Here is the best early version (in my opinion) of "Something In The Night". It's from the November 4, 1976 show at the New York Palladium. The arrangement is much different from the one released on "Darkness On The Edge Of Town". What makes this my favorite early version is the trumpet playing of Steve Paraczky, who was a member of the Miami horns at the time. Of course I remastered this! So I believe this is the best sounding version on YouTube. I hope you enjoy it!!

Lyrics:
Well I'm riding down Kingsley figuring I'll get a drink
And I turn the radio way up loud so I don't have to think
And I take her to the floor looking for a moment when the world seems right
I end up tearing into the guts of something in the night

I picked this chick up hitch-hiking, she hung her head out the window and she screamed
Said she was looking for someplace to go, to die or be redeemed
said well you can ride 'til dawn, without another human being in sight
But baby everybody's gone looking for something in the night

She said she was born with nothing, said she was maybe better off that way
As soon as you got something, they send somebody to come along and try to take it away
She wants me to push this old car, she says together me and her, we could make it clean, we could make it fast, we could make it out of sight
We could surrender to the justice of something in the night

And I know that nothing is forgotten or forgiven, and you only got one time around
There's stuff running 'round my head, I can't live with or live down
And inside, inside all the big boys and the players, they sit around the tables and mumble about some vague, some vague wrong and right
While outside kids like us rumble, babe, over something in the night

And when we found the things we loved, and they were crushed and dying in the dirt
And me and her, we tried to pick up, pick up some of the pieces and get away fast without getting hurt
we should've known, because they caught us at the state line and burned our cars in one, in one last fire fight
And then they sent us running blind into the swamps, chasin' something in the night
Woahhh that something in the night
Woahhh that something in, in the night
Woahhh
