Notes

Live performance at Madison Square Garden, June/July 2000. Gear based on Springsteen's documented live rig from this period. No evidence of pedal use for the riff section; Springsteen typically used his Telecaster into a clean Fender Twin Reverb for rhythm parts. No evidence of Tom Morello or Nils Lofgren playing the main riff on this song/section.

Difficulty

The riff requires solid rhythm playing and dynamic control to achieve the edge-of-breakup tone, but does not involve complex techniques or fast passages.
