I know Bruce is a god around here but I honestly think Frankie gave it a good overhaul. Instrumentation is better and the note Holly hits on the last "born to run" totally rocks. I always feel the original is on the wrong speed, but in fairness I heard the FGTH version first, so that may have a bearing.

Friday Poll Thread #9 - Best "Born To Run"
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

No, I always made it clear in these threads that a neutral position denotes a vote for the KISS version.
Your vote has been noted.

To quote an old Wolter post about me...
You never have, and never will, understand anything about good music

Re: Friday Poll Thread #9 - Best "Born To Run"
That could well be true, but this poll isn't about good music so your comment isn't relevant.

Oh really? With whom? I thought the only gods around here were cheap, bloodless, sexless, soulless, whiny no-account acts, often British...

Is it just me or does the Frankie version intro sound like SEH?

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Hello,
Frankie loses due to better diction.
