bruce's life, disc 3

This one covers the period from the v.end of the BitUSA tour through the beginning of the Tunnel of Love tour. Lots of low-fi star-studdedness on this disc ... among the folks making appearances are Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Huey Lewis, Bob Geldof, Jon Bon Jovi, U2, Paul Simon, Billy Joel, and, in a segment recorded at a 1988 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame dinner, the Beach Boys, Mary Wilson of the Supremes, the Drifters, Ben E. King, Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan, George and Ringo, and a zillion other stars. Most of it is inconsequential, although it's fun to see Bruce sharing a mic with Jagger during "Satisfaction." Best stuff on this disc is three songs from the v.first Bridge benefit, "Dancing in the Dark," "Glory Days," and "Hungry Heart." Obscurities include Bruce attending a play put on by out-of-work Freehold workers, and Bruce stopping by a wedding party on his motorcycle. Outside of the Bridge stuff, nothing here is essential.
