Jackson Cage #2 Alternate version of "Jackson Cage" with different lyrics and different music.We are treated here to some endearing rehearsals of a tune that is many a Springsteen fans' favorite.As we have been blessed with more than a few alternate studio takes of this classic from "The River",it is very interesting to hear this song in its earliest of incarnations - and several different versions to boot(no pun intended)!! This portion of our set could be subtitled "The Evolution of Stolen Car"(which started on Volume 13 of The Lost Masters). Listen and hear four complete and fully realized takes,some slower than the others, some with different lyrics. A wonderful look into song construction.Compare these to the versions on "The River" and the other circulating studio versions -there are many interesting differences.More "behind the scenes" eavesdropping at an E Street Band rehearsal continues this edition -a lengthy session of run-throughs, various instrumental breaks, count-ins and vocal direction from Bruce on an unreleased tune called "Slow Fade".Bruce dominates the proceedings with lots of direction-giving, like "let's do the bridge".Interesting stuff.Two complete takes of "Jackson Cage" wind up this edition of the Lost Masters.Bearing scant relation to its released counterpart,these alternate rehearsal takes are very different,both lyrically and musically, to the version on "The River."
