Visitation At Fort Horn

VISITATION AT FORT HORN 7:44 BTF / PS / EY / UNE / VAFH / MPD / AT

Note: "Visitation At Fort Horn" is a solo acoustic number left off the Greetings album, recorded June 27, 1972. This very same recording was later utilized as a publishing demo by Laurel Canyon. Occasionally known as "Visitation At Fort Horne", even on internal documentation, but it was registered with the U.S. Copyright Office in 1999 under the correct title. "Visitation" was bumped from the Greetings LP to make way for last minute additions "Blinded By The Light" and "Spirit In The Night", but an album acetate from late 1972 indicates it was also considered alongside those songs, replacing "It's Hard To Be A Saint In The City" as the final song on the second side. This may have been at Mike Appell's will, but in the end Springsteen's desire won out and "It's Hard To Be A Saint In The City" got the final nod. Performed by Bruce live at least a couple of times during the August 1972–January 1973 period, although no live audio is circulating. The title song of the bootleg 'American Tune' is actually a bad copy of this track. Where they got the Steel Mill story and January 13, 1970 date is anybody's guess.
