Magic is a great album. I really enjoyed Wrecking Ball too. High Hopes had some great moments, but it was basically a disjointed collection of unreleased material. Worth releasing to be sure, but not a cohesive album.Quote

The most underrated albums is "Magic."

Pretty much in agreement with what you said here but what about "The Rising"? Are you a fan of that album?

Far out, did not know Bruce did ‘Tenth Avenue Freeze Out’ on Broadway
no video, have to assume he is playing piano as well as singing live solo...
impressive.

(song doesn’t start until 2:50 minutes long intro........omg)
I am not used to watching Bruce S. rock shows.
Does anyone find it
uncomfortable
that he prowls the stage sweaty trying to pull attention
with his WIFE standing next to him to whole time?
No?
Just me?
LOL
I'm not a huge fan of Brendan O'Brien's production on his '00s albums...it's too bright and trebly. There's almost no low end and the snare is very tinny.Quote

The Rising is a great album, its just too long. But if you made it 50 minutes, its a phenomenal record. The Magic is a fantastic record. IMO stands with his absolute best. Horribly overlooked.Its a near perfect record.

The Broadway show was amazing. I went in November 2017 - got into town without a ticket, and with the help of complete strangers got a ticket to 2nd row, corner of stage, right where Bruce's piano was.

I know, I am sure I would catch Bruuuuuce fever if I ever saw him live, he’s a charismatic one, plus anyone who sings solo w/ piano
(like Prince last shows off Broadway)
2nd row Topi, pretty, pretty good.
I just have a little tease at Bruce LOL

Rising and Magic are good records. Of Bruce's later works, I also like Wrecking Ball because he takes musical risks and explores different colors/genres whether it is Irish-folk influences (Death to My Hometown), gospel (My City of Ruins), or even rap (Rocky Ground). (You may not like the end result) but I like the way Bruce keeps pushing himself.

Those opening riffs that Bruce plays on IM Going Down and the vibe of the performance is what gives me a thrill as a fan of his music. Not all performances are perfect be the singing or playing of the instruments in the end its just rock and roll and how it makes you feel.

I finally got around to starting Springsteen on Broadway last night...what an incredibly moving and funny performance.
I can't imagine how draining it must have been to summon the emotion to perform that complete show night after night. Just a towering achievement.
