I Love this song and more specifically prefer this version over Manfred Manns cover...still looking for a high quality version though -__-

[RockNRolla1996]

@MusiqMan127 You can find one on the right hand side? Lol

[RyTrapp0]

gotta say, bruce is one hell of a song writer, but that bastard just can not sing that good at all. it's better than most better on planet earth, but it definitely doesn't live up to his song writing or fame. fantastic song though, especially when manfred manns earth band absolutely created one of the greatest recordings on the history of music! i HATE keyboards in 70's and 80's music, but their use in this song was absolutely perfect!

[RockNRolla1996]

@RyTrapp0 Yea man I know Bruce's voice is shakey but you don't get guys like him these days!

[gjc82071]

@RockNRolla1996 His voice might be shakey & raw, but it's pure, emotional & honest. Not like today's "singers", all processed, digitized, electronically auto-tuned/harmonized, ie ALTERED, etc. 1 thing he does have that NO machine can duplicate, (at least not yet) is his unique accent, & diction, & also his tone/tonal quality.

[RockNRolla1996]

@gjc82071 Your right brother!

we all know BRUCEs career is gold, manfred will never ever be able to hold a Candle to bruce over a lifetime, but just this one time,,, manfred holds the crown,, even if its only for a single song,,, give them their day in the sun,, cause they knocked it out of the park, and even bruce will admit it,,,,, although bruce is still the BOSS

And i'm pretty sure the songwriting royalties that made Bruce millions of dollars had him loving the hell out of Manfred Mann's version too...;  )

[rweghg3]

The Manfred Mann Earth Band performed the song like it was an original release....No disrespect to Bruce & the E street band, but Bruce's version ( the original ) comes across as an Interpretation of how Bob Dylan would have done it

[pbrick6301]

one of his best. i have no problem w/ the quality neither. it needed to be done.

[connorc1323]

I think the fact that every comment on this video is about manfred's cover, positive or negative, shows that manfred won..

[judsonkr]

@dmsfree LOL. Well put.

I do not understand why people get so much invested into who's is best. I like Manfred Mann's version much better than this one but why make a big deal over it? I someone likes The Boss more then so be it.

One can like both.

As an example I will say that "Turn The Page" is two on my favorite songs ever.

[dmsfree]

criticizing Springsteen's voice is akin to complaining about Mozart's brush. Get over yourself.

[whipownsu]

@MusiqMan127 your choice maybe because its orig by bruce but idk manfreds sounds so much better

[BullshitsMike]

I like this longer version than Manfredd Manns :)

@RockNRolla1996 LOL nowadays you get singers that can't sing well and are helped out by the "music machine" aka the music industry and all it's electronics and machines and techniques and spin. Springsteen can sing his signature sound well. He's not from the pop machine; not manufactured.
