IF i were a priest I would make BRUCE A SAINT-JAD

This song shows how creative a lyricist he is.Its amazing that he was only in his 20's when he wrote this.This is one of the most complex songs by him I have ever heard and ever.Amazing.

i confess... cried a little bit when i listened to this

Not sure of the size of the club, but the shows her were most definitely advertised and were generally performed by a full band. It was as the Bruce Springsteen Band that he performed Priest so it was more than likely not acoustic.

Try Allan Clarke's cover.

Thanks Thom405L, great post and an unbeliveable song!!

amazing song- he needs to put this in the set list when he tours again.

I fucking love this tune. Not the greatest lyrical piece but this is one of his great performances if you ask me

Not sure the student prince counts (essentially an attic right before a few musician friends?) please correct me if i'm wrong.

He has performed it live. The legend that he never did came from John Hammond. Actually he has played it at least once - in December 1971 at the Student Prince (a fact noted by Bruce himself).

Thanks for the correction......I was always under the impression that he'd never played it live...from quotes 'allegedly' attributed to Bruce himself as well as JH. There might even be a tape out there somewhere??

...during his demo session with John Hammond, he was asked to sing a song he would never perform live....this is it....and I don't think he ever gave a reason for his comment....
