Not Sure who's More Embarressed
me or Bruce....avoid
The Intersection of NJ and lower Manhatten
As a fan of both artists this is an amazing recording and a major treat.

Suicide
The tragedy is that more people may have heard Bruce sing in his concert than Suicide ever did in their performing history. The boss has good tastes - sometimes.
