Just curious to see if anybody is curious
trying to date 'Candy's House' as best as I can
'Candy's House'
Down To That House aka CANDY'S ROOM (NY '78) from Thrill Hill Blu-Ray
It looks like there are no links to be had of this video, Thrill Hill probably had it taken down
Here is the audio just to stir your memories
look at your DVDs when you get a chance, it is on The Promise - Thrill Hill Vault (1976-1978)
Candy's Room Demo 1:37 (NYC '78)
Bruce was reading from his note book
the Promise notebook
Jon Landau is standing next to his piano listening
it was record plant
i could tell
Bruce flipped a few pages
he was playing The Fast Song on piano
In the Night
all the rest will shine
you people laughing all the time
I Went Down To That House
That sits on the edge of Town
shining so fine and so white
go to the bridge
he goes
Tonight I got a feeling that I can't face
and Tonight I got a loneliness I can't erase
I got a hunger that drives me down
Down to the gates of the house
that waits on the edge of town
Feeding my fears
tonight
he goes
and For me for me
She's waiting
In the window I see her face
All the beauty that time can't erase
heading for the sun
heading for the light
tonight
This was not June or July 1977 because it was the Record Plant
forget NY '78 this is NY 1977
forget Candy's Boy too
this was before he combined them
which was Sept 1977
maybe this was mid-September
THIS IS ONLY FOR REFERENCE, ALL WRITTEN EARLIER

September 2, 1977 <<<< last take of CANDY'S BOY
Studio logs show the last take of Candy's Boy and The Fast Song were both on September 2, 1977
I wrote this for the Candy's Room entry on Brucebase
It appears The Fast Song went away after September 2, 1977, and re-emerged as CANDY'S ROOM on September 27. The lyrics of the first verse came from CANDY'S BOY, which was scuttled in September with lyrics going to CANDY'S ROOM (September 27), PROVE IT ALL NIGHT (September 14) and DRIVE ALL NIGHT. Candy’s Room also received lines from FRANKIE, and THE FAST SONG, the latter’s final verses adapted and modified to make up the final verses of Candy’s Room.
