Jungleland

Springsteen wrote it, and it closes Born to Run (August 25, 1975, Columbia) at 9:33 on Wikipedia's count, 9:23 in his memoir. The first take was on January 8, 1974 at 914 Sound Studios in Blauvelt, New York; it debuted live at the Bottom Line on July 12, 1974, and final overdubs on July 14, 19 and 20, 1975 included Clarence Clemons's saxophone solo, which Clemons said took him sixteen hours. Producers were Springsteen and Mike Appel, with Jon Landau co-producing from April 1975. Suki Lahav played violin, Charles Calello arranged the strings, and Roy Bittan played piano. Wikipedia describes a young street figure's night from romance through gang life to violent death, and Springsteen's memoir calls it the album's climactic piece. Rolling Stone ranks it 298th among its 500 greatest songs.

The upload we hold is titled as a live version from New York City. It is almost certainly the Madison Square Garden recording of June 29 to July 1, 2000, released as Live in New York City on March 27, 2001 (Sony, produced by Springsteen and Chuck Plotkin), where it is track seven of the second disc at 10:54; the title does not state a date, so this is unconfirmed. The album reached 5 in the US and 12 in the UK. When Jungleland returned to the live set on the Wrecking Ball tour, Jake Clemons played the solo, first in Gothenburg on July 28, 2012.
