That was so superb, thanks for posting it. I'm gonna share it with all my close music pals. Amazing seeing the room he recorded it in, because it is legendary. Fuck it was talked about as legendary before the record was ever released, that cassette and everyone that heard it was freaking out over it. Especially exciting and inspirational to me personally was seeing the machine he used, that Tascam, was the one I bought for myself as my first multitrack studio on one of the most important days of my life, when I took my first savings of US Postal Service money and went to music row in the big apple to equip myself at Sam Ash and Manny's. I loved that machine. Was so technically not proficient at first that I literally accidentally erased 100 or so good takes. I wore down that thing more than anyone ever did I'm certain. Got a big fix once but eventually it was so broke all over I held a ceremonial burial and threw it into the Atlantic Ocean.
I saw Springsteen 20-30 times during his great years which unfortunately for me ended with Nebraska. The title cut of that record I would put in my 5 best acoustic songs of all time or 5 best folk songs ever written. The thing about seeing Springsteen was, most of the times I saw him I went alone, it wasn't about a social event the same way most concerts are, it was about my relationship with him and his music. I did really like his Western Stars record from 2 years ago and the streaming show he did associated with it.
