I had a dream the other year that Springsteen had announced a back to basics tour for the following year - and by that, I meant really back to basics. Just him, Lofgren, Tallent, Bittan and - for some reason - Manu Katché on drums. No SVZ, no Weinberg, no horns, no violin, no Charlie.
I'd have been all over that. Would offer a fascinating way to recast a lot of songs.
