"Springsteen had around 20 songs recorded during the High Hopes session that failed to make the final cut. "American Beauty" and "Hurry Up Sundown" were both leftover demo tracks that he didn't end up recording with producer Brendan O'Brien. The other two songs according to Springsteen, "Mary Mary" and "Hey Blue Eyes", were recorded during the Magic and Working on a Dream sessions, respectively.

"Springsteen said "they're just good music that didn't get onto this record, and was sitting there. I thought it's a nice time to support the record stores, which are dwindling and get some new music out at the same time""(Wikipedia).

Listen to "American Beauty"


On April 10, 2014, Springsteen opened his concert in Dallas, TX with an amazing cover of Van Halen's "Jump." The following video, courtesy of runawaydream on Youtube, has "Jump" then it goes right into "Badlands."
