This is cool - at least to the Springsteen friends in my world :-) WAGES OF SIN LIVE IN FINLAND, MAY 8, 2013 Of all the astounding whoda-ever-thought-hed-share-this-much developments of recent months, from live downloads and videos to selfies, an official live recording of Wages of Sin has to come in near the top. Mixed by Bob Clearmountain, no less. As posted in a Thom Zimny-edited video this morning on brucespringsteen.net, this 2013 rendition spotlighting Curt Ramm is the only live performance ever of what Bruce rightly calls one of my best and least known songs. Originally recorded with the E Street Band in 1982, during the early studio sessions for Born in the U.S.A., Wages of Sin surfaced 16 years later on Disc Two — Steves favorite Springsteen album — of Tracks. Bruce told the L.A. Times in 1998: That was a real find. I forgot I wrote it. It may have been one of those songs that cut too close to the bone at the time, so I put it to the side.... very often you have your own personal sensitivities about a particular piece of music or you may be uncomfortable with the way youve sung or what the song is about and you steer away from that a little bit, and I think thats what happened on that one.
