Because the night…
19-Apr-08
Sarah, Jeff, Demian, and I went to see Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band on Monday night. It was probably the greatest show I’ve ever seen. These were some of the best performers in the world doing the same thing they’ve been doing for forty some odd years. Below is a video that Sarah took with her point-and-shoot (impressive quality = large file, sorree). The song is “Because the Night.” The song was made famous by Patti Smith after Bruce passed it off to here when he couldn’t find a spot for it on Darkness on the Edge of Town. The song resurfaced when 10,000 Maniacs performed it on MTV Unplugged, which is probably where anyone my age first heard it. Enjoy!
