Me and my dw are humming / singing this song on a daily basis. A favourite from this wonderful album.

WHAT A SoNG! This one touched me immediately in my soul. I just keep it on repeat. And again it spins... The lines above make me think about certain politicans in a many countries. But how jubilant the wrinting and the melody rises above actual circumstances. Such a joy to listen! Funny enough, many reviewers seem to like this song less...

Wonderful, wonderful piece, also nicely filmed with different angles and decent lightening. As pointet out before: chilling moment with the Nebraska guitar (and 'breaking' (?) voice as on the record). Difficult to wait until friday..

Just today my daugher asked me, what I will do, when one day Bruce will be gone... obviously, I said, I'm so happy what I (we) had already, the shows, the common feeling, the soundtrack of our lifes... So, also having lost my mum 24 years ago by cancer, my father almost 2 years ago of age, I feel very much your loss. We are mortal, all of us. To quote Bruce on the '16 River tour, (we just have) "to try to do something good", whenever we have the possibility. Wish you both all strenght and faith in these hard times.

Which ones from Live 75-85 are missing? I lost control...

Very nice layout, thank you!!

Neil Young has 'a letter home', in which I just love so much the first (cover) song, called 'changes'. Now, 'letter to you' makes me so, so excited! I hope, it will change a lot of peoples mind to happyness - at least to us, the quite loyal Bruce fans!

Wekl, I just sent the link to my dw, with some hearts attached!

I signed the banner at the Munich 2003 show. It was for Daniel. I rarely do remember the full story behind it but... It was handed over to family members after the tour... very touching... Was there only one banner making its round?

Exactly, what I think about this song - just epic sentiments, not a too deep scatching in the surface. I enyoyed it live and do it from time to time on the London Calling DVD (you still can skip it and move directly to the great performace of No Surrender, if so...)

Welcome - not bad , 2x Bruce, 1978, acquaintance of Steve...

...and to witness this music 4 times in the SanSiro in Milano for a Bruce Show - what can I ask for more... I just feel a lot of happyness - and a little bit of sadness about time is passing by...

My very first LP I bought some 45 years ago was the soundtrack to "C'era una volta il west". Thank you Ennio Morricone for all the joy and sentiment you brought in my musical and - together with Segio Leone - movie life. Rest in peace.

Just change the topic title to july :-). Epic show!

Marnix opened another thread, which links Nugs to Philadelphia, 25.09.1999 - if it is this one, it is really about epic songs!
