I know that middle part is first version of "Drive all night", but many bootlegs of the time noted this bridge as "sad eyes", so I wrote it that way...

for all his genius, Dylan could never do this, the way Bruce taps into the human soul is beyond me.

this is my favorite moment in bruce history

0:25 instant goosebumps. Love this version! My wife hates Bruce Springsteen. She just doesn't get it. Is Bruce vocally the best singer? Far from it. Does he sing with some of the most emotion? Yes! Does he write some of the best songs ever? Yes! I just don't get how someone couldn't like The Boss.

we can probably all relate to these words at one point or another in our lives. Absolutely amazing version!!!

@MidAgeAllisonFan Or how about the winterland version from December of  '78? Incredible!!!

Nobody did it better, or has done it better than the 70's Bruce. Raw, heartfelt, genuine. And the segways into the different tunes cannot be matched. Priceless.

You think this is great? Get ahold of a bootleg of the 7/7/78 Roxy show. OMG what a performance.
