Live 29 Jun 2000 version
One, two, three, four!
Cold rain runnin' down the front of my shirt
I'm flat on my back, wheels in the dirt
Angel makes her face up out on Baker Street
She's straddling the shifter in my front seat
There's nothing to lose, it's a heartbreak, the deck's stacked
Put your foot to the floor and darling don't look back
Making night tracks through the blazing rain
Blowing pistons working the fast lane
Red line burning, pocket's full of cash
Angel writes her name in lipstick on my dash
There's nothing to lose, it's a bad break, baby we're backed
We'll blow off the doors and honey we won't look back
We held it in our heart in the pouring rain
Made it through the heart of a hurricane
Tore it apart and put it together again
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah-yeah yeah-yeah yeah-yeah yeah-yeah yeah
Angel won't you believe in love for me
Meet me tonight honey out in the street
We'll move with the city in the dark
You gotta walk it, talk it, in your heart
There's nothing to lose, it's a heartache, the deck's stacked
Put your foot to the floor now darling
Blow off the doors now baby
We'll even the score, honey we won't look back
Whoa whoa whoa whoa yeah
Whoa whoa yeah whoa yeah
Oh no no no no no
Whoa whoa yeah yeah
Oh no no no no no
Don't look back
Oh no no no no no
Baby don't look, don't look
Don't look, don't look
Don't look, don't look
Don't look, don't look
Don't look, don't look
Don't look, don't look
Don't look, don't look
Don't look, don't look back
Don't look, don't look
Don't look, don't look back
Don't look, don't look
The above lyrics are for the live 29 Jun 2000 performance of DON'T LOOK BACK at Madison Square Garden in New York City, NY, during The Reunion Tour. The lyrics for this version, as is the case for all The Reunion Tour performances, are very similar to the official studio version.
This live 29 Jun 2000 performance of DON'T LOOK BACK was part of the 2001 HBO special (read below), but was included on Live In New York City, both the album and the home video. The count-in, "One, two, three, four!", is edited out on the Live In New York City album, but is left intact on the home video release.
The 29 Jun 2000 show at Madison Square Garden in New York City, NY, was the ninth of ten consecutive shows at the arena that concluded The Reunion Tour. Some of this show aired as part of HBO's Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band: Live In New York City TV special and was subsequently included on the Live In New York City album and home video in 2001.
The Reunion Tour concluded with a ten-night stand at Madison Square Garden in New York City, NY, between 12 June and 01 July 2000. Footage from the last three nights (27 Jun, 29 Jun, and 01 Jul 2000) was used in early 2001 for HBO's Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band: Live In New York City TV special. Running at 90 minutes, the film consisted of a 14-song selection from the last two nights (29 Jun and 01 Jul 2000). It first aired on 07 Apr 2001 and was the first ever major televised Bruce Springsteen concert.
In 2001, HBO received six Emmy Award nominations and won two for their acclaimed film.
The full HBO broadcast was released on Live In New York City, both the album (released on 03 Apr 2001) and the home video (released on 06 Nov 2001). The album includes 6 bonus tracks (20 in all) and the home video includes an additional 5 plus one audio track that plays over the end credits (26 in all). These bonus tracks are taken from all three filmed nights (27 Jun, 29 Jun, and 01 Jul 2000) and were not part of the HBO broadcast.
