I assume that clamoring from hardcore fans finally got it released over here. They shouldn’t have bothered. Naturally, Bruce had to focus on the latest duo of albums, but Bruce’s legendary live persona just wasn’t enough to bring these songs to life on stage. At least the drums sound better. As for the other tracks, “Red Headed Woman” is a good slice of ribald humor. But the rearrangement of “Atlantic City” is juat awful. The song needs to be stark in order for it to work. The singing on “Darkness..” is absolutely HORRIBLE. I’d pick “Light of Day” as the best song, but the rant in the middle, I agree, was rather unnecessary.<br />Interestingly, Bruce’s image took a hit about this time. Not from the genuflecting critics, but from some fans – for ditching New Jersey in favor of Los Angeles, and for ditching the E Streeters in favor of these California session guys. Ironically, it would take a California earthquake to bring Bruce and Patti to their senses.<br /><br />trfesokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12631886869696528704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660808341284783109.post-24269359072485505282015-08-22T01:54:43.330+03:002015-08-22T01:54:43.330+03:00I just looked at that cover and it looks like he&#...I just looked at that cover and it looks like he's playing ventriloquist with a miniature version of himself.
