"…what’s much more impressive is his artistic purpose: The latter-day Springsteen, looking back, says, “More than rich, more than famous, I wanted to be great.” And Rebo’s ’70s footage bears him out, as Springsteen sought “a leaner, angrier sound” (punk rock was breathing down his neck) and, as comments from Springsteen and Landau attest, how seriously the singer-songwriter approached what could have been just a relatively fast, easy, hit-single-filled follow-up to Born To Run. Instead, Springsteen sought to make a “sonic movie,” the equivalent to the soulful, sere John Ford Western The Searchers."

One of the greatest Springsteen bootlegs ever? Sounds good to me.

byronic:

Tonight I’m playing one of the greatest Springsteen bootlegs very loud with the windows fully open - and singing along. (Hello, neighbours. Guess what? Tonight you put up with my noise!)

The raw power of this particular favourite is breath-taking; I love the dedication to Ron Kovic, and the fact that Bruce changes the lyrics halfway through as he’s singing (although I can’t exactly work out what he says instead of the album version “Where no one asks any questions/or looks too long in your face”):

Well, everybody’s got a secret Sonny
Something that they just can’t face
Some folks spend their whole lives trying to keep it
They carry it with them every step that they take

Till some day they just cut it loose
Cut it loose or let it drag ‘em down
You can drive all night long
And never make it (???)
To the darkness on the edge of town
