Nils Lofgren Cry Tough 1976 YES - 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!

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.

@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.

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!

[@geoffmunro]

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.

[@dantean]

Really great song sadly under-appreciated in its day.

[@monkeyguitarist]

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

[@Graber714]

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

[@manifestlyenglish]

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!!

[@grgoldner]

Amazing- thanks

[@vadimmikhailyuk1205]

Très , Trop Cool

[@hootigan]

soo efeing cool thanks

[@chappie45]

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.

[@ah123223]

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

[@bdfilms01]

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

[@flooberbloob]

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

[@tynebar]

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

[@gmc403]

So who is he other guitarist playing slide with Nils?

[@bdfilms01]

What band did Nils go onto to play with??

[@monkeyguitarist]

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