Kolodney) Organization: GenRad, Inc., Concord, Mass. Lines: 30 Evan Marcus' description of the energy and atmosphere at the SPringsteen concert reminded me a lot of a description of a Dead show. Even though the two bands play very different music, and have very different types of audiences there seem to be many parallels: 1. Emotional rapport with the audience. 2. Concern for fans and vice versa. 3. Hard working (4 hour concerts) 4. Fan Comraderie. Maybe in 20 years there'll be Springsteen-heads following him around the country, and they will pay their way by selling home made denim jackets and bandanas? Of course there are *so* many important differences. only time will tell I suppose. -- Sport Death, Larry Kolodney (USENET) ...decvax!genrad!teddy!lkk (INTERNET) lkk@mit-mc.arpa
