'So' was released on this day 40 years ago.
"I think part of the reason that ‘So’ works so well was that the band was really firing off each other and we had a great sound and production team. It was compact in the process and the way it was put together." - pg

Sir Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen tearing through “I Saw Her Standing There” and “Twist And Shout” live at Hyde Park, 2012.
The Boss looked absolutely thrilled to be sharing the stage with Macca — two legends trading vocals and energy like old friends. What a moment!
