Bruce Springsteen - Blinded By The Light (1974) Audio

[UrukHai659]

For everyone who doesn't care for the intro, 4:45 takes you to the start of the actual song

[raresaturn]

This song actually got me into Bruce....I always loved his radio stuff but had never listened to any album. Anyway I was in a record shop one day and picked up Asbury Park from a discount bin...flipped it over and saw 'Blinded by the Light' was on it. I bought it there and then because I loved the M.Mann version. Been into Bruce ever since.

[FinCroweman]

why is it that i think of hendrix when i hear this song?

[TheSpringsteenrocks]

What Great song Form is first album amazing job Springsteen

[emriederek]

Now I understand why MMann made it a hit, not Sprinsteen...sorry Bruce, some people were made to sing other peoples music. E-street was plenty funky, but Bruce just didn't have the right tone to make it a hit

[DEATHbyHEMLOCK]

yuck. Manfred Mann's did to this song what Hendrix did to Along the Watchtower.

[mamacornettesmoney]

@DEATHbyHEMLOCK And Aretha to Otis Redding's "Respect".

[gmoop12]

i apologize for the double post, but could you please tell me who is plays the drums for this show?

[MsBrucejuice]

@gmoop12 It's Ernest Carter, replaces the fired Vini Lopez !

Thanks for your comments:-)

[gmoop12]

@MsBrucejuice ah so it predates mighty max! thank you!!

[gmoop12]

the recording of new york city serenade from this show rivals the main point recording. it's amazing.

[jplew138]

R. I. P., Big Man.

[moron32]

@jplew138 I'm pretty sure Springsteen is still with us....

[BaneOfXistence4]

This one's for Clarence Clemons.

[NegativeOutlook4]

I love how Bruce can play so many different styles and they all sound awesome

[tahooey]

i never heard bruce like this when i was growing up - great blues jam!

[tb8202]

Tonight I heard on the radio Alice cooper say that this was a springsteen, was he first or manfred?

[MsBrucejuice]

@tb8202 It's Bruce's and on his first album Greetings From Asbury Park

[MsBrucejuice]

@tb8202 Just like "For You" and "Spirit In The Night", all covered by Manfred Mann

[Jorel1998]

@tb8202 Manfred Mann made a pretty good bit of change making remakes of Springsteen and Dylan songs. The band did a good job with them and certainly added to them, but most Manfred Mann hits came from Springsteen or Dylan.

[theganjaking56]

@tb8202 Bruce wrote it, but Manfred Manns Earth Band funked it up and imho they did it better than the boss

[trustonlymulder]

love the jamz

[kennethh70]

most of brucies tracks live are better then the studio ! take the hammersmith 75 for example every track is just soo much better than the studio .when the live tracks are bertter than the studio it shows a true artist !

[cctomcat32]

@2AmyLongoria it would be the best...because he wrote and recorded it first...people dont seem to know that this song is springsteens not the mann band

[2AmyLongoria]
