I Could Never See You Depart Us

The Lone Star State will always hold a dear, dear place in my heart, but if there's anything I've learned in the past twelve months, it's that special things tend to happen in the 16th state to enter this glorious Union, Tennessee.

This past Sunday night, on a farm outside of Manchester, TN, two of my favorite musical worlds collided when Bruce Springsteen joined Phish for a 3-song sit-in as Phish closed out the 2009 edition of Bonnaroo.
The first song of the collaboration was a 10-minute cover of Wilson Pickett's "Mustang Sally" with Bruce on vocals followed by two songs from Springsteen's 1984*-album "Born in the U.S.A.", "Bobby Jean" and the always enjoyable "Glory Days".

Here's video from "Mustang Sally":

Here's great footage of "Glory Days", which Trey absolutely destroys, but then again, what else did you expect from THE MASTER?

*1984: Good year. Well, except for the whole George Orwell thing, but I digress.
