Nils Lofgren Talks About Meeting Bruce Springsteen and Playing with the E Street band 

Lived with Mum and Dad while they were on a posting in Washington DC from Australia 1969-72 (what a period to be there!) and Nils and Grin were a local DC band. My sister had 1+1 which I still listen to today. They were played on WHFS a great FM radio station at the time.

Met him at Barney's Beanery in 82. Had the pleasure of meeting most top guitarists over the years. Not only a Great guitarist, and GENUINE guy! Was a pleasure Nils...

One of the all time greatest.

Love this guy. Could listen to him speak and perform all day. One of the very best artists and so modest, probably to his own cost at times.

Nobody has had a career that can rival Nill's. All that time with Neil and than he joins up with Bruce. That's just crazy.

Great story...I'll never forget seeing Nils and Grin playing in Northern Virginia back in 72. A great pleasure.

Nils is a monster talent himself .. with a great voice , unique guitar player..There’s a great Old Grey Whistle Test of him doing ‘Going Back ‘ ..excellent

Nils is a fantastic guitar player

Fascinating. Where's part 2? Thanks.

And a super nice fella.

What a great career this man has had

Sat with on anvil cases on the stage at Shoreline amp during the bridge school. Chatted for 10 minutes....very down to earth guy, just like in this video. I asked him his top 5 moments of his career and he said a gig in Ireland with the eStreet band...i think it was Dublin. Said it was truely magical. He also mentioned the Amisty international tour with Tracy Chapmen and sting?

saw him in a group called Elf.we went to see wishbone ash & MANFRED MANN’S EARTH BAND.they got booed off of the stage.not deserved but I think the crowd wanted the other 2 bands to play.They were really good especially MANFRED MANN’S EARTH BAND.

Wonderful lasting memories nils supporting tom petty In London 😂 many moons. Ago ❤ songs off cry tough magical night ❤

Great to hear his story. Finding fulfillment after slighted by the recording “industry” seems to me to be sweet justice.

“Night after Night” ….probably my favourite Live album by any Artist . Still listen to it regularly since 1977 when I was a young Cadet . Wonderful !

That's quite a nonlinear story.

Play video games at a friggin bar, eighties bruv

Nils the R&R HOF is a Joke like Steve Miller says.

Bunch of friends and I went to the 85 Born in the USA show at RFK in DC. My friend was to my right and the stage was to his right. Nils was wearing the huge cowboy hat and my buddy turn to me and he said this: "I hope Nils does his flip," and as he was saying that and looking at me, Nils did his stage flip!! My buddy totally missed it.

I saw Nils play with Neil Young in 1972 in Chicago. I was blown away by his guitar playing on “You’re the Weight.”

A delightful man!!❤

Crazy Horse should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

No doubt Nils has improved Bruce 's guitar playing .

Nils guitar playing never fit the E Street Band and he has no on stage chemistry with Bruce. Nils likes going to harmonic overtones and some feedback where Little Steven is pure melody guitar. Everyone missed Little Steven's playing. Bruce does not need Patti or Nils.

They say "never meet your heroes" here's another one "never watch your heroes act on Curb Your Enthusiasm".

Never understood he plays 3 hour near 30 songs never same setlist takes requests on songs he not played in years.

Freakin boring as hell

Love Nils. Tired of the politics though. Cry tough in November.

Personally, I don’t get the whole Bruce Springsteen thing??? Kinda like Taylor Swift.

This imp is annoying. I liked a few Grin tracks, and of course, whatever he contributed to Tonight’s the Night. But his babbling is tiresome.

Never understood the whole Springsteen thing. He also cancelled a long anticipated show by his fans in NC when he decided to not perform over some political nonsense. Screwed those fans. No respect for him.

With out a doubt, one of the greatest guitar players ive ever seen
