The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Sorry but Springsteen doesn't come anywhere close to doing stuff like Blood, Spin the Black Circle, Lukin, DTE, Comatose, Habit, etc.
I love Bruce but ask him to sing Blood night after night on an E Street tour. He'd be mute by now.
True but he has his far share of vocally taxing screamers, tours a heck of a lot more than PJ, is about 20 years older, and still sounds better. I think it's less to do with the fact that EV sings songs like DTE and Habit and more to do with the fact that he smokes 50 packs of cigs a day.
I may be in the minority here but I actually don't mind how songs like Blood, Habit or DTE sound these days. They don't compare to how they used to sound, but he can still pull off the gruff type of singing IMO. It's the 'clean' songs - Release, Black, Given to Fly - where he sounds breathy and obvious that the power of his voice has gone. But honestly, he still gives 100% on every song despite his voice so good on him.

I wish Eddie would just sing the right words in the verse about his pants, he always says the dumbest things and when he doesn't it sounds like gibberish anyways.
I dunno why that became the cheeky improv section of this song.

One of my favorites to play on guitar. Amazing music video and all around great tune. I love when Jeff's bass line comes in hearing it live. Too bad its ruined live now with the "oh woah oh oh, oh woah oh oh"
This. To a degree I can deal with Ed's recent nonsense but removing the "Admire me..." verse in favor of the whoah whoah whoah is border-line unforgivable.

The 'moment' for this song was 1998-2004... but oh, what a moment it was!

I don't know, I'd say the 'moment' lasted until 2006. There are some ferocious versions that year where Ed's vocals are still totally on point. Mostly disappointing post-'06.
I always Lisbon night 1 to be a particularly great version from 2006.
