Brian's only covering the song, and he did it beautifully. He showed he's able to put his own spin on an already incredible song. Don't compare it to the original, because nothing will live up to it.

Sorry to all of his fans...........WEAK COVER!!!

I'm a huge Bruce fan, and no one can beat the boss' version of this song, but I love hearing my second favorite artist cover a song by my favorite artist. And I love the way he says thank you at the end, there's something about it that's so humble. Lots of people do Bruce covers, at least you know he's doing it with a respect for the song rather than fudging up the meaning (Manfred Mann's Blinded by the Light, anyone?)

@jjgrbic Can you do better? I think not. What do you expect him to do? If he did the song too drastically differently, you'd complain about him ruining the song. This is an acoustic cover, with just one man (a great man at that) playing it- you can't expect a full orchestra composition.

mp3 please!

Love Bruce, love E-Street, love Brian, love Gaslight Anthem... don't really like this, though? I think it's the rhythm of his guitar...

What a wonderful version of a beautiful song! Well done, Brian Fallon.

Maybe this "cover" is rather an interpretation of what this song means to Brian. The dude's a Jersey native and friend of Bruce's so I'm sure he grew up with it and lived his own experiences with it. Since he actually has a creative bone in his body, he's able to shape the song into something that sounds different but with the same meaning, not straight up copy the music of someone else like some non-gifted hack. There's no point in covering a song verbatim - it's been done.

wow. what is with all the grouchy comments. grow up people. the song sounds good. everytime someone does a cover of someone else's song, fans of that "someone" get thier pantys caught up in bunch. the whole point of a cover is to put your own twist on someone else's song. it's not meant to sound just like the original.
Long live Gaslight Anthem.
