Reminiscing the 'Born' tours of '85 4 hour long gigs. Wembley on A.I.D... July 4th of course,(no prizes for his opening song) Leeds and 2 consecutive nights in Newcastle, absolutely exhausting but pure exhileration ! We hung on every available morsels of video clips night after night after night... ha, how technology has changed. Next, Wembley Arena in the period of Bruce with a new band, E Street sadly greatly missed and finally May 2008 at The Emirates...over a quarter of a century of pure magic.<br />Hats off to Danny and the big man Clarence.... and I bow to the Boss man himself. BRUUUCE!<br /><br />PS. Thanks for Ghost of Song by the way...love love love *****Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18084503498126096089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703706690625306888.post-32525677702957146692012-02-05T12:01:18.881+00:002012-02-05T12:01:18.881+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18084503498126096089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703706690625306888.post-1367239716327060242012-02-05T11:33:38.064+00:002012-02-05T11:33:38.064+00:00Maybe it was 'With Every Wish'... and yup,...Maybe it was 'With Every Wish'... and yup, I guess the intention of my post was to highlight that 'brotherhood' vibe.

But I think maybe there was a catfish song on Human Touch, currently residing in my boxes of crap CD's in the basement. Can't be bothered to 'fish' it out! Pretty sure it's still down there, not been used for a skeet target... May the Boss forgive me!<br />PS: I don't know if you did it intentionally, but both videos; lyrics apropos and poignant bearing in mind Danny and the Big Man's passing.

Agree about the 'two beermats'; raucous and rambling; though one or two moments... what's that song about catfish on the end of his line? I liked that one...Hissyfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06865300919319235353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703706690625306888.post-18700736834866369782012-02-05T08:52:03.561+00:002012-02-05T08:52:03.561+00:00That's Chuck Plotkin yacking in the "Bloo...That's Chuck Plotkin yacking in the "Blood Brothers" documentary, made in 1996, reuniting the band 8 years after 'Tunnel', to record the extra tracks for the greatest hit LP. It was on TV years ago, I was still pissed with Bruce, releasing 2 beer coasters after he went 'Hollywood', but the band seemed to hold no grudge... lots of love in the studio while recording the 4 tracks. I recall being impressed at how graceful and diplomatic Bruce was, allowing the boys (and Yoko) full input into selecting songs for the album and getting the mixes on the new songs just right. Defending Chuck, in the context of the film, everyone was so thrilled to be together again, there was a lot of adoration going on, and I think anyone would be babbling incoherently in the company of that bunch. BTW: Ernie Fritz was the bio director. Amazon selling DVD for $3.95, think I'll add to my shopping cart!<br /><br />PS: I partially retract my harsh remarks about Lucky Town. It had "If I Fall Behind" on it, one of my "immortal wounds"...<br /><br />"The hardness of this world slowly grinds your dreams away, Making a fool's joke out of the promises we make, And what once seemed back and white turns to so many shades of grey."<br />"But the stars are burning bright like some mystery uncovered, I'll keep moving through the dark with you in my heart, My blood brother."Tim Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01089890504560756715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703706690625306888.post-78485949036454222872012-02-04T20:19:11.607+00:002012-02-04T20:19:11.607+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Hissyfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06865300919319235353noreply@blogger.com
