Nils Lofgren - Because the night

[notredamehesamighty]

Springsteen is fantastic, but I agree with those who say Nils is more than worth the price of admission. His playing and songwriting abilites are legendary. "No Mercy" is, in my opinion the greatest sports-theme song ever written. Nils is a treasure.

[ALICECOOPERFANATIC]

He is a great performer and a gentleman! Met him last week in Tucson...very nice guy!

[guyglowmore1]

is nils married? i heard somewhere he married buffy st marie.

[influenzaa]

His wife is called Amy, he talks about her quite often.

[DepecheMode95]

Nils' is the best thing about Bruce Springsteen

[thelenis]

@DepecheMode95 no kidding...I'd rather see a Nils show than Springsteen concert anyday

[molly23gud]

Isn't it a collabaration with patti n Bruce ?? Nils plsys a great guitar

[2pacbiggie4334]

bruce and pati co-wrote the song; bruce gave it to her as a way to funnel out songs cause he couldn't record anything at the time

[john9944]

@molly23gud It is unknown whether this was a collaboration between Patti and Bruce or not or was written by Bruce and given to Patti. At the time of its writing Bruce was in a major law suit with a management company. That prevented him from publishing, performing and recording for several years. Be that as it may it is Patti's greatest performance ever. If you haven't heard the Bruce-Michael Stipe version give it a listen. It is on youtube.

[TigresDelEste]

Musician, yes, much better than Bruce; songwriter? not in Bruce's league.

[MJ2327]

haha

[JazzytheMan]

[monmcm]

Nils played with Neil Young also

[RipperKai]

[2rainbowed]

where is the majority of the song?

[skyeboatman]

You just can't please all the people all of the time :-)

[haselfasel]

Bruce wrote that song.

Nils is (verybody knows) part of The E Street Band. And one of the 10 Best Guitar Players in the world. Huge Performance in Because The Night at the tour. I gave you a tip. Go out and see Bruce and The E Street and hear it. Great Band and great Nils also.

[mattyharrison93]

i much prefer patti smiths version to springseins but i love nils lofgren!! Shine silently rules!!

[alanbloke50]

Nils is fast becoming my favorite guitarist =) I love his solos.

[yochusyo]

Patti only wrote the last verse I think...

[groover1958]

Lofgren is the best,

check out Patty Smith

with this one .

[Dukabor]

the song was written by Sprinsteen...given to Patti I believe...but Nils plays it cause...ummm..he plays with Bruce?

[guimcasas]

Actually it was written by both of 'em. Patti and Bruce.

[Dukabor]
