The Boss pays tribute to David Bowie

[darkwolf666]

Am I the only one that thinks the guitar is out on the intro? (runs and hides from all Boss fans)...

Opens up the whole debate about covers, should they be note for note replicas, or should the covering artist look to put their own stamp on it. I think in this case this was a heartfelt tribute from Bruce to someone who had recently passed away and has been accepted in this way.

Whether the guitar is out or not should be irrelevant and just accept and enjoy the sentiment..

Understand that a cover need not be note for note, but it should be in tune

Kevin Buell has been Bruce's long time friend and guitar technician for over 1000 shows and is seen catching Bruces guitars when he throws them to the back of stage at every concert.
He even travels personally just with Bruce's favorite Fender Telecaster on planes with the guitar sitting next to him.
I would imagine he would tunes his guitars to perfection, especially as they do a sound check before every show.

Ok, must be my ears then - my wife keeps telling me I am going deaf, she obviously means tone deaf too!

A few weeks ago someone linked to a website offering a free mp3 download of a Springsteen concert. It looks like the site has a lot of live concerts available for mp3 download (though most you need to pay for), and they have the concert with the Bowie tribute available.

Nice one, hope you enjoyed the show.
I hear rumours he is bringing the show to Europe this year

I hope so - I'd love to go again. Really top performance again yesterday, but he is always that good.

Was certainly worth the trip over and it was a really good venue. Everything has been perfect except the very cold weather and the heavy snow that is falling this morning. If I can get to the airport and the plane takes off today to get me home then it has been a great trip!

I was just looking at the youtube clips to see these and you beat me too it.

Another fitting tribute by Bruce, RIP Glen

The audio quality was bloody good in the circumstances on the one I shared, so I thought others might appreciate a listen.

Rebel rebel just after Bowie died. Take it Easy in Chicago just after Glenn Frey died. But not a sign of The Floral Dance in New Jersey last night.

And after the Bowie and Frey tributes - sadly third third in the same tour, an excellent version of Purple Rain.

Decent guitar solo in there too!

Anyone else starting to suspect Bruce is behind all these deaths so that he can play a different tribute every so often?

Nils Lofgren is one of the best guitarists on the planet.
Saw his solo concert at The De La Warr in October......absolutely gob smacking
