  • hey poster... mind telling me the name of the album/boxet this came from?

  • You can find it in the video info.

  • the first four lines of this song are the same as the opening first four lines in bruceS song SHUT OUT THE LIGHTS

  • There's a line or two a minute in that were rewritten a little for 'Born In The USA'.

  • I am not a big fan of Springsteen, but I do respect the man's work. And Nebraska is a beautiful album, probably his masterpiece. If only he recorded more albums that way.

  • i like bruces music, but this sounds a lot like "midnight speciaL".

    

  • This recording actually predates the NEBRASKA recording sessions. According to Bruce's book SONGS, "Vietnam" was a song-in-progress before he re-titled the song "Born In The USA". The finished version of "Born..." on TRACKS is the version recorded for but left off of what became NEBRASKA. This version also sounds like it may have been influenced by Jimmy Cliff's song "Vietnam". During this time period, Bruce was getting into Jimmy Cliff. (That's how he discovered Cliff's "Trapped".)

  • This outtake should have had its place on the Tracks (1998) box set!

  • What an amazing album!

  • @sleepyduo37 Really? Have to check that out. I just picked up a documentary 'Tales of a working man' and I highly recommend that mate

  • @silverfencer I have discovered a lot more springsteen since then. His cover of Vigilante Man is just like this album.

  • @sleepyduo37 I highly recommend Tunnel of Love, in particular Two Faces, Brilliant Disguise and One Step Up.

  • @JohnCronin103 go fuck urself
