Ciao to The Boss

The Boss has blitzed crowds at Glastonbury and Hyde Park, taking the match beyond 5 sets on each occasion!

To mark his triumphant return home I have chosen a wonderful live version of 'The Ghost of Tom Joad.' Where he is joined on vocals and accoustic guitar by none other than; Rage Against the Machine's - Tom Morello.

It lasts just over 8 minutes but it is 8 minutes of unadulterated joy. If you like it as much as I do, it is taken from a mini album, 'Highlights From the Magic Tour,' available on I-Tunes.

As ever enjoy.

Oh, Nigel....Before to watch the video I can tell you again what I think about Tom Joads in the song of the Boss....was a great way to put im music the story of that deep character of the book I 've red more than one time....and think that J. Steinback would be very honoured hearing that song....now I go and see the video...wait, please
