This is the cd version of the MTV Plugged show Bruce did back in 1992 with the band he assembled to tour with him on his Human Touch/Lucky Town tour. Unfortunately, the shows from this tour are always compared to those with the E Street Band and they, of course, fall short. That being said, there are some good performances on this disk. Bruce knew what were the best songs from those two disks were and they appear here. The performances of "Lucky Town", "Living Proof", "I Wish I Were Blind" & "Better Days" are all solid and among his older songs "Atlantic City" stands out. The performance of "Light Of Day" has a tremendous amount of energy and there is some excellent guitar interplay on it. All in all, it's not the pinnacle of Bruce's career, but still fun to listen to.

I've been listening to Bruce for 25 years an enjoy just about all of his music. It is CD's like this that keep me listening. It doesn't matter if you've heard it before--he always delivers a different slant. How many Thunder Road versions are out there? This one is beautiful. Far and away the best of the slow songs here is "I Wish I Were Blind".

At first I thought it was... too plugged, too live, if such a thing exists. It just had me out of breath, no pauses between songs, it seemed too hurried up. But after repeated listenings I have realized what a great cd this is. A true gem. I always thougt Lucky Town and Human Touch were truly under-rated, and here I have proof. His renditions of these two songs, plus Better Days, Man's Job, My Beautiful Reward, and one of my favorites, If I Should Fall Behind, are even better than the original recordings! And of course, a great, strong yet restrained version of Thunder Road -- this is a keeper for Springsteen's fans, or for those who only own the Greatest Hits!

This is clearly a good show. Not one of Bruce Springsteen's epic, 'for the ages,' legendary marathon stands...just live music. But Bruce's new band proves how powerful the material from the 'Lucky Town' album can be. "Living Proof," "Lucky Town," & "If I Should Fall Behind" are wonderful highlights, and Bruce does 2 rare songs - "Red Headed Woman" & "Light of Day."

When I first bought this CD I bought it for one song...."If I Should Fall Behind". After listening to the CD a few times the rest of the songs really started growing on me, especially "I Wish I Were Blind" and most of all, "Living Proof". Springsteen performs those two songs with more energy and conviction than I've heard in a long, long time. In my opinion, "Living Proof" is one of the best songs ever written by the Boss....not just for the great music, but for the story that goes with it. This is a "must have" for anyone who claims to be a Springsteen fan. Buy it!! You won't be dissapointed.
