I'm truly saddened. The Boss never sounded as good without the E Street Band and most of all without the Big Man...
I bet he could get a lot of hash in that pipe!

You're right about stadia - which are where I've seen Springsteen the most, so I guess that colours my judgement.
And of course he was brilliant as one of the Three Most Imporatnt People in the World...
