keefriff99I saw The E Street band 3 times between 2002 and 2008, but sadly they never played Jungleland.Quote

keefriff99Oh damn, they played JUNGLELAND?? I missed it by one night!Quote

I attended the show last night in Philadelphia. Unbelievable.
That's the only drawback of a band that varies their setlists night to night so frequently...sometimes you miss the songs you'd kill to hear.
First time I ever heard it; the same for Atlantic City. I've never heard Darkness. I wish I had devoted more resources to following Bruce around. Mick has always come first.
The first and only time I got to see it was in 2012 at Foxboro Stadium...it was the first time playing the song in America since Clarence had died. Jake did a great job on the solo but I wish I'd seen it just once with Clarence.

Seems as though quite a few of the old guard are currently working on their memoirs:
ROBBIE ROBERTSON
PAUL SIMON
ART GARFUNKEL
STEPHEN STILLS
.....and no doubt, many others.
Sadly, no news of Dylan's second Chronicles however.

I truly hope David Bowie wrote his memoirs down for someone to publish after he died.

Speaking for myself, I have enjoyed every Stones show I've ever been to. Do I wish they would ask me to draw up the setlist? Sure, but I value every time I've had the pleasure and good fortune to see them (and Bruce, too).

To me, there's still way too much posing and pausing from Keith and Ronnie. It really bothers me to see Keith just let go of his guitar and walk around basking in the crowd adulation while the song goes dead. To me, that's just pure negligence.Quote

Bruce is excellent, but his band is a bit anonymous. The Stones has a ridiculously distinct sound where we hear what everybody plays - all the time.
The E-street band may change the setlist all the time, but we rarely hear the nuances in what they're playing. It's a solid beat, keyboards and guitars way down in the mix.
I like both bands, but for different reasons. They can't really be compared, though. They're too different.

I want his right hand playing relentless rhythm. I know those days are LONG gone and it's pointless to complain at this point, but it still irritates me when I watch live vids and see him spend more time being Keith instead of playing like Keith.

Bruce's right arm/hand is 95 percent posing as well, as long as nobody hears that rhythm guitar. It's weird, because his playing is usually quite good.
I guess they both have their reasons for not really playing all the time (Bruce because of the music and the band's sound – Keith because of arthritis).
However, if Keith plays something, you can really hear it
That's a PERFECT description of Keith. I felt slightly embarrassed watching him play the Sympathy solo recently...he just plays a few nondescript notes and mugs for the crowd like he's just ripped off the most amazing lead run ever.Quote

About Bruce, the main raison is that he sings all the songs, Keith is in another world, he thinks doing something amazing each time he hits a string. It's the reason why I've stopped to watch them in concert.
