Drivin’ All Night: Heart and Soul, Part Three
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?

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?
Pete
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.
