Nice photos for an album cover... Some lyrics about girls who just really aren't that exciting, maybe more confusing than anything else, but are around... The photos are more about two men enjoying their musical presence... Just as is described. Nice photos for an album cover...

you may think that a picture is worth a thousand words.. but... actually, a picture is worth a thousand rejects.. who would have thought that tons and tons of pictures were taken for the born to run album cover, and that one that we all know was just one from many pictures.. I like to look through this and imagine what it would be like if whatever picture I am looking at was chosen instead..

The first concert I ever saw was Springsteen, on the Born To Run tour. I thought everybody played for 3 hours. This is a great set of photos, along with some fannish text. From these photos came the album cover. Back when we had album covers big enough to see.

Fabulous pictures. I've always loved this album cover, and there's a wonderful essay included here that makes you take a much deeper look at what's going on, what's being said, in a deceptively simple photograph. Bruce channels Brando, Dean, Presley, and Pacino circa Serpico. Fabulous pictures.

A definitive look at the photo shoot for Born To Run, The additional photos let you see what Bruce was trying to get at and why the actual album cover works so well.
