Nice! Interesting choice for a live version of this song from that era because the version from Houston in 1978 runs three minutes longer and is packed full of blistering guitar solos.
It's so great there's not only an early version of this song but a live one. Already Bruce had a good 2/3's or more of the makings of a would-be brilliant classic. So glad he and Smith were able to collaborate and get the finished lyric changes. Two remarkable spirits together and we got one for the ages. So happy this was uploaded.
Bruce wrote this song, but he wasn't completely satisfied with the lyrics and couldn't find anything to complete it. Patti Smith had just recorded an album but was looking for a song to make a single to play on the radio. The two artists had a common producer who introduced them, Patti asked Bruce if he had a song for her and Bruce proposed "Because the night", allowing her to change the lyrics if necessary. Patti Smith was a bit skeptical, but a night spent waiting for her boyfriend to call made her come up with new lyrics. Because the night became Patti Smith's biggest hit and Bruce still sings this song in concert today, although with its original lyrics
Awesome choice....
❤❤❤❤❤❤
