This is so good, and Bruce's harmonies just take it to a special level. I'm glad he reprised his role from the original on the live version. The first time I watched it it blew me away...
Short story... I went to the FF4 concert in Dallas in 2014, because it was a free show and I thought Dallas + April = tropical. Of course I had to pay for a flight and hotel, so the free show ended up costing me more than driving to a local show would have. And the pouring rain was cold, so instead of spending all day at the festival, I spent the day in my room, debating over how badly I wanted to attend the outdoor show I had flown 900 miles to see...It was actually longer. because I had driven from Indy to Dayton to catch a direct flight and try to save some money...
I had planned to get up early to get a good spot at the front of the stage and plant myself there all day. There were like 3 other groups that were playing prior to Springsteen, and the one other group I really wanted to see was Jack's current band Fun. They had that song "Some Nights" at the time, and I thought it was pretty good. Unfortunately, I couldn't motivate myself to go sit in the pouring rain, and spent the day in my hotel room pretty sure I was going to blow off the show...
Eventually I got in my rental and drove over, because I had come so far and I knew that short of Tornado warnings Bruce/ESB would play. It was the year that WI and pUKe were both in the FF4, and the pUKe fans at the show were obnoxious. I had trouble finding my parked rental afterwards and ran into some WI students who had never seen Bruce before and were blown away. I finally found my car and got back to my room.
Then the next morning my airport shuttle for my flight back to Dayton included (OSU pain in the ass) Aaron Craft and his dad. It was Monday morning prior to the NC game, so either they just came to watch the Semis on Sat, or like me came for the Springsteen show. Or maybe a combo of the two, since they stayed till Mon am...
