From the spoken word to turned up to 11 thrash metal, this combination of words & music has never failed to take me where I wanted/needed to go... Forever grateful. The power of music is a beautifull thing.
Yep - he couldn't get what was in his head onto the recording media. He put his band through 6- months of shit because THEY COULDN'T understand that track goin in his head - what he WANTED. I think the final mix was pretty good though. This out-take (though interesting) was definitely not the one.
Actually this is the ORIGINAL version of the song. It sounds different that what you know from your past because there are parts that are heard on this version that are not on the original version and there are parts on the original version that are not on this one. If you look at the "Making of Born To Run" video and you listen to the cassette tape section where Bruce and the other guy are isolating certain sounds you'll understand. In the COMPLETE version of this song there were about 25 different parts. On the RELEASED version there are only about 12.
If you watch the whole movie you'll hear that they went through about 40 takes of this one song alone because Bruce didn't like most of them. Eventually they tried so many different things that were layered onto the song that were later omitted from the released version. But this is specific parts of the original version. It's just that this version has certain parts from the released version omitted here, and other parts that never made it to the released version. In essence this version is A,B,C,F, H, J, K, and L. The released version is A,B,C,D,E,F, and M.
This was the first version played on WMMR in Philly, right? Pls don't give me that "you're an idiot" that appears to be prevalent on some comments here for almost no reason, thx
Wow! To me, this is even better than the final mix that made the finished album. Oh, just as sure as some you may start flying at me with bullshit elitist insults like "Wow, really? Better get your ears checked or something, because this version is NOT good at all and that's a fact", I'm gonna have to disagree with all the hate being dumped onto the choir part (which, by the way, was NOT entirely left out of the final mix, but merely buried and almost inaudible). From what my perfectly good ears can tell, the choir part just takes the whole thing to a higher, almost celestial level, which suggests the young couple at the heart of the song's subject matter, who were desperate to run away from the hell of their old lives, are that much closer to reaching the light at the end of a long, dark, damp tunnel to begin a new chapter. And not for nothing, it certainly adds more to what Bruce has often described as his cinematic intentions for the song, as envisioned and played out in his head before he even committed it to tape. Also, mad props for the organ part being more discernible as well. Now, let the trolls come out and start hating!
I get so sick of this over played song. nice to hear new versions, but nothing beats the emotion of the acoustic version. I'll never get sick of that one.
One of the worst sound recordings! But, who cares, it became a hit! No, I feel the strings and chorus were later added, but never used. Found the multi-tracks, but still difficult to squeeze out decent stereo! Thanks!

There's a lot of great Springsteen alternative versions this is the greatest!
To me this is like so many other Bruce and E Street songs they do live. You just never know what they might do or play but in the end its magic.
I love that the sax solo remained in tact throughout so many versions of the tune and what a solo it is, RIP Big Man.
that annoying sax ruined his music for me.
this would've been the greatest song of all time but he screwed it up with that saxophone.
lame!

The first Bruce 8 Track I bought. I was hooked. Bruce is an angel of music and even the Good Lord tunes into Bruce.
THE ANTHEM OF A WHOLE GENERATION, GOOD UN BRUCE. PEACE AND LOVE TO YOU ALL MY FRIEND'S. 🙏✌️😎🏴
just awesome to hear !! Different, but so good !! Thanks a lot!
Love the choir at the end!
Six months spent on this song alone according to the "Wings for Wheels" doc.

It shows, the final version is perfection!
Love this version...I have it on an old 33 bootleg but too scratched up at this point; thanks for sharing yours
This is so cool, glad I got it, Danny is killing it, love it!
Great song. Great vocals.
All those strings and backup vocals ... so typical of 1970s rock overproduction. Glad they were scaled back for the final master.
ONE OF THE GREATEST ONES!!!
Wow, that was Good Rockin' Tonite!
Holy Bruce! I ALMOST liked this better, if the choir would go, then it would be awesome.
IT'S FRIDAY!!! FRIDAY!!! FRIDAY!!!
Woah . . . mind is BLOWN.
B R U C E !!! 🍀🌹🍀
Very very cool....

The wonderful glockenspiel was always there!
r5t6y12 He should have kept the sax crescendos during "Beyond the Palace..." Barely audible on the actual record.
saw this guy in concert
@@Momma1241 you're stupid
IS THERE A CD WITH ALL THIS STUFF? God this is awesome
Dan Mykityshyn War and Roses is a really interesting collection of old BTR outtakes. Kinda expensive to get in physical form tho
Those backup vocals are angelic

I heard that this version also landed at WMMS here in Cleveland after hitting Philly.
where can i get this cd form i always love his remixs and alternate versions of his song i love this cd
Man, is this version heavily compressed with the vocals straight up and out front. I like it.

It's punchier but the added strings are too melodramatic. The mix of the strings in the album version is perfect. The organ is great!
Bruce Springsteen on an outtake of Born To Run.
Mantovani Strings subbing for the E Street Band?
Glockenspiel sounds so spooky!
This version is better. The background singers are magical

for the lonely
Well, I'm not about to argue with that. For me, it might be a bit too much... And dosent really fit the view that I have of it. :)
