I don't have anything against the guy, but he has to rank up there as the most lauded performer that doesn't rustle my skirt.

I'd put him on par with Bob Seger and Tom Petty, but all my life 'regular guys' go full homo for him, like he's the return of Christ, resplendent in faded jeans.

I've heard this is good, but then I've heard that from the type of people who buy floor tickets to every concert in a 250-mile radius when he tours. Does this give outsiders insight, or is it for the already ardent fan?

I’m pretty much the same. I like him, I think he’s good, but I don’t worship him or anything like a lot of people seem to.

A lot of his music doesn’t do much for me.

First off IMO Tom Petty is/was head and shoulders above Bruce,that said I've seen Bruce a few times live and as far as showmanship goes I would agree with calling him The Boss(especially when he was younger and doing 4 hour shows).

This performance is for diehards but also for someone who wants to hear storytelling of things that shaped his life told with humor and passion.For instance he starts when he's 7 years old and how Elvis' first tv performance changed the world(including him) in an instant and goes on about his first guitar lessons and talks about his mother sending him into the bar to get his father etc.

Clapton and Radiohead for me. The most curiously-beloved that don't turn me on. Karma Police, I dig. Nothing from Clapton, though lol

I watched the 1st 30/40 minutes

My Hometown is a good song.. got a lil choked up.

He obviously has a big following around here. Always curious what it's like out of this area.

I thought this was terrific. I've never seen him in concert or been an ardent fan, but this makes me feel like perhaps I should've been. I appreciate the hype a lot more now.

Did he write all the dialogue in the show? Anyone know?
[Reply]

I just watched it and really enjoyed it. Most of the dialog is out of his autobiography- at least the stories are mostly the same. Bruce is a great writer and storyteller.

If you have time watch this performance of Light Of Day,personally I've been a fan since the 80's and once I saw him live totally understood why he was called The Boss.

I gotta admit, given my previous reservations, seeing Bruce jamming and Clarence wailing on Santa Claus is Comin' to Town is a holiday treat eclipsed only by Darlene Love on Letterman
