If you only have one Bruce album, this is the one to get. If you have been to a concert6 then you'll know why. The sheer excitement of 10th Avenue Freezeout when the horns cut in

Tales sure does divide opinions, but it's nice to see it. Station to Station is a great choice, props to you! Live albums are cheating, but I also have one in my chart so I'm not in position to complain :)
