However - I think the version of The River on Live in New York City (2000) is one of the best ever. Many Bruce fans dislike it since it deviates from the original - I think it's inspired.

The Live In NYC version is good, and would be a perfect piece of music for film noir - but to me, that harmonica intro of the original is just a magical piece of music. Perhaps one of the greatest instrument intros ever.
I remember being in Glasgow, not expecting to hear the amazing song, and then suddenly that harmonica intro just started. Nearly brought tears to my eyes, I tells you. And come to think of it, I don't think I've ever heard a bad or off recording of that song - just some are better than others

So we can agree The River performed live is always magical despite how Bruce decides to play it?
 I salute you, TS

It's interesting that Bruce can mess around with classic songs and his fans embrace them (mostly). If Bon Jovi messes with a classic it is usually not accepted. The 2007 arena version of Reason to Believe was as far from the acoustic original as possible - and it might have been the best version yet.

I so enjoyed that version. He played it as well in Arnhem when he was sick and everybody was like. This sounds cool, what is it.
Also cool to see that Johnny 99 returns every concert as a different version. I like all of the versions. The Seeger Sessions version is also very nice to hear and hear and hear Bruce's keeps the power of the song where Bon Jovi leaves it out and therefore ruining the song. I salute you, TS
