Great!

Great show! Love the deep dive on the concert. I agree with hearing some things off the Western Stars which thought was good. Gypsy Biker is a song I really relate to.
Thanks

Outstanding

Ok, 1st of all, if you are a diehard Bruce fan, then you will instantly like this podcast, there’s nothing not to like about it, it is well researched, and the hosts are well connected/informed.Their knowledge, their passion overrides any flaws they may have as broadcasters, so it is not painful to listen to. I highly recommend this podcast.

Johnny99/This Tour

For what it’s worth, I LOVE Johnny99 🎸. Bruce said this tour was going to be a big party, and it seems like he is balancing that with the mortality we all have felt in spades these last several years.
