The cosmic kid, in full costume dress

Carrie and I were discussing favorite Springsteen songs the other day, after his performance at the Super Bowl. We're both fans of the early Springsteen era, with our interest peaking around the time of the Born To Run album.

Here's Bruce in 1972, at the Gaslight, captured by a deeply amateurish videographer, singing one of our favorite songs from that era. This would have been roughly a year before his first major label recording, Greetings from Asbury Park, NJ, was released... and this song was on it, the second track on side 1.
