Jackson Browne, T Bone Burnett, Elvis Costello,J.D.Souther, backing singers!!: Bonnie Raitt,Jennifer Warnes,K.D.Lang.Tom Waits, Steven Soles. etc etc!

And it was his riffs opening and sustaining the overall sound on the 'Springsteen' sound AND the framework here, with the spot on chordal rythym of Roy Orbison . So not Just a singer is my point!

    Burton is one of the great guitar studs of all time, but Bruce did a fine job in this duel considering he is not known for great solos. This is one of the great rock n ' roll moments of the 80's along with Carl Perkins Rockabilly Session masterpiece. A must-see for any fan of early rock that equals the greatness of this concert.

Great soul and emotion from Bruce, but the playing of Burton is a thing of great beauty. Seeing a smiling Tom Waits eating it all up and hammering on the piano is the cherry.

    Shame on the producer for putting Bruce in that position. No one on that stage could keep up with Burton. Burton was the definition of taste and playing what needed to be played. Never needed to show off. I'm sure he held back out of respect. Bruce didn't embarrass himself, he just went against one of the greatest. So glad this was recorded

    Obviously the range of what JB can do is much wider than what Bruce can do on the guitar, but they're both great in their own right. Burton is a pioneer and has got some smokin' licks. Springsteen's soul comes out through his guitar. That is a matter of opinion, but I love both of them for different reasons!!!!! Not two players that should ever be pitted against eachother. They were playing TOGETHER.

    Cut Bruce some slack. His guitar playing is only his third-strongest talent after his songwriting and singing, yet he still rated a place alongside Burton and the other great guitarists in this show. Sure, he got his ears chewed off by Burton, but he could have returned the favor in spades if it were a sing-off, and no matter which side you're on it was an extraordinary performance by all of them.
