Ted Leo "Dancing In The Dark" - Hangin' Out On E Street

[TheJohnny990]

great song. 1 thing i noticed that their seems 2 be a debate on how 2 play this song. i always thought it was in D but then i saw a vid of bruce play it in Bb.

[jmd1984farts]

great version



[touchandgod]

I don't see it having all the power of the Springsteen version, but I gotta fucking admit, he has a passion and energy lie unto that of a goddam GOD.

[hawkman4321]

This is better than Springsteen's

Ted Leo rocks!

[hawkman4321]

I feel this version is wayyyyyy better than Springsteen's.

Ted Leo rocks it!

[pulpdivision]

i wish he were covering "backstreets."

[drunkdified]

WOW.. Happened across this by accident.. Nice job! he is the boss, but i like a little harder.. cant tell from the accoustic crap, but new songs that are starting out nice. Anyway! Great! Maybe we all play someday!

when i was going to see ted leo at the diesel club lounge, he cancelled at the last minute. i'm not in any way bitter about it, because i know ted's steadfastly loyal to his fanbase, and probably cancelled for a solid reason. still, it's videos that these that make me wonder...just so exceptional! he manages to compress all the energy of the entire e-street band into a guitar and a voice.(and one of my particular favorite guitars at that...i'd surely purchase one if i had the necessary funds.)

[AndrewNine]

Wow, this is amazing... but i wanna hear Ted do it with a full band!!!

[talflick]

I'm totally going to scream it as a request at the next concert I see with him (IT'LL BE MY FOURTH <3)

[veryrancid]

just goes to show..it can be rock n roll with just one player

[Kleaver13GDW]

so much better than tegan and sara's cover of this, check it out, and then agree or disagree with me. i love this song, cant wait to see bruce on june 28th at hard rock calling!

[catzeyes919]

Aw don't hate! I an one of the few people with a mutual love and respect of BOTH Ted Leo and Tegan and Sara. Both versions are good.

[Kleaver13GDW]

I didn't disrepect or say that tegan and sara's version wasn't good. but it just doesn't have the same feel as this one here :)

[soneric84]

Does anyone know what chords he plays?

[4toymachine4]

Yea, anyone? I can't figure it out

[4toymachine4]

A then x024xx then xx46xx

[Kucingmatt]

close....

A then xxx04xx then xxx06xx

A then xxx04xx then xxx06xx then xxx04xx then xxx02xx

Then D

chorus is just E, D and Bm

[tolinrome]

@Kucingmatt

Hi Can you email how to play this great song and the great job he plays it in this video? I dont understand xxx04xx xxx06xx etc....thanks.

[mresplendent]

Gaslight Anthem covers Backstreets for the record.

[NYCPunx]

I'm pretty sure Ted is covering Dancing in the Dark, not Backstreets.....

[merelycargo]

I love how the lyrics to this song really sound like something Ted Leo could have written... sort of in the spirit of "Colleen" or "Who Do You Love" off of Living With the Living.
