Nils Lofgren Cry Tough 1976 

Such a great jam. I've always loved the way this tune builds and finishes with a crescendo.

Recently bought a new record player, one that connects with my Mac, but have had too much fun playing my old vinyl LPs and singles to check out how rhe connection works. Anyway: the first album I played was Nils Lofgrens solo debut - the darling of my vast collection. Saw him live in Stockholm at about this time, and my heart almost stopped. Pure bliss and happiness!

Saw him at the Colston Hall in Bristol with Unicorn support on the Cry Tough tour

Was at the opening night of the 1976 tour with TP supporting, at the Capitol, Cardiff. Both bands were epic. Saw Nils in Cheltenham Town hall about 10 year ago. Still great.

Oh I remember this so well I had this album in the 1970's fantastic stuff!!....Ah the memories. I wish I could get it on CD

Nils is a great song writer and muscian seen him many times including this time regards jimmy

I saw this transmission back in the day On BBC2 in UK...went and bought the album...!

Saw NILS LOFGRIN at the Cow Palace,san francisco, calif in mid 77, the first band was STARCASTLE and the headliner was the band BOSTON,on there first tour,,,NILS was promoting I came to dance,,,

Just canNOT believe my hair ! .:>).........Bobby Manriquez (in stripes on purple strat))

I saw Nils in Edinburgh on this tour and he was just fantastic. Tom Petty was ok but I was there for the main man, Nils, my hero back then!

The best band you never heard.

He when to High School near me.. I saw him in many good bar's and pubs.

Really great song sadly under-appreciated in its day.

@clean3 I'm afraid it's true. I'm a big Lofgren fan (obvious seeing as I put up this video), but it's a generally accepted fact by anyone who saw this tour that Tom Petty & Heartbreakers stole the show as the opening act. Nobody had heard of TP&THB when this tour opened in Cardiff, but he was encour hailed until Lofgren appeared. Petty also played at the WDR studios and I've posted one of his numbers from that show up here.

Saw Nils at the Cowpalace in San Francisco, Ca. this was one of the Songs i listened to in the 1970s, remember 8 Tracks, the band Boston was the Headliner and Starcastle was opening the Gig,DaveK Blog: vintagetourjackets

i saw the tour in Glasgow Petty was great but Nils was true class and in no way had the show stolen from him. He had the crowd in the palm of his hand.

Très , Trop Cool

Saw him at Leeds Uni during this tour - and remained a fan for many years..Have to admit that his support on the night, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, blew him away! Big mistake making Tom your warm-up band!!

Mind you saying that, as a 14 year old seeing your first ever live band I remember thinking after Tom Petty finished that this live music lark is really quite good.

Amazing- thanks

Uber-super Amazing GEM IVORY MADE OF GOLD SO COOL AND DELIGHTFUL UPLOAD !

soo efeing cool thanks

Different genre, but as underated as Rory Gallagher. Neither realized a strat isn't an orchestra; thank God!

@devonandc I think Nils is probably more of a studio musician than a live act. He's good headphone music...

@canisp06 I would love to see Nils and Mike Campbell play together though. That or Grin reform...

So who is he other guitarist playing slide with Nils?

Petty couldn't blow my cat off stage ~ I saw this tour and he didn't blow shit.

What band did Nils go onto to play with??

LOL. No way Tom Petty being beter than Nils. He can't even flip.
