Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - Point Blank (Live in Houston, 1978) 

iesus68 yes,exactly like THAT- Sofieann B.

Were you listening with your eyes open or closed? ;-)

Right between the eyes...

In 1985 when I First listen to this version I didn't understand english very well, and It was so different from the version on the River! 20 Years later I listened to all the version of the darkness tour ! The deepest lyrics ever written, expecially when you don't know where aim your guns because you've been shot in the back...

Yes, we transported ourselves with our stereos and our music locked in our rooms with family members typically oblivious to what we were going through

Vitor França Galvão In watching a ton of E Street Band live videos lately, I’ve come to the conclusion that Roy Bittan was the Boss’ not-so-secret weapon.

Love this and darkness album

@@RobJazzful You are more than right - remember that Bruce didn't send Mr. Roy away in 1989. Mr. Bittan went on with Bruce in "Human Touch" and "Lucky Town". Best wishes, Rob.

@@niallcarty5500 Great, great albuns, Niall. You have a very good taste. Best wishes from São Paulo, Brazil!

❤❤❤YES...Throw down YOUR GUN'S....USA

Heroj Ulice - 'Prljavog Kazališta' jasno se čuje direktan utjecaj Šefa na njih. Hero of the Street - 'Dirty Theater' you can hear the direct influence of The Boss on them.

I’ve always been observed what the connection was to that, thanks for sharing

It's want I do when someone ask me about music go and listen really really listen to Bruce Springsteen. Kid lived across the street from me like 20 years ago. I saw him a little while ago and he told me that I was right. Bruce Springsteen is a musical genius his songs tell a story.

Das ist eine tolle Nummer.

Yeah I agree! Stray Bullet it's like a B-Side from Point Blank

I'm 52 and I was 12 when I was blinded by his powerful music, poetry and I'm still enchanted and grateful to him. Tank a lot Bruce

Roberto Iaboli I’m 59. I saw him live when I was 20. It was a downpour, and he was AMAZING.

This was a live centerpiece for a year or two before The River - I think he introduces it as new here. I had it on a couple live bootlegs before the studio version came out.

@@MrOttoDefay Bruce had alot of material from 1975-78 that never saw the light of day or appeared on albums way more time later. As a singer songwriter, I would love just to see the unfinished songs, just as poems or ideas.

him and stevie used to go back and forth

Lyrics of the version played during the darkness tour changed every night but are really much stronger than that the definitive version realised in the River album!

The writing processes of Darkness On The Edge Of Town and The River were deeply intertwined. By late '77, Bruce and the E Street Band had recorded dozens of songs, but Bruce gave prevalence to the darker and harder rocking songs for the final tracklist of Darkness On The Edge Of Town, because he wanted this album to sound darker and less epic than Born To Run. Among the lighter, more rockabilly-sounding songs that were rejected at that time, many ended on The River, like Sherry Darling and Ramrod, because Bruce felt they belonged more in this record. Drive All Night and Independence Day were also written and recorded in '77 during the Darkness Session, and would have fitted perfectly on Darkness in my opinion, but they were kept for The River too. Then Bruce wrote further songs during the Darkness Tour '78 and premiered them during the latter part of the tour, like The Ties That Bind and Point Blank, which also ended on The River. The River wasn't even intended to be a double album, but a single album named The Ties That Bind, which was ready for release in late '79, but Bruce cancelled it at the last minute and went back in studio in '80 with a bunch of new songs. In the end The River is the result of 3 years of writing process ranging between the latter part of the Darkness Sessions in '77 and the last River Sessions of mid-'80. So this explains why many future River tracks were played during the Darkness Tour (The Ties That Bind, Independence Day, Sherry Darling and Point Blank regularly during the last months of the tour, and even Ramrod once in December '78), they were either new songs written in '78, or Darkness outtakes.

Thou speak the truth. He Is the Boss.

Without Elvis there is no Bruce.

Me too! I heard him sing it in Houston in 12/78. It wasn’t even released until two years later on the river. You can find it on RU-vid, and I remember when he raised his hand at the end of the song, and the lights went out!

O cara se entrega no palco como nenhum outro
