Honourable mention: the rest (even Why Don’t We Do it in the Road)

3. Born to Run-the
Boss (greatest Wall of Sound arrangement since Phil Spector)
2. A Night at the Opera-Queen (greatest operatic to hard rock transition since…well, ever)
1. One of these Nights-The Eagles (most brooding opening guitar riff of the decade)

Me too. I had high enough hopes, but it was the best live show I have seen in years - since Springsteen, in fact.

Nice. Saw Sir Elton in Vegas 2012, the Boss in Melbourne 2017 (and 3 times prior to that) and Sir Paul in Sydney last year.
