Having just watched and am watching the PBS concert of The Boss I have to say that, taken on its own terms, is quite good.

By that I mean that as a TV program it is wonderful. Probably as a live performance even better---they always are.

That said, I add that it is still a "concert" where Pete Seeger involved the audience and Springsteen performs.   That, to me, is the difference.

I add that his piece about the US Government and New Orleans was right of a Pete Seeger presentation.

So-to sum up--great Television, great performance, great production values. Involvement for an audience and hopefully to carry out a message and a smile and participate ala Pete---No.

But Springsteen fans--as I noted in an earlier post--are just delighted at whatever he does. I guess we all have our partialities---me included.

Thats honesty
