Virtuoso rock guitarist Nils Lofgren shares stories of recording and touring in the 70s.

Nils Lofgren is a virtuoso rock guitarist who has recorded and performed with Bruce Springsteen as a member of the E Street Band, Ringo Starr and Neil Young.

In 1971 he continued his recording career as a founder member of Grin, with whom he recorded 4 albums before going solo in 1975, releasing an album a year until the end of the decade.
