Intro to "Wreck on the Highway"
´´(John Wesley Harding: ´We´d like to finish up with something a little bit special and, uh, a new friend, friend of mine´s come to sing, uh, Bruce Springsteen´…I thought you weren´t coming´) I used the one with the bad battery…(J.W.Harding: ´They thought I was joking (?)…. we´ll leave you with this one….didn´t actually rehearse or anything)….´´

February 2017 Interview

"It's hard to remember what precisely even happened - though I do remember how it happened - because I don't think we rehearsed up in that backstage room at McCabe's, and he was using my guitar; I think we just started singing and I gravitated towards the melody and he very kindly took the harmony. And then he played a wonderful guitar solo; and even more amazingly, it was all taped and then he allowed me to use it. Truth is, I also have a video of it and, because a performance video was being shot that night, by coincidence, there is also Super 8 footage, so we could edit all together at some point. I'll do a Kickstarter. Joking. […] As to why we played that song, it's certainly because I suggested it, because I love 'Wreck On The Highway,' and it's true that he didn't play it very often, though I'm not sure whether I'd have expertly known that."
