Lovely. This is the period when I first started listening to Bruce. Ragged voice, but killer band and heart.

thank you for this..have not heard in a Looooooonnnnng time....you can play the Boss every night and it is not too much ;-)
Ragged voice? I'd say it's Bruce at his false-harmonic best. This whole show is jaw-droppingly good, especially with the backstory of how the promoters all but said Jesus and his disciples were coming to town and Bruce got peeved (he went around pulling down the fliers). I've been playing music over thirty years and one of my favorite things about touring was winning over a skeptical or doubting audience. You can feel that happening at this show (it doesn't take long). I also love seeing a band that is just that--a band, sensing things starting to take off to the next level. The looks Bruce has for his band mates is gold and something any musician can relate to. Bruce says on the commentary something to the effect that he'd still challenge any young band to put out that kind of energy and that kind of show. No smoke, explosions, big screens or impressive light show....let the music do the talking, baby. Thanks.

thanks for a rare video. growing up as a jersey shore boy in the 70's and 80's, I always liked Bruce's story telling even though his music was considerably uncool for us in those days.

I love this song, but, oddly enough, when it floats through my head I hear it as country. I'd like to hear Dwight Yoakam or Wayne Hancock take a crack at it.
The sax solo always sends a chill up my spine.
Steve Forbert
Romeo's Tune
Springsteen lite? I always thought so. Good tune, though.
The Boss and Tom Morello doing Ghost of Tom Joad. At the 6 minute mark... watch out. Amazing.

A terrific example of why I like studio better than live.
Ah, but that Clarence...sweetest sax ever...

Niiice!
BTW, who is this, really? mudshark is not a known sock-puppeteer, and neither is Stanley Rosenthal. I think it might be a stretch to think that you're sphinx or Aangus...So I'm guessin' that it's lafin gas. "Frank Lee Speekin" just seems so lafin gas!
Am I right?

i don't care what anyone ever says against springsteen. i'll always remember him as the fella who saved rock from disco.
born to run!
Amazing remix with some sweet ass-sick samples of guess which songs? Bet there are no takers in these here parts. Anyone?

Hi Andy! No, nobody named Frank here. ;)
Name the samples. I dare ya.
doesn't get much better than this one. clarence was great.
Danny boy, rest in peace.
Thank you for the memories....I got to be a "roadie" for one day on this tour at Miami Univ. Oxford, Ohio....3+ hour concert. BTR had just exploded and the band was still committed to playing small venues...one of the best concerts I have ever seen. They came out and played 4 songs without a break, then Bruce said, "you all can sit down, we are going to be here awhile".
Never forget my first Springsteen show (Born In The USA Tour '86) , I was first prepped with bootleg cassettes by a friend (when the boss unknowingly signed away his recording rights under a streetlamp to mike apel...bootlegs were how he got his new music out) of his shows and decided to sneak in my own little microcassette. I lasted 40 minutes until I was overtaken by the performance and the tapes were laying all over the floor and I only got 40 min of the concert. A Photographer friend who followed Springsteen for years and got GREAT concert shots told me one time he went to see the Boss and Bruce opened the show with...get this...Born To Run. He said after a half an hour he had to go outside and calm down...that's the impact of a Springsteen show. I was fortunate to see 7 shows...I envy those who got to follow him throughout the 70's and into the 80's.
Bruce lift's me up! And Danny Federici will never be forgotten. Spanish Johnny Drove In From The Underworld Last Night...With Bruised Arms And A Broken Rhythm In A Beat Up Old Buick...But Dressed Just Like Dynomite!

First saw The Boss in '76. Wanted to check out what all the excitement was about. Liked a few songs from BTR, but didn't have my hopes too high as I was an old school rocker (the Who was my previous concert before Bruce that year). That evening Bruce and the E Street just blew me away. Yes, his voice was strained and cracking by the time he did Jungleland (nearly 3 hr concert) but good God, what power and emotion.
If I were a musician and God told me "you can have one signature song as the epitome of your singing and writing skills -oh, and that song is Jungleland," that would be a fair deal.
I know Bruce is very popular, but I have just never been able to get into him. His guitar player was one of my favorite characters on The Sopranos, though.
Cant get over the SOUND ... no effects nothing bathed in tons of reverb and delay ....WOW.
Is this actually LIVE?
Contrast it with some Xtina concert and listen to the junk that smothers ...well ...the junk
I was at the last Giants Stadium concert a few weeks back, and he opened the encore with this - chills down my spine.
I love this song. First Boss I learned on the piano (by ear).
Urban folksinger.
Clarence Clemens is the luckiest mediocre saxophonist in the world.
The best song Springsteen ever wrote, or will write. A masterpiece for the ages.
And Clarence plays one of the best sax solo's ever.
