Mary's Place on this release is great. It reminds me of how much I liked it when I first heard it on The Rising. And part of the reason I did was because of what the song represented... this wasn't just a song Bruce had written that was suitable for a rock band to play, which by default for him was the E Street Band. This was clearly specifically written as a performance piece for the E Street Band itself, in the spirit of Rosie or Thundercrack from the early days. This song truly was the rededication of the E Street Band he originally referred to in regard to the Reunion tour.
