Jim Digs Bruce

[ManNamedTruth]

I agree with what he says about Dylan, I've seen him twice and he barely looked or acknowledged the crowd both times. He just played his keyboard that was turned sideways not facing the crowd and sang. I've only seen Neil once with CSNY back in '06 and it was a good experience.

Great pix Eric, wow does Jim look happy.  Bet it was one of his musical highlights.  Gotta find a video of this.

from Rolling Stone:

Unpredictably, the night's biggest standing ovation followed Jim James and Tom Morello joining forces for an astonishingly spectral, heavy-rock twist on "The Ghost of Tom Joad." James looked like David Crosby and sounded like the cosmos, while Tom Morello's epic soloing evoked the ghost of David Gilmour before spiraling into his trademark guitar-turntablism acrobatics. The crowd's reaction was only dwarfed by Springsteen himself exclaiming "Now gimme that damn guitar!"

Maybe unpredictable to them, but I told friends all along this would be the best performance of the night. So glad Jim got to do this one and with TM instead of the earlier rumored; Hungry Heart. Great song to show his talents IMO.   

Really looking forward to a (hopefully) Jim/Bruce colab sometime in the near future. 

Thanks for posting this CC.
