Bruce Springsteen - Valentine's Day (Rehearsal 1988) Audio

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - Valentine's Day, private rehearsals with The E Street Band and Horns of Love for the upcoming Tunnel Of Love Express Tour

Expo Theater, Ford Monmouth NJ on January 28/1988

Copied from Springsteenlyrics:
Confusion has surrounded the location of these rehearsals due the fact that the military base actually encompasses parts of the towns of Eatontown and Oceanport, as well as the town of Fort Monmouth

VALENTINE'S DAY
Live 28 Jan 1988 take #1
Driving a big lazy car rushin' up the highway in the dark
Got one hand steady on the wheel, one's tremblin' over my heart
Pounding baby like it's bust right on through
And it ain't gonna stop till I'm alone again

A friend of mine became a father last night
We spoke, in his voice I could hear the light
Of the skies and the rivers, timberwolf in the pines
Great jukebox out on Route 39
They say he travels fastest who travels alone
But tonight I miss my girl, mister, tonight I miss my home

Is it the sound of the leaves left blown by the wayside
That's got me out here on this spooky old highway tonight
Is it the cry of the river with moonlight shining through
That ain't what scares me baby, what scares me is losing you

Well they say if you die in your dreams, you really die in your bed
Honey last night I dreamed my eyes rolled straight back in my head
And ???'s light came shinin' on you
I woke up scared and breathin' and I was born anew
It wasn't the cold river bottom rushing over me
It wasn't the bitterness of a dream that didn't come true
It wasn't the wind in the grey fields rushing through my arms
No no baby, baby it was you

So hold me close, say you're forever mine
Tell me you'll be my lonely valentine
My lonely valentine

[vigil12348]

The improv, so different from the album version, when Bruce sings on the chorus: "What scares me is loooooosing you" made me cry...

This is my favorite song of all time and I love it so much but I just wish he would sing it live like he does in this rehearsal version because his version in recent concerts has been way too fast. This song is so freaking emotional that it's just meant to be sung slow and with lots of power.

And I have to say that this horn of love addition is a sweet bonus.Thank you so much OP for posting this.
