Drivin’ All Night: Heart and Soul, Part Three
by Pete
There’s a reason this concert’s nickname is Heart and Soul. “Heart and Soul” is an important component of “Drive All Night”, probably my favorite Bruce ballad of all time. “HEEEAAAAARRRRT and SOUUUL / HEAAAAAARRRRT and SOUUUL”. It’s an intimate, heartfelt, and very powerful tune, and that’s just the studio version. Just wait til you hear this live version. Once you’re catching your breath after hearing “Drive All Night”, they’re diving right iinto a breathtaking “Backstreets”. No mercy, I tell ya.
Enjoy the final part of the show. Who out there agrees with me on ‘Drive All Night”? Is this not the best version you’ve ever heard? What’d y’all think of the show?

A fellow Boss fan sent me a link to this video earlier today. It’s a 23 year old Bruce Springsteen performing “Growin’ Up” at Max’s Kansas City in New York City. The year was 1972 – Bruce’s first album wasn’t released until the following year.
Somehow, this seems appropriate as the first post of this [...]

Quick Note: I didn’t want to bombard my Top 10 with Springsteen and Prince albums, so I chose my favorites of theirs from the 00’s. Did I spend more time with M.I.A.’s Arular than with Bruce’s Magic or Prince’s Musicology? No way. Just so you know, I limited my picks to one album per artist.

After the whirlwind schedule that Bruce and the Band have put themselves through the last couple of years, they’ve definitely earned some much needed R&R. And with some sort of hiatus underway (1 year? 2-3 years?), Boss Geeks like me start to speculate on what his next move might be. We know he can’t stay [...]

As bootlegs go, the tour that supported Bruce’s Darkness on the Edge of Town has to be my favorite (followed closely by The River). My favorite show? Without question, it’s July 7th, 1978 at the Roxy – a small club show in L.A. The quality is perfect, the intensity unmatched. In fact, let me play [...]

With only four shows left on the Working On A Dream tour (wrapping up in Buffalo on November 22nd), and with much buzz about how the band will be taking some sort of extended hiatus, now’s the time to savor and cherish what Bruce and the Band have been bringing all year – and that’s [...]

The Boss and his E Street Band kicked off a 5 night run at Giants Stadium tonight – the final shows for the venue. In honor of the stadium’s impending doom, Bruce kicked off the evening with a new song – possibly & probably called “Wrecking Ball”.

Bruce Springsteen, one of my heroes in this life, turns 60 years old today. Not sure where the time goes, all I know is it goes a tad too fast for my liking. This is a simple & short post to send a hearty Happy Birthday out to the Boss.
“Brilliant Disguise” is probably my favorite [...]

“Sea of Heartbreak” is one of those classics you recognize when you hear it, you enjoy it, but you really know nothing about the history or origin of the song. Well, that’s my experience anyway. After hearing Rosanne Cash’s new version, with Bruce Springsteen on harmonies, and listening about 5-6 times in a row, it [...]

I like it a lot! Thanks!

Pete – Many thanks for hosting the show. My iPod is smiling.
October 6, 2006 - 11:30 am
Thanks, thanks, thanks… For me, it’s also his most moving and heartbreaking ballad, and I had never heard it live. In the 80’s I was still a child to go to concerts, why doesn’t he play it any more?
I think I’ve arrived too late to this web page, any way to get the first 2 parts?
October 10, 2006 - 10:58 am
Thanks very much for posting this show! I’ll add my voice to those who have asked that you please, please, please post parts 1 and 2 again. Perhaps on or around the Nov. 5 anniversary of the show?
I’m not a huge fan of the studio version of Drive All Night but this version is beautiful and very moving. Clarence’s solo is extraordinary.
It’s nice to hear the band sounding so agile and loose. The arrangement on The Price You Pay is excellent. I’d also rate this version of the Detroit Medley very, very high.
Love the site. I’ve also been enjoying the Joe Ely in Dublin show you posted a while back. Thanks again.

Hey, just came across this as i was looking for a live version of drive all night, any chance it is still kicking around somewhere? If possible can you send me an email.
Cheers,
