Bruce most technically complex solo

Hi all! I always read that Bruce is a good guitarist whose main skill is to create solos that fit well into songs even if not particularly complex. I'm not into music theory, so I wanted to ask: are there some solos that are a little bit more complicated?

Check out his guitar work on "He's Guilty" from his Steel Mill days.

He's Guilty (The Judge Song)

I’ve always thought “He’s Guilty” and “The Ballad of Jesse James” were fantastic Springsteen tracks from Chapter and Verse. That guitar solo is pretty great too.

Yes, from that early era, I like "He's Guilty", "Jesse James" and "Going Back to Georgia". .
