Bruce peaked with this song in 1984. Gary and I got into a D.C. show with, uh, V.I.P. tickets, though we were not the original people scheduled!
Fantastic tour, Bruce in 1984.

There is an enthusiasm throughout that song that though Bruce and his love interest aren’t what we would call today “rich”, life was pretty damn good driving around freely on hidden backstreets at night just being with people you liked.

Jeff Lynne’s E.L.O. / “SHOWDOWN” / live, Wembley Stadium, median expected tempo chart
Seems to me that songs I don’t fall in love with *right away*, but rather grow on me over a year or two, become my favorites.
I was lucky enough to see and hear the fantastic Jeff Lynne with *his* E.L.O. in Philadelphia last month.

When the band played this in my wife’s home town of Philadelphia last month, SHOWDOWN was unexpectedly the song I enjoyed the most.
