DOWNBOUND TRAIN

Early demo #1

Downbound Train
Da da da da...

This is a practice solo acoustic demo recorded at Springsteen's home in Colt's Neck, NJ, sometime between mid-Sep 1981 and May 1982 (most probably 1981), following the end of The River Tour. This short harmonies version is an early incarnation of the song. It is an unprofessional home cassette recording. It appears on The Lost Masters Vol. 10 bootleg.
