This is the original, complete studio take of Born In The USA that made the record. Bruce talked about this moment in Born to Run;
“I counted off; I had lyrics, a great title, two chords, a synth riff, but no real arrangement. It was our second take. A marshall wash of sound poured into my headphones. I started signing. The band watched me closely for an on-the-fly arrangement and Max Weinberg gave his greatest recorded performance. Four minutes and thirty-nine seconds later “Born in the USA” was in the can. We set down our instruments, walked into the control room and listened to lightning in a bottle.”
