Note: Written the night before the Greatest Hits sessions, all the above takes were recorded in early January 1995 at The Hit Factory, New York City with the E Street Band. "Blood Brothers" has many different arrangements, and it's clear that Springsteen was uncertain about which to use. V1 is a brief snippet shown in the video. V2a and V2b are slightly different mixes of the official video take. V3 (with session player Frank Pagano guesting on percussion instruments) was issued in 1995 on Greatest Hits. V4 is an alternate arrangement, and V5 is a rocking variation on the V3 arrangement. V6 (take #31) is very similar to the V3, slightly slower with small lyrical variations. V7 is the stirring "rock" version that many consider superior to V3 and was officially released as "Blood Brothers (Alternate Version)" in November 1996 on the Blood Brothers EP that was packaged with the Blood Brothers VHS.
V8 is an early work-in-progress take of the "rock" arrangement with some lyrical variation and an upfront accordion accompaniment. This arrangement does not have the a capella introduction, but instead opens with the full band and is take #20. V9 is the earliest complete take and is a different arrangement of the "rock" version with a melody very close to that of the Greatest Hits version. This take (#3) also has some lyrical variations, including "out on west end" rather than "out on the end" - a small variation that can be found in several of these versions. V10 features a quiet, downbeat arrangement and is take #9. V11 is performed by Bruce, Max, and Roy (on keyboards). This take (#18) features some lyrical variations and can perhaps be described as "Secret Garden"-ish. V12 is fascinating, and the arrangement can only be described as heavily Dylan-inspired with an organ riff that is very reminiscent of "Like A Rolling Stone". There's also plenty of harmonica and some lyrics that are unique to this arrangement. At the conclusion, Bruce says, "Well, that's the idea anyway!" This is the same arrangement found in V1. V13 is a cut work-in-progress of the Greatest Hits arrangement in a different key (D) with Bruce providing instruction and direction to the band. V14 is a stunning solo acoustic performance that is deserving of an official release.
