demos

Springsteen was planning to flesh out the “Nebraska” demos with his band in New York, and spent a lot of time doing various versions of the songs, but didn’t like the feel of them.

As they toiled away at the Power Station in New York, Mr. Springsteen and his studio team could not improve upon the demos.

As I’ve often related since then, that was the only time I ever walked away from one of those demos thinking, “That will change my life, and I must have it.”

“The garage at the Beacon house got a new door, was sound-proofed, and that became their practice space and where they tracked all of their demos.”

It’s not surprising that robot demos seldom show humans interacting closely with walking robots.
