Notes

Live performance, May 14, 2025, Manchester. Bruce's primary live guitar for classic E Street Band material. Amp is a vintage tweed Bassman, as consistently used onstage for decades. No direct evidence of pedal use for this specific song/section in 2025, but historic use of MXR Distortion+ and Echoplex for slapback is documented for similar live tones.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, syncopated strumming and dynamic control to maintain clarity with an edge-of-breakup tone, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
