Note: "None But The Brave" was cut on June 6, 1983 at The Hit Factory, with follow-up sessions on June 13 and 27. V1a and V1b appear to be almost finished recordings with double-track vocals. They are said to be different mixes but are very similar, and any differences may be down to tape speed and recording source. V2 was a fresh vocal on June 27, and Miami Steve Van Zandt cutting loose on guitar that was probably added as a subsequent overdub. The lyrics are the same as V1a/b, aside from a small change in the third verse, replacing 'Something that ain't there no more' with 'Just waitin' to see you come walkin' through that door'. This alternate take was released on the bonus third CD of The Essential Bruce Springsteen in November 2003, and then played live for the first time at the 2003 Christmas shows in Asbury Park the following month.
