DOWNBOUND TRAIN©Early demo #2I heard the whistle -- heard that whistle whine This is a practice solo acoustic demo recorded at Springsteen's home in Colt's Neck, NJ, sometime between mid-Sep and Dec 1981, following the end of The River tour. This is an unprofessional "work in progress" home cassette recording, and it appears on the Fist Full Of Dollars bootleg. On this demo, Bruce tries a finished verse with the rough vocal that will be Nebraska's trade of mark. In these 70 seconds, Bruce sings the verse that will close the final version of the song.
Check out early demo #1, which is another practice demo from the same period, and the Nebraska demo version, which is professionally recorded and much more developed. Also check the album's version (more details), the live versions (live 21 Jun 1985 version, live 11 Aug 1999 version, and live 25 Jun 2005 version), and the cover versions (The Smithereens' version, Raul Malo's version, and Kirk Kelly's version). |
