I'm having a very tough week, so I really don't have the energy to give this the exegesis it deserves.
But let's just say that, on reflection. this performance makes a lot more sense, both conceptually and just as music, than I would have believed before I watched it.

That kicks all sorts of ass.
Bruce has been doing some really far-out cover songs this tour. Do fans suggest them online, or is he just coming up with them out of his own demented head?
Hello all....no, please remian seated,
THAT....was very cool.

Bruce is an artist.
Hey -- years ago, Bruce covered Suicide's "Frankie Teardrop," for heavens sake.
:-)
The Bee Gees cover is obviously because he's on tour in Australia, but it's no less jaw-dropping for that. Earlier in the tour, he's been doing AC/DC's "Highway to Hell" for a similar reason.
My fantasy is that before this is over he's going to cover the Easybeats "Friday on My Mind" or "Good Times."
Seriously, at that point I can die happy.
your wish is Bruce's command: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SIvN7ULkNE
Really quite amazing.
On Friday, I posted:

That's a little better quality clip of "Friday on My Mind."
Alright, I'm holding out for Bruce covering the Easybeats "Good Times."

Love the band, especially the horns.
I found it rather infectious.

When I first saw the clip a few days before this post, this popped into my head (first read of it via Dave Marsh's book "The Heart of Rock & Soul: The 1001 Greatest Singles Ever Made"):
“Look at great huge Maurice Gibb, singing like Donald Duck on ‘Stayin’ Alive,’” Roger Daltrey of the Who carped in 1978, then instantly added, “And that’s a great song. Bruce Springsteen could sing that lyric.”
I could learn to like this guy.
