| GREAT MUSIC - SO POORLY RECORDED... PS AGREE with the disappointment of Bruce S./ Born To Run | |
| GREAT MUSIC - SO POORLY RECORDED... I'm just saying a GREAT RECORDING is a great recording - nothing in comparison to listening live (examples like BLUE: JONI MITCHELL, TAKE FIVE: DAVE BRUBECK). EXCEPTION to THE BAND - when I heard them live, I would have sworn they were reading the... |
