The above lyrics are for the live 18 Nov 2006 performance of JACOB'S LADDER at Point Theatre in Dublin, Ireland, during The Seeger Sessions Tour. The live 18 Nov 2006 version of JACOB'S LADDER was released on the Live In Dublin album and home video in 2007.
At the end of the Seeger Sessions Tour, the three-night stand at Point Theater in Dublin, Ireland, (17-18-19 Nov 2006) was filmed with nine High Definition cameras. A selection of 23 songs from these three nights was officially released on 05 Jun 2007 on the Live In Dublin album and home video, credited to "Bruce Springsteen With The Sessions Band". "Seeger" was dropped from the band's name for this release, apparently due to the fact that many of the songs are Springsteen originals from his earlier records, or covers that are not related to Pete Seeger.
Live In Dublin is available in four formats: 2-CD set, standard DVD, 2-CD/1-DVD combo set, and Blu-ray disc.
The album charted in several countries, but only made it to #1 in Ireland.

| Denmark | 5 | |
| Ireland | 1 | |

| Spain | 3 | |
| Sweden | 2 | |
| The Netherlands | 4 | |
