SAGA OF THE ARCHITECT ANGEL | 4:18 | US6 / EY / MT1 / GT / EDR |
Note: Written in 1972, using the melody from a 1971 Bruce Springsteen Band song, "Talkin' About My Baby". According to logs, recorded January 29 and 30, 1973 at a publishing demo session at 914 Sound Studios, then introduced live the following evening at Max's Kansas City in New York, where Bruce announced he "wrote it for John Wayne." The title appears on provisional lists for all three of The Wild & The Innocent, Born To Run, and Darkness On The Edge Of Town, but there is no evidence it was recorded for any of these.
