Bruce Springsteen - Wings for Wheels - Widener Feb 1975

From Dangerous Minds: THE ONLY KNOWN VIDEO OF BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN PERFORMING THE NEVER RELEASED ‘WINGS FOR WHEELS'

This video footage is from a 1975 Bruce Springsteen concert at Widener College in Chester, Pennsylvania. Bruce is performing “Wings For Wheels” which was an earlier version of what was to become “Thunder Road.” It’s the only known filmed document of Springsteen performing the song.

In my opinion, this is sweeter and less bombastic, with a bit of the Spanish Harlem flavor of “Rosalita”, than what the tune eventually evolved into. Not to say that “Thunder Road” isn’t a classic.
