Like many others, was very excited in 84 to see Nils join the band since I was familiar with his work. I had the very distinct pleasure to sit next to Nils on a plane this past May, was the day after they played the Basie Theater and their tackling of btr and darkness cover to cover. Nils, and his sweet wife Amy were overly gracious talking to me.They were both just down to earth, full of some fun stories and seemed genuinley interested to talking with a tongue-tied fan.I will forever remember that plane ride. You sometimes wonder if the people you so admire and respect are who you think they are. Nils and Amy are and then some....

The last time I saw Bruce, which was in St. Louis last year (the show before Joe saw him in Kansas City) and Bruce played "Because the Night Belongs to Lovers". I have never seen this song performed live out of four concerts I have went to and it was awesome. The awesome part was the Nils solo. So awesome in fact, the older gentleman in a robin egg blue suit behind me on the floor, passed out during the solo. Nils' amazing guitar solo robbed this man of his consciousness. Well the solo and the 6 24oz beers I saw him suck down in the half hour before and the hour during the show. Nils is the man My Nils story goes like this.

But, one caveat - Nils Lofgren 'played with Neil Young'? That's like saying Babe Ruth spent some time in New York.

I grew up in the DC area and Nils played there a lot (or in Baltimore). I loved his stuff with Grin and then his early solo stuff like Cry Tough (CLASSIC!) and the double live album...... Seeing him do flips (the title track to another solo album, Flip) was amazing. He can wail on the guitar and he has a great rock and roll voice. He too is one of my heroes and shows his character in this interview of what a team guy he can be in an industry full of egomaniacs and asswipes. Thanks Joe, for the trip down memory lane for me. I'm off now, to throw some Nils in the CD player... Great story about Nils. I grew up in the DC area and Nils played there a lot (or in Baltimore).
