Out of a great soul came a great sound. Clarence's sax was k.i.s.s. and we all knew exactly why he was not leading some jazz band somewhere. Thank you for making our worlds a little better, big man.
Well, I have to say that this is my favorite version of Badlands. I have a few cds with Badlands on it, live and studio version, but I this is still the best. Especially the part in the beginning at 0:18-0:34 and 4:10 till the end.

My favorite Springsteen song, and unfortunately,I feel that it is the lone song that he has never been able to create a live version for that was better then the studio.
Well I have no doubt that the crowd loves it and would sing along regardless, as would I, all I'm saying is that I think his voice is perfect in the stuido version and hes never quite been able to replicate that live for this song.
I disagree. Bruce has "created" numerous BRILLIANT live versions of Badlands, renditions that rival the original. Have you ever heard the live recording from the Agora Ballroom show, August, 1978? Or, more recently, from the St. Louis show, August, this year? The studio version is classic, no doubt: the booming drums, the wall of wound,vastly different than recording norm of the 70s. Badlands is a great song. The original studio version is great, as are many live versions as well.
thats my absolutely favorite song from Bruce Springsteen and the album version from the best of album is my absolute favorite. Thanks Bruce for your work for the poor and helpless american people. Bruce you're an absolutely great man.
lol funny story about this song. so we had to read this chapter in egnlish called Badlands for homework. So the next day we had a homework check and to give us a time limit, our English teacher gave us to the end of this song to finish. Then later he asked what song it was and I was the only one who knew.
MORAL: No one knows Bruce Springsteen anymore. Isn't that pathetic?
I'd say Bruce' music is for people, but people often appreciate it only when they get older... So don't worry, the older you get, the more fans of him you'll meet.. :) And at that time it will be your kids with 'Badlands' homework :D

Me too. It may not be as high quality as the original of this song, but you have to say it's got a good, unique sound to it.

I totally agree. His studio version of this song blows away all his live versions. I'm glad there's someone out there who agrees with me.

I must disagree, Badlands is the most powerful and crowdgoing song live.
The bridge with the "ooohh ohh oooh" to hear a stadium with 60 000 people shout there is quite empowering!
