Nothing too controversial here. Compared to the average, I rank Greetings a lot lower, The River a bit lower, and Tunnel and Magic a good bit higher.
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.

I was hoping for contempt, outrage, and/or snark. You need to brush up on your internet discourse.

The version of Born to Run from The Complete Album Collection sounds fantastic. Backstreets is a real standout. It does sound pretty damned compressed, which I normally don't like, but for whatever reason this LP sounds great.

Ha, ha. I was thinking something very similar while watching them on SNL last night. Also, Bruce had a bit of a Strummer appearance vibe going last night.

Soozie Tyrell missed last night and she plays acoustic like half the time so there were even less than normal last night.

I also noticed Garry Tallent wasn't there. COVID restrictions?

He has apparently been very strict about his isolation and didn't want to have to go along with SNL's protocols (I think it involves isolating in NYC for a week or so) for a two song performance.
