Nils Lofgren
« on: August 03, 2012, 01:53:57 PM »
Recently went and saw Bruce and the E Street Band live in concert on this Wrecking Ball tour, just wondered if anyone else has been?

Now don't worry, Bruce is still second in my all time favourites ;D

But another man who shone on stage was Nils Lofgren, being a fan of Mark's means you have to appreciate amazing guitar players and Nils is certainly one.

I understand that he band with DS back in Wembley in '85 on the BIA tour so Mark is also clearly a big fan :)

I forgot to say Hi, so Hi and very welcome around at AMIT from my side! I have the feeling we will have a new and very active and enthusiastic new member here, which is great! I read you're only 17, so the next generation of MK fans keeps growing! Where are you from if you don't mind to tell?

Nils Lofgren played at least in two concerts in 1985, I cant remember besides the Wembley July 10th famous concert in which other he played, but during that tour it was very common that they share the stage with many artists, like Paul Brady, Eric Clapton, Hank Marvin, Sting, T-Bone Burnette, Pete Townshend, Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, Bradford Marsalis and a lot of more that I cant remember...

Check this for some of them:

http://www.oneverybootleg.nl/guests2.htm

Most of them happened during the BIA tour so check all of them

I think it was the 9th and 10th of July at Wembley Arena he played.

Nils is obviously a great talent but he was TERRIBLE in that 85 video.

His first 2 Grin albums were great, still listen to them. And then you can compile a nice 80 minute CD  with his greatest hits (sorry to say, since I have his records ). But I like them.
Come on, it is not funny anymore.
