Nils Lofgren - Cry Tough (2010) 2 DVD Set

These three Nils Lofgren live concerts from Germany were all filmed for the famous Rockpalast TV series and capture the guitarist at three different phases of his career: as a newly launched solo artist in 1976, as an established performer in 1979 and at the peak of his powers in 1991 after a substantial period supporting Bruce Springsteen in the E Stree Band. All three are great performances and catch the excitement and showmanship of one of America's finest guitar players live in concert.
