"Born to Run" by Bruce Springsteen -- who really enjoys this overproduced crappy glop?

Jazz guys can live pretty long these days.

Listening to this album again and I'm struck as always by how much it's basically two distinct EPs with identical structures/sequencing. I've never met another album that gives me such a vivid sense of "End of side one, now get up and turn the record over" even when I'm listening to it on my phone.

I heard the title track in a shopping centre a couple of weeks ago.

it sure beats most of the crap of today!

The key to this song is to see it performed live.

Seriously, it is hard not to be a Springsteen fan after seeing him perform.

Is this the only Springsteen recording with wah-wah guitar on it?

I like it okay, but not as much as his first album, his fourth one, and probably a couple others by him. (also not as much as many, many john cougar mellencamp, bob seger, thin lizzy, boomtown rats, and iron city houserockers albums.) (it is probably better than *bat out of hell* and *slippery when wet,* though.)

For the “Jungleland” instrumental section before “in the parking lot” it often seems like he shouts “sax!” and then proceeds to play a guitar solo.

Unless Nils plays it

I think Springsteen plays all the guitars on that album.

Actually I was talking about live versions, sorry

Hammersmith Odeon ‘75 he calls for that solo by saying “Something!” a few times.
