At least, I had never heard this version. It's an acoustic version from before "Born to Run". What's incredible about it is the chord structure. Totally different than what ended up on the album.

The chordal changes Springsteen made between originally writing this song, and putting it on "Born to Run" are mind-blowing. If you've ever played this song and are familiar with the album version, pick you guitar and play along with this version.

It's in G (the BTR album version was recorded in F), and this version throws in an F chord all over the place, whereas the album version never saw Eb.

Enjoy!

i've known this version for a few years now and it's still as beautiful as when i fearst heard it.

actually, i prefer it over the album version.
