Bruce Springsteen - Wings For Wheels (live @ the Main Point, 2-5-75)

This is a pre-Born To Run version of the song that would eventually become “Thunder Road.” It’s interesting to hear all the improvements that Springsteen made to the tune from the time of this concert to the recording for the album—mostly just editing the lyrics to tighten it up.

[This Main Point show is also probably one of the best 2 or 3 Springsteen bootlegs. Another favorite is August 9, 1978 @ the Agora in Cleveland, Ohio.]

"A good song takes years to find itself. When I go back and play ‘Thunder Road’ or something, I can sing very comfortably from my vantage point because a lot of the music was about a loss of innocence, there’s innocence contained in you but there’s also innocence in the process of being lost. And that was the country at the time I wrote that music. I wrote that music immediately preceding the end of the Vietnam war, when that feeling swept the country. A part of me was interested in music which contained that innocence, the Spector stuff, a lot of the Fifties and Sixties rock’n’roll, but I myself wasn’t one of those people. I realised I wasn’t one of my heroes, I was something else and I had to take that into consideration. So when I wrote that music and incorporated a lot of the things I loved from those particular years, I was also aware that I had to set in place something that acknowledged what had happened to me and everybody else where I lived."
