"Prove It All Night" has been a semi-regular selection in Springsteen and E Street Band concerts since its release. To Springsteen fans, by far the most famous arrangement of it occurred during their 1978 Tour, when it was reshaped into an eleven-minute epic with a long, howling guitar-over-piano introduction and a frenetic organ-and-guitar-over-drums outro. Excerpts of one such performance from a July 1, 1978, Berkeley Community Theatre show were heard during a syndicated radio interview with New York disc jockey Dave Herman on the "King Biscuit Flower Hour", and this version would become a fan favorite still referred to decades later; one of the criticisms of Springsteen's 1986 "&lt;a href="Live/1975-85"&gt;Live/1975-85&lt;/a&gt;" box set was that it omitted any such version of the song. Notably, the melody of the extended introduction has been said to have served as the basis for Patti Smith's 1979 song "Frederick", though this has not been verified by Smith. "Prove It All Night" was again performed in this arrangement on two occasions on the River Tour in November 1980. A live version of the song did finally appear on Springsteen's 2001 release "" documenting the Reunion Tour, as did a Rising Tour performance on the 2003 "Live in Barcelona" DVD, but both were in a shorter, more conventional treatment.
