Found enough free time over the weekend to watch the whole of the DVD of Springsteen & the E Street Band Live in Hyde Park on our new Samsung smart tv. Enjoying the concert softened the pain of having to part with our perfectly good old-fashioned telly on account of the demands of Starhub's new set-top box. Actually I find the 32 inch screen way too big but it seems it's regarded as relatively small by current standards. When was it that the decision was made to allow the goggle box to utterly dominate people's living rooms? We actually couldn't find a smaller model.
Anyway, the Springsteen concert was big by any standards so it deserved to dominate our little room. Loved the sense of celebration about it - a celebration of music rather than just the band itself. I'd never noticed just how much Nils Lofgrin adds to the textures of the songs through his playing. His solo on Youngstown was phenomenal, and the fact that he's literally spinning round by the end went beyond impressive. In fact, it was difficult to sit still watching the concert: The E Street Band in performance is a moving experience in more ways than one.
