Listening to: Bruce Springsteen - Cadillac Ranch (The River Tour, Tempe 1980) - maybe the best live version of this song. Band's energy is off the charts.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dG3jc6fzPY …

The River tour is the point where Bruce & the band were playing every show as if they had an appointment with the gallows that could be postponed only so long as they stayed onstage.

I don’t love the The River album (a little too bloated and poppy for my liking), but the tour was the absolute zenith of the E Street Band live. Badlands is even more spectacular in 1980 than it was two years earlier.https://youtu.be/KDz62awS6qU

That's the version from the box set, which is straight fire. I think the band does Badlands better in '78, but Bruce's vocals are at their best in this version.

Also love the version from Barcelona in 1981. What an absolutely astounding performance. Love those European crowds too. Just wish the quality was better.https://youtu.be/Ez1iJTJbib0

There's a reason Bruce has a special place in his heart for Barcelona.
