Every rendition of 'Beast of Burden' should go for eight minutes
Somehow, when I went to the family's house for lunch yesterday, my mom knew Springsteen had shown up at the Pony to jam with a friend. I knew it was high time to post this video, via a taper and Backstreets.
Bruce joined Texas rocker Alejandro Escovedo on stage a week or so ago, and an eight-minute Beast of Burden was the standout. They also played my spring song, Always a Friend, but it was a bit ramshackle. It was with the Stones where Bruce felt comfy. Had he stumbled in from the boardwalk that night, Keith would have approved of these solos.
I mean, come on, try to stay still during this song. Not possible. Try it. It's not possible. Baby, put me out, put me out, put me out of misery…
