Great Show
I thought the show was excellent. My favorite was the opener. The Way It Is was done flawlessly and the harmonies blew me away. I really hope I can get this on a CD somehow to really turn it up and jam in my truck.
Living in Alabama all my life(which is not the cultural mecca of music), it’s hard for the average person to know when an artist has peaked. I know that most people on this board are not your average fan, but in the big scheme of things, that is how that question has to be answered. The average fan knows The Way It Is, Mandolin Rain, etc, and bought the Greatest Radio Hits cd and were happy with Bruce’s carear, most not knowing that their was much better music to be heard after that release. Then Halcyon Days came along and brought a new group of fans to the Bruce family with the number one “Gonna Be Some Changes Made”. Now that the R&B album will be “previwed” on CMT that should open another chapter to new and old Bruce fans alike. I guess what I am saying is that “peaking” for an artist such as Bruce, (one that dosen’t really get the exposure that is needed) comes at different times. People’s tastes change and Bruce’s music changes bringing different fans aboard. I personally can not get enough of Hot House Ball. That in my opinion is his best work. Do I feel that he peaked at that time? Not really. I haven’t heard the R&B album yet.
I hope this made since. I know what I wanted to say but not sure if it came out in a sensible way.
Putting CMT show on Torrent thread
It has been many moons since I have been to this great site. It looks great and it is great to see the Bruce fire is still lit and growing stronger. I pulled out the Gadsden Alabama show tonight on my way home and it put me back in Bruce mode. I had to take a few steps back from Bruce mode as my wife got really tired of Halcyon Days and the live show. But I feel rejuvenated and I am ready for more Bruciness.
All that being said, I was wondering if anyone was planning to Tivo or record the CMT show tonight and put it up for download. I have the John Mayer and Brad Paisley show but it took me almost a year to find it. I would love to get it down on a CD and spread Bruce to the masses here in Alabama. I work for Honda Manufacturing of Alabama and have contact with several hunderd people a day and have been spreading Bruce’s newer stuff around to all that will listen. This will only add to my Bruce for Everyone campaign that I started after I got my Gadsden show. Thanks in advance for any help that is given and it’s great to be back.
