very cool.

    Not sure if anyone remembered the " Up Close " segments with Bruce and Ted Koppel. I uploaded the entire series, but this particular episode is from Friday , 8/02/02. Bruce actually reads some of " Harry's Place " to Ted from his " Rising " notebook.
    Here now 12 years later and it finally made the cut.

    yeah the Darkness set was awesome.

    That video series is pretty good. Very close and personal as well as a few acoustic songs played.

    It is like 8 parts or so , if you want to kill the time theyre all under my youtube account.

    I like it. I'm happy Morello saved the scratching for Tom Joad and didn't put it on others. I still think the scratching is more suitable for RATM and feel it's out of place on Tom Joad, but Bruce likes it.

    Stand out songs after first listen:

    Harry's Place
    Down in the Hole
    Heaven's Wall
    Frankie Fell In Love
    The Ghost of Tom Joad
    The Wall

    I prefer the original studio version of "American Skin" that was recorded during "The Rising" sessions. This version is still good, but I prefer the original version.

    2 thoughts about this song:

    1. Sounds kinda like John Mellencamp's Small Town.
    2. How do we know he didn't mean Just Like Fire Wood
