Happy Birthday Boss (The 6-0)!

Posted on by

Bruce Springsteen, one of my heroes in this life, turns 60 years old today.  Not sure where the time goes, all I know is it goes a tad too fast for my liking. This is a simple & short post to send a hearty Happy Birthday out to the Boss.

“Brilliant Disguise” is probably my favorite tune, and I’ve always loved this particular version. I’ve had it since I first started downloading mp3′s. Someone out there can probably give date & location. I’m guessing somewhere between ’88-’90 – maybe at one of the Amnesty International gigs?

Happy 6-0 Boss! And many more….

    Time is a manmade invention, Pete. 60 years old seems like a heavy milestone, doesn’t it? The best part with Bruce is that he is still writing, playing and discovering music with the same spirit we all dig him for. That spirit is immaterial and timeless.

    Now excuse me while I go blast “Darkenss” at full volume and drink cheap wine while doing it.

    I first saw Bruce in 74 or 75 in a small club in Miami. It is nearly impossible to believe he is 60, for to do so admits that I too am getting older.
    I am with you on Brilliant Disguise. An incredible song. Saw the Tunnel of Love tour in Munich. Another milestone in my Bruce groupie phase.

    I would reckon that this live ‘Brilliant’ is from his show on 16th November 1990. A very early acoustic show – at the LA Shrine a charity gig – I have fantastic bootleg from the second night where he makes a very similar plea for silence, and same song structure/instrumentation.

    Thanks Brad.I have a boot from that second night too (Prodigal Son at the Shrine). I should’ve figured that one out myself!
