Employing an unusual (for a rock song) string octet, &#8220;Eleanor Rigby&#8221; is essentially a Paul McCartney vocal track with backgrounds from John and George.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"758\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HuS5NuXRb5Y?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p>Released in August 1966, &#8220;Eleanor Rigby&#8221; topped the UK singles chart and peaked at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was barely a year later when Bruce Springsteen&#8217;s high school band, The Castiles, decided to have a go at it.<\/p>\n<p>By the late summer of 1967, The Castiles were getting increasingly daring with their cover-filled sets as their confidence and competence grew. On the night of September 16, the lads played The Left Foot in Bruce&#8217;s home town of Freehold, and while Bruce had not yet evolved into the band&#8217;s permanent frontman, he demonstrated his guitar prowess that night by fearlessly tackling &#8220;Jeff&#8217;s Boogie&#8221; and &#8220;Purple Haze,&#8221; among others.<\/p>\n<p>But those songs were already guitar hero showcases. As the end of the show drew near, The Castiles launched into a cover of &#8220;Eleanor Rigby.&#8221; With no strings in sight, how would last summer&#8217;s big hit translate to the Left Foot stage?<\/p>\n<p>Pretty impressively, as it turns out. Take a listen to that night&#8217;s performance, captured and preserved on tape more than a half-century ago. You&#8217;ll hear Bruce&#8217;s band-mate George Theiss on lead vocals, but that&#8217;s Bruce on a very prominent lead guitar and backing vocals.<\/p>\n<div id=\"v-TJoHKklJ-1\" class=\"video-player\"><iframe title='VideoPress Video Player' aria-label='VideoPress Video Player' width='758' height='426' src='https:\/\/videopress.com\/embed\/TJoHKklJ?hd=1&amp;cover=1&amp;loop=0&amp;autoPlay=0&amp;permalink=1&amp;muted=0&amp;controls=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;useAverageColor=0&amp;preloadContent=metadata' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen data-resize-to-parent=\"true\" allow='clipboard-write; presentation'><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>What&#8217;s most impressive to me about that performance is the Indian-influenced arrangement&#8211;I&#8217;d love to know who came up with it and where the inspiration came from.
