    My introduction to Springsteen's music was through my parents with "The River" and "Born In The USA". Seems like they were always playing one of those cassettes in the car for awhile in my youth. 

    I plan on revisiting Springsteen's music in the near future. I have "BitUSA", "Nebraska", "Born To Run" "The Seeger Sessions" and an Anthology mix. "The River" will definitely be the next one I grab, then go from there. He's an excellent songwriter/storyteller. He also just seems like an all around good dude. I might pick up some of his live stuff from 1980 first. Anybody have any River Tour show suggestions?

    Do you mean from 81 or from the River Tour in 16?
    81 - I forgot that he'd done a recent tour featuring those songs.

    I think I'm gonna go with the Nassau Coliseum show from December 29, 1980. I love "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out" - :)

    Definitely a classic!  Enjoy!  I spent last evening spinning the Hammersmith show, his first in Europe.  That dude was on fire.
