I'll take the 65-70 year old Stones back thank you.

Originally Posted By dshyates vb, I don't care for Bruce either. I don't find him annoying like some other acts. But I am very disinterested in what he does. But I do lik Manfred Man's version of Blinded by the Light. I think his is actually very comparable to Bob Dylan. Their stuff is better when real musicians do it.

He was the right performer for the demographic, the show was tight, the song choices were great, and he was charismatic. I was somewhat surprised but only minorly disappointed that he didn't kiss a boy during the show.
