It consists of everything from the fan favorites -- "Jungleland" and "Badlands" seem particularly popular -- to concert recordings to rare covers. Also some very good interviews. A couple of Fridays ago I heard Miami Steve, a.k.a. Silvio, dissing and praising some bands with the wisdom of a scholar.

>>I could never understand what people saw in Bruce and his band. OK, so my sister thought he was hot and therefore the music must be good too, right?. They do nothing for me. I'd rather listen to the current U2 stuff than BS. I mean come on, there's a sax player in the band and everyone knows that a true Rock 'n Roll band doesn't have any wind instruments :)

Just so it's clear, I have no problem with Mike about that. It would be a dull world if we all agreed.
