This is a great and beautiful surprise. Bruce tried so hard to channel all the passion. This is fantastic, and the released version is sublime. Thanx for uploading this marvel.
ok i think bruce and the boys stayed up all night and recorded all those "river" songs 10 different ways. even if the versions were not used, he explored all avenues to a lyric. not to mention a ripping guitar solo. bruce is a genius. also thanks to columbia records for giving bruce all that money to stay in the studio.
The version on The River of Point Blank is the best version there is.Any live version over the years just never cut the mustard.And this one doesn't either.

It's a shame that this 3CD BOX is not for sale.

It's good but I prefer the original, it gets the emotion, the sadness and everything way better.
However, I like the fact that theres a guitar solo in this one, I wish the original had a slow, quiet solo...it would fit great!

I don't agree. Very poor version of this magnificent song. Simply too fast. (POINT BLANK happens to be NOT A ROCK SONG!)

He has a rock version of evry non-rock song he has and a non-rock version of evry song he has. (okay maybe not every song he has but u get my point.

Roy Bittan makes every song he plays on. Of course, Bruce's vocals and musical sensibilities are great too.

Glockenspiel is brilliant

It certainly is. Leave it to Bruce and the E-Street Band to put the glockenspiel in a rock setting and make it work so magically well.

Love this version. A Tear Must Fall is a superb outtake album.

I agree, I just wish the "The River" album track would have short intro to the song like it had on the River tour. It seems that it was just cut out.
