Bruce performs Drive All Night

An interesting song.  It started out as an extension of my all-time fave Sprigsteen song, Backstreets, combined with another tune called Sad Eyes.  He performed it that way back around '78 and it was absolutely riveting, (The best recorded version is from the Roxy radio broadcast.  If you can get it - do so.) .  By the early 80's Bruce had spun it and Sad Eyes off into their own songs.  Still great, but it lacks the build-up that Backstreets gave it.  You hear about the anguish of the breakup, but without the background and the intensity that Backstreets gives you.  Oh well.
