Over the course of the Born to Run Tour, Bruce soundchecked &#8220;Needles and Pins&#8221; three different times that we know of&#8211;in February, July, and December.<\/p>\n<p>Given how rare it is for us to have a setlist (much less a recording) of a soundcheck from that era, it&#8217;s likely that Bruce rehearsed it regularly throughout 1975.<\/p>\n<p>Why didn&#8217;t he actually play it during a show? I have no idea. But we&#8217;re fortunate to at least have one recording (albeit a muffled one) of Bruce playing this early rock classic. Take a listen to Bruce playing &#8220;Needles and Pins&#8221; at his soundcheck in Geneva, New York, on July 22, 1975.<\/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\/zaANhuBBSzc?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><strong>Bonus:<\/strong> here&#8217;s a clearer recording from a soundcheck earlier in the year: February 23rd at the Westbury Music Fair.
