Damnit, I was just about to post a "shambolicly wonderful" version of the Mats playing "Born In The USA". Guess I'll just have to enjoy it all by my lonesome.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

That is such a textbook example of album filler. Three fantastic songs and a whole bunch of dross to justify an album.

Just seen Matey's post about someone posting a Bruce song, I posted it before reading the thread.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑28 Sep 2021, 2:25pmThat is such a textbook example of album filler.

Tempted to put Bowie’s vastly superior “Hard To Be a Saint In the City,” but the original isn’t that bad.
