Chorus:
That always end up point blank
Shot between the eyes
Point blank
Like little white lies you tell to ease the pain
You're walking in the sights, girl
Of point blank
And it's one false move
And baby, the lights go out

All of this old live stuff brings me back when I was a kid. When listen to music was a private thing, often in my room, alone, turning off lights and be submerged by emotions. And no one else like Bruce is able to sing for the lonely people.

Were you listening with your eyes open or closed? ;-)

[@PanteraRosa68]

Right between the eyes...

[@alessandropino8479]

In 1985 when I First listen to this version I didn't understand english very well, and It was so different from the version on the River! 20 Years later I listened to all the version of the darkness tour ! The deepest lyrics ever written, expecially when you don't know where aim your guns because you've been shot in the back...

[@dylandream2248]

Yes, we transported ourselves with our stereos and our music locked in our rooms with family members typically oblivious to what we were going through

[@vitorfrancagalvao2077]

One of the great songs from The River - so beautiful that it hurts... and the piano of professor Roy Bittan... amazing. Bruce and The E Street Band: the soundtrack of my life. Greetings from São Paulo, Brazil!

[@RobJazzful]

Vitor França Galvão In watching a ton of E Street Band live videos lately, I’ve come to the conclusion that Roy Bittan was the Boss’ not-so-secret weapon.

[@niallcarty5500]

Love this and darkness album

[@vitorfrancagalvao2077]

@@RobJazzful You are more than right - remember that Bruce didn't send Mr. Roy away in 1989. Mr. Bittan went on with Bruce in "Human Touch" and "Lucky Town". Best wishes, Rob.

Was just thinking of this song today. Popped in my head. My favorite song from The River and one of my favorite Springsteen songs. This and My Hometown have been running around in my noggin.

[@lukebroadbent4935]

It is a real insight into the mind of Bruce when he writes lyrics this good and he says "No, I can do better".

Combine classical piano with a very personal ballad. Just brilliant. So hauntingly beautiful.

It's want I do when someone ask me about music go and listen really really listen to Bruce Springsteen. Kid lived across the street from me like 20 years ago. I saw him a little while ago and he told me that I was right. Bruce Springsteen is a musical genius his songs tell a story.

Born to Run changed my life as a teenager and pointed me in a new direction.

I first heard this song when I saw him in 1978 and I loved it…as a result I already knew the song when he released the river a couple of years later.

Bruce is magical -- an extraordinary singer, songwriter, and musician. A force of nature. His lyrics are much more than the typical fare of pop and rock music. They're meaningful. They're deep. IMO Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band is the best American group in my lifetime.

The arrangement around piano is just classical. It just makes it a beautiful ballad. Takes blues and rock to a different level. ABBA and Led Zep did it and it worked.

Brings back memories of all those wonderful Bootlegs that magically appeared around the mid and late 70s. Much better versions than the one's that eventually appeared on The River x

[@CosminNeagu]

I don't know if someone caught that, but this is from '78. The song was released in 1980, on The River. So this was written in the 'Darkness' era.

[@MrOttoDefay]

This was a live centerpiece for a year or two before The River - I think he introduces it as new here. I had it on a couple live bootlegs before the studio version came out.

[@CosminNeagu]

@@MrOttoDefay Bruce had alot of material from 1975-78 that never saw the light of day or appeared on albums way more time later. As a singer songwriter, I would love just to see the unfinished songs, just as poems or ideas.

[@josephm8078]

him and stevie used to go back and forth

[@alessandropino8479]

Lyrics of the version played during the darkness tour changed every night but are really much stronger than that the definitive version realised in the River album!

[@kasebmohamed5468]

The writing processes of Darkness On The Edge Of Town and The River were deeply intertwined. By late '77, Bruce and the E Street Band had recorded dozens of songs, but Bruce gave prevalence to the darker and harder rocking songs for the final tracklist of Darkness On The Edge Of Town, because he wanted this album to sound darker and less epic than Born To Run. Among the lighter, more rockabilly-sounding songs that were rejected at that time, many ended on The River, like Sherry Darling and Ramrod, because Bruce felt they belonged more in this record. Drive All Night and Independence Day were also written and recorded in '77 during the Darkness Session, and would have fitted perfectly on Darkness in my opinion, but they were kept for The River too. Then Bruce wrote further songs during the Darkness Tour '78 and premiered them during the latter part of the tour, like The Ties That Bind and Point Blank, which also ended on The River. The River wasn't even intended to be a double album, but a single album named The Ties That Bind, which was ready for release in late '79, but Bruce cancelled it at the last minute and went back in studio in '80 with a bunch of new songs. In the end The River is the result of 3 years of writing process ranging between the latter part of the Darkness Sessions in '77 and the last River Sessions of mid-'80. So this explains why many future River tracks were played during the Darkness Tour (The Ties That Bind, Independence Day, Sherry Darling and Point Blank regularly during the last months of the tour, and even Ramrod once in December '78), they were either new songs written in '78, or Darkness outtakes.
