I was 16. Five of us kids took a the train together from Matawan to the Garden specifically to see Bruce. He came on last, the show ran late, and we were all worried we'd miss the last train back to home but we didn't want to leave. There were hundreds of us from the Jersey Shore, crammed in the exit vestibules, ready to run to the escalators the second he left the stage, but his encore was fabulous and went on so long. Every one of us stayed. Then we stampeded down to the train tracks, terrified that the train would be gone, but it WAITED! It waited for us. They KNEW! :) One of the best nights ever! :)
Northwestern U They lost the big game. Concert over. Encore over. House lights on. Some ppl departed but 2/3rds of the audience remained... yelling for Bruce. Half hour later he returned to the stage and played, and played. Not sure how long. An hour? Those days it seemed so spontaneous.
The young Bruce and E Street Band had the most awesome concerts ever!! They still put on great concerts, but man the energy you felt at the ones back in the 70s and 80s was just amazing!
My wife used to have a quote on her bulletin board from the Daily Telegraph (UK): "Is there any sound in popular music that is more exhilarating, more joyful, more uplifting, more life-affirming than that of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band in full flight?"
First time I heard of Bruce was in an exhilarating Jay Cocks article in Time magazine in 1978 when I was a wee teen. In Singapore, no one knew Bruce it seems in 1978. When I got the Darkness on the Edge of Town, I was totally wowed. The songs of rebellion, affirmation of faith and realism and fantasy with that raspy voice made my life bearable and much more. I didn’t need approval. I had Bruce.
I WAS THERE! 26 years old with the audience screaming: "Bruce, Bruce, Bruce" while the other performers were on stage. Bruce was the last act. Was a fan before this show. His energy may have waned a bit, but his lyrics are poetry and music is like no one else. Got me through many nights.
Mio babbo mi ha cresciuto nel mito di Bruce...rimpiango ancora di non essere andato con lui al concerto di San Siro nel 1985, ma avevo 12 anni ed ero intimorito al pensiero di trovarmi insieme ad una folla di 100.000 persone e decisi di non andare. Quando tornarono lui e il mio zio me ne parlarono con un entusiasmo che ricordo ancora oggi.
@@lupodelupis3672 Capisco il timore che ti ha trattenuto quella volta. Probabilmente anch'io avrei rinunciato ad andare, per gli stessi tuoi motivi. Quello di positivo che ha prodotto il concerto, però, è stato uno dei ricordi più memorabili che tuo padre abbia mia custodito e, quella gioia, accompagna ancora anche te! Bruce è un bagno di conforto per i momenti pessimi e un profumo frizzante che guida le nostre giornate buone!
This was an amazing performance, 79‘s the first of many times I got to see the boss live. Are used to try to explain to people who weren’t Springsteen fans it’s a different type of energy, different type of vibe. I never could properly explain why I thought Bruce was the greatest live performer I’d ever seen. But there’s no doubt in my mind that he is. I will say this though ever since the big man is passed, I haven’t been able to go to another show. I don’t know that I will because to me a big man with so much a big part of the show and the music it wouldn’t be the same without him.
Steve, Don't cheat yourself out of something as truly wonderful as seeing Bruce live in concert. If you have a chance...GO!!! Clarence's nephew Jake does a fantastic job filling his uncle's shoes and Bruce and the band, although they're older (just like the rest of us), still put on a truly fantastic 3 hour show! (I just saw him 3 weeks ago in Pittsburgh and loved every single minute of it!)
Light's out tonight Trouble in the heartland Got a head-on collision Smashin' in my guts, man Caught in a crossfire That I don't understand But there's one thing I know for sure, girl I don't give a damn For the same old played out scenes I don't give a damn for just the in-betweens Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul I want control right now To talk about a dream, try to make it real You wake up in the night With a fear so real You spend your life waiting For a moment that just don't come Well don't waste your time waiting Badlands, you gotta live it everyday Let the broken hearts stand As the price you've gotta pay Keep pushin' 'til it's understood These badlands start treating us good Workin' in the field You get your back burned Workin' 'neath the wheels You get your facts learned Baby, I got my facts Learned real good right now You better get it straight, darlin' Poor man wanna be rich Rich man wanna be king And a king ain't satisfied 'Til he rules everything I wanna go out tonight I wanna find out what I got Well, I believe in the love that you gave me I believe in the faith that could save me I believe in the hope And I pray that some day It may raise me above these Badlands, you gotta live it everyday Let the broken hearts stand As the price you've gotta pay Keep pushin' 'til it's understood These badlands start treating us good Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa For the ones who had a notion A notion deep inside That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive I wanna find one face That ain't looking through me I wanna find one place I wanna spit in the face of these Badlands, you gotta live it everyday Let the broken hearts stand As the price you've gotta pay Keep pushin' til it's understood And these badlands start treating us good Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa badlands Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa badlands Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa badlands Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa badlands Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa How you doin' tonight?

Legendary and then some. Still the most phenomenal live act I've ever seen. The E Street Band never took a night off. Pure outright passion and joy running through every minute.
scott i saw him live & boy oh boy that was me in love :) not once did he go off that stage for a break or a change of clothing and the sun was belting down on him but myself & other fans love seeing him dripping lol .. he sung lulu's shout atleast for 6 mins .. the guys a legend .. im loving the idea of his new album in which iv'e prebooked . my gig of bruce is in my files .. his nearest tour to me is on my birthday in edinburgh i am hoping dates come out for hampden park again .. boy he rocked that stadium .. go bruce i say & boy he puts men of his age to shame lol .. he dont look his age & fit & boy can he shake that shimmy :)
@NRHR8735 That's good to hear!! I'm gonna see him in a few weeks for the 1st time. The last show that I anticipated as much was Paul McCatney (in 2017 - I think). I've seen several bands since then. I REALLY love the whole LIVE experience of going to shows. I know there will be no opening band, just 3.5 hrs Springsteen & the E Street Band. What more could I ask for - other than also winning the LOTTERY that day!!
Happy 73rd Birthday "Little / Miami" Steven Van Zandt. Steven Lento 11/ 22 /50. Watertown, Massachusett Solo artist, actor and activist. I like him in the Saprano's
He’s one of a kind and our generation is lucky to be living at the same time as the boss. His passion and songwriting have earned Bruce a spot in the “best of” category that will carry his music and legacy much longer than our short time on earth. Well done Bruce, well done.
Honestly, does/has any artist ever have the energy and passion that Mr Spingsteen has, along with a unbelievable ability to write these songs at that age Truly in my eyes the greatest singer song writer of all time. From a friend and fan Western Australia 🇦🇺
Extremely intense version of Badlands, man they just CHARGED through this song. This would be on the tail end of Darkness tour, they were out pretty much all of '78, so they were tight as the bark on a tree, but a ton of energy. Bruce and band still had a lot to prove at this point, and prove it they did.
I dont what it is but this song brings tears in to my eyes in a good way. I am only twenty years old and this song touches me. I think if you can write song that are relevant to younger generations almost fifty years later you must be a real genious. Bruce Springsteen music will live forever. Keep on rocking🤘
"Badlands" is the anthem of the working class, pure and simple. It was written to speak to all generations - those that came before us, and rhose who will come after.
Max Weinberg is amazing! Oh my God... incredible, 2022 and still burning. More Music, More Life, More Fire Bruce. We Love you. Come back in Italy soon.
I must say that was the best version of badlands I have ever heard. I love this song and I am a die hard fan of Bruce Springsteen and the E street band. Keep rocking Bruce!
Have you ever seen either of these? Without a doubt, two of the best I've seen him do. He is FUNNY!! th-cam.com/video/kmN4CNTni3I/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/0QWhPWBJPik/w-d-xo.html
That was EPIC. I don’t think I’ve ever seen or heard him play that better. He and they band announced right there that they had arrive finally and fully. His energy foot to the floor yet super precise…Pete Townsend whirling guitar strum flourishes, the consummate frontman…guitar hero…all rolled into one moment. I don’t think he was ever this good again…imho.
Listen, back in 1978 I slept on a sidewalk all night to get tickets to see him in a small venue and was a die-hard fan several years before this concert-- but with all due respect, his songbook-- which is amazing-- still pales in comparison to Dylan's. Pretty sure he would agree. That said, as this concert demonstrates, back in the late 70s and early 80s, he put on some of the most amazing concert shows ever, and as a performer, pretty sure Dylan would agree.
That is just so out-of-this-world brilliant. I really hope this concert film will be shown at movie theaters just like the original No Nukes movie was. That would be as close as we, who where to young at the time, could get to experience Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band live in their prime.
I grew up in a violent environment, and not everyone I grew up with made it out alive. That weight can be crushing, and one of the only things I have ever known that lifted that weight is hearing Bruce sing "It ain't no sin to be glad you're alive." It changes my life every time I hear it. - Jack McKissen
I use to like this song ..and thought Springsteen was a good performer.. wow was I wrong !.. this is one of the greatest songs off all time.. and Bruce is the greatest live act off all time .. why would anyone doubt that this man can heal your soul !!
How are you doing? Nice meeting you here. I appreciate you for being a great fan, it really means a lot to me. I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music 🎼
The No Nukes concerts took place over three nights. Of course they were covered by Rolling Stone magazine. The writer said, paraphrasing, that "there was something very different about the third night, palpable excitement, a feeling of electricity that was missing the first two nights. The difference was SPRINGSTEEN!"
The greatest Boss song, what energy Bruce brought out on this pure gold song. We will never again have a Bruce, just like a Elvis, Dylan or The Beatles.
How are you doing? Nice meeting you here. I appreciate you for being a great fan, it really means a lot to me. I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music 🎼
Hands down the best concert I have ever seen in person and I have seen him twice. I’ve never seen a better performer on stage since I never got to see Freddie Mercury live!
To the 20 people who disliked this!! Get off the channel and never come back. One of the greatest live performances by the band and a genius of our generation.
The energy level is through the ceiling and beyond. Wow! Wish they could go back to playing this (and other songs) in the same tempo they used to. It makes a bid difference in my opinion. A lot of the older songs suffer from being played way too slow today. Anyway - this is fantastic!
@@sunshine3914 Cool! I also think he has gotten better with age, in some ways. But - when it comes to playing older songs, like Badlands, Born to run and The promised land they lack a lot in energy/intensity nowadays. They need a certain level of attack or "hunger" - and though the slow pacing can work great for songs like The river - it just doesn't cut it for me when it comes to the more energetic songs.
@@ExileOnDaytonStreet Good example. I'm a musician (nerd) so I tend to notice these things. And I don't mean to ruin it for everybody else :-) But - if you listen to Badlands from Barcelona 2002 side by side with this, you can't avoid noticing the difference. And if you prefer the slower more "laid back" versions, cool, but I don't ;-)
Qu'est ce que j'aurai aimé qu'il sorte ça à l'époque ! Je n'avais que mes cassettes pirates ( la première, vers 1982-83, je crois) c'était déjà le graal mais avec ça...La jeunesse s'en est allée, pas la passion. Bruceeee!!!
I thank the Universe for being so kind and to bring us talented and outstanding musicians such as Bruce Springsteen an old time favourite. It brings me back in time my teen years. Wow how blessed we all are! ❤
Fantastic !!! Can't wait to see the DVD. I've already pre-ordered my Bruce Springsteen No Nukes 2 CD / DVD set. I saw him twice in the 70s, before this concert. Was at the Agora in Cleveland in 1974 and again at the Agora in 1978. The E Street Band ROCKS !!!
At 4:15 the power is palpable, one of the great lyrical rock lines ever. Poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be King, and a King ain't satisfied till he rules everything. So love this !!!!
How are you doing? Nice meeting you here. I appreciate you for being a great fan, it really means a lot to me. I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music 🎼

Another boisterous rocker from Bruce and the E Streeters. I especially loved Mighty Max absolutely ASSAULTING the kit while dressed in a gentlemanly shirt, tie and vest. Class.
Doesn't it feel like - because he only had a limited time to play - he puts even MORE ENERGY in each song than he does in his usual 4-hours-shows? He is on fire!!!!
CASE CLOSED ! THIS IS THE PROOF THAT BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E. STREET BAND ARE THE GREATEST LIVE ACT OF ALL TIME !!!! ( all caps because ..well , I'm screaming this! ) .. why is there even an option of a " thumbs down " ?.. it defies logic ..
How are you doing? Nice meeting you here. I appreciate you for being a great fan, it really means a lot to me. I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music 🎼
What a fucking time to be alive
Ain't no sin!
Baby I was born to run
I was 16. Five of us kids took a the train together from Matawan to the Garden specifically to see Bruce. He came on last, the show ran late, and we were all worried we'd miss the last train back to home but we didn't want to leave.

Sure! @@derrickswift4976
As someone who used to work for a train company, we usually would be notified by organisers if their concerts would be running late.
Great memories 🤙
@@LuqmanHakim-xi9qzaww popping the Magic Bubble are we? Lol 😉😘
Northwestern U
They lost the big game.
Concert over. Encore over. House lights on.
Some ppl departed but 2/3rds of the audience remained... yelling for Bruce.
Half hour later he returned to the stage and played, and played. Not sure how long. An hour?
Those days it seemed so spontaneous.
The young Bruce and E Street Band had the most awesome concerts ever!! They still put on great concerts, but man the energy you felt at the ones back in the 70s and 80s was just amazing!
Saw The Boss 1976, born to run tour. Best $6.00 I ever spent
First concert was in 1985 born in the USA tour. Unforgettable.
Max’s influence on this era of Springsteen’s music is under-appreciated. Huge change in vibe.
Very true!! He's on fire on the skins in this performance & on this tour. It makes a big difference to the whole sound 4Sure!!
“Poor man wants to be rich, rich man wants to be king” ain’t that the plain truth
And the King ain't satisfied, until he rules everything... 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
"and the king aint satisfied till he rules everything"
Capitalism has been good to comrade bruce
seeing Clarence in his iconic white 3 piece suit always makes me smile .. RIP big man
He's not far away. Too much spirit to abandon us here 😉
Nobody played sax with the presence of The Big Man.
My God, this is magnificent! He is actually singing our song!
Singing his ass off, young and hungry, gritty band. Love this perfomance.
My wife used to have a quote on her bulletin board from the Daily Telegraph (UK): "Is there any sound in popular music that is more exhilarating, more joyful, more uplifting, more life-affirming than that of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band in full flight?"
Soooooo true
Gosh hatecwhat u consider really as a joyful song
@@rickleitch1036 I'm missing something ;!!??
And my god there in full flight ✈️ ere
I want that on a t shirt.
There are three things I can watch forever: fire burning, water falling and The Boss performing.
Wow!! So true!

Wow that's what I call music and a wonderful singer
Light's out tonight
Trouble in the heartland
Got a head-on collision
Smashin' in my guts, man
Caught in a crossfire
That I don't understand
But there's one thing I know for sure, girl
I don't give a damn
For the same old played out scenes
I don't give a damn for just the in-betweens
Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul
I want control right now
To talk about a dream, try to make it real
You wake up in the night
With a fear so real
You spend your life waiting
For a moment that just don't come
Well don't waste your time waiting
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you've gotta pay
Keep pushin' 'til it's understood
These badlands start treating us good
Workin' in the field
You get your back burned
Workin' 'neath the wheels
You get your facts learned
Baby, I got my facts
Learned real good right now
You better get it straight, darlin'
Poor man wanna be rich
Rich man wanna be king
And a king ain't satisfied
'Til he rules everything
I wanna go out tonight
I wanna find out what I got
Well, I believe in the love that you gave me
I believe in the faith that could save me
I believe in the hope
And I pray that some day
It may raise me above these
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you've gotta pay
Keep pushin' 'til it's understood
These badlands start treating us good
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
For the ones who had a notion
A notion deep inside
That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive
I wanna find one face
That ain't looking through me
I wanna find one place
I wanna spit in the face of these
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you've gotta pay
Keep pushin' til it's understood
And these badlands start treating us good
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa badlands
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa badlands
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa badlands
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa badlands
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
How you doin' tonight?
That's good. Me too
I'd like to do this next song for, for John Hall and Graham Nash and Bonnie Raitt and Tom Campbell
They're the musicians who ah, had the conviction and the energy to, to put this together what we're doin' down here
And I did this for Jackson Browne and, and that little boy
Thank you for the lyrics!!
Such an iconic moment when the Big Man steps forward to take his solo.
Legendary and then some. Still the most phenomenal live act I've ever seen. The E Street Band never took a night off. Pure outright passion and joy running through every minute.

They don't call him The Boss for nothing.... He's one of the very few mega stars that can wade into a throbbing, screaming crowd ,solo.
Correva l'anno 1978 esce il suo terzo album DARKENESS THE EGE TONW da questo album BADLANS una delle canzoni canzoni più belle di Bruce Springsteen
I saw him in Houston for his Born to Run tour.
Can't believe he's 72 years old now. Forever young on TH-cam.
75 years old now. Saw him a few weeks ago and it was fucking incredible. Long live the E Street Band.

With all due respect, no comparison to this era of Bruce. We all age. This energy was unreal to see live.

The writer said, paraphrasing, that "there was something very different about the third night, palpable excitement, a feeling of electricity that was missing the first two nights. The difference was SPRINGSTEEN!"
So proud to say I was there....18 years old....witnessing legendary greatness.
This is for the ones who have a notion, a notion deep inside
That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive
Well said! I couldn't agree more .....
Have mercy.
You are so right.
😍
@@GBLondonuk ok
@@myklmusic yes
The greatest Boss song, what energy Bruce brought out on this pure gold song. We will never again have a Bruce, just like a Elvis, Dylan or The Beatles.
How are you doing? Nice meeting you here. I appreciate you for being a great fan, it really means a lot to me.
I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music 🎼
Hands down the best concert I have ever seen in person and I have seen him twice. I’ve never seen a better performer on stage since I never got to see Freddie Mercury live!
AGREE
Agree
Que linda música Amo
I guess you never saw Prince either.
@@candelise Not live and not since he,too,is dead…
To the 20 people who disliked this!! Get off the channel and never come back.
One of the greatest live performances by the band and a genius of our generation.
They are now 50 😂!!! They don't understand anything about music or life !!!🤔
Who cares about them?
We are more Than those dislikes
@@bjornpalsson8761 Sure ! Fortunately !!! 😏
Just feel sorry for them 😂
OMFG! That passion, that energy. And to this day, they give everything to the fans.
Einfach umwerfend! Auch heute noch eins meiner Lieblingslieder auf jedem verdammten Springsteen Konzert.😎 Komm bald mal wieder vorbei Boss!
The energy level is through the ceiling and beyond. Wow! Wish they could go back to playing this (and other songs) in the same tempo they used to. It makes a bid difference in my opinion. A lot of the older songs suffer from being played way too slow today. Anyway - this is fantastic!
I have to disagree. He’s gotten better with age. He didn’t hit his peak until his 60’s. IMO.
@@sunshine3914 Cool! I also think he has gotten better with age, in some ways. But - when it comes to playing older songs, like Badlands, Born to run and The promised land they lack a lot in energy/intensity nowadays. They need a certain level of attack or "hunger" - and though the slow pacing can work great for songs like The river - it just doesn't cut it for me when it comes to the more energetic songs.
@@godtblandet1833 Ramrod is definitely a song where the difference is SUPER noticeable
@@ExileOnDaytonStreet Good example. I'm a musician (nerd) so I tend to notice these things. And I don't mean to ruin it for everybody else :-) But - if you listen to Badlands from Barcelona 2002 side by side with this, you can't avoid noticing the difference. And if you prefer the slower more "laid back" versions, cool, but I don't ;-)
It's called aging. :(
Pure rock'n'roll, simple, static and strong - about struggle and pain, about love and hope.
Qu'est ce que j'aurai aimé qu'il sorte ça à l'époque ! Je n'avais que mes cassettes pirates ( la première, vers 1982-83, je crois) c'était déjà le graal mais avec ça...La jeunesse s'en est allée, pas la passion. Bruceeee!!!
Explosive performance by the greatest rocker of all time! Period!
Epic performance. Keep the faith, Bruce. Never stop.
The energy, the beauty of the lyrics, the amazing concert - the same Bruce we will always love!
I thank the Universe for being so kind and to bring us talented and outstanding musicians such as Bruce Springsteen an old time favourite. It brings me back in time my teen years. Wow how blessed we all are! ❤
Fantastic !!! Can't wait to see the DVD. I've already pre-ordered my Bruce Springsteen No Nukes 2 CD / DVD set. I saw him twice in the 70s, before this concert. Was at the Agora in Cleveland in 1974 and again at the Agora in 1978. The E Street Band ROCKS !!!
my legend....I see in Giants Stadium in 1985..i'm Italian , my cousins in New Jersey...Dancing in the Dark is Legend
Wonderful Bruce Springsteen 🎸🤗❤
He’s a BADASS!! WHOAOHOHOH!!
BADASS!! 🎸🎹🎤🥁🎷
BAADASSS!! YOU GOTTA LIVE IT EVERYDAY!! AND BRUCE DOES HAS AND CONTINUES!!
BAAADAAAASS!!!
WHOHOOHOHIH🎷🎸🎹🎤
At 4:15 the power is palpable, one of the great lyrical rock lines ever. Poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be King, and a King ain't satisfied till he rules everything. So love this !!!!
I've learned more from a 3 minute record, than I ever learned in books...... B Springsteen.
Amazing Bruce

I know this song has become a huge crowd-pleasing fist-pumping chant-along monster, but man I miss the ferocity of these earlier versions.

Amo questa canzone!una grande performance!grazieeeeeeeeeeeee! 😍😍🤩🤩😘😘🎶🎸🎶💘♥️💔💯💯💯💯
My word, that is excellent. What a band!
Trough the centuries, you remain the best, amazing Bruce, I love you so much.
How he could keep his throat together for a long whole tour is beyond me
He is possessed
And for, um, 45 more years since this night !!!
The definition of Jersey Rock & Soul .... God Bless Asbury Park, where Bruce turned the water into wine.
Another boisterous rocker from Bruce and the E Streeters. I especially loved Mighty Max absolutely ASSAULTING the kit while dressed in a gentlemanly shirt, tie and vest. Class.
Definitely one of his best songs to see live, love the energy of this performance ❤
Men rise and fall like the winter wheat but some names will remain. Let them say I lived in the time of Springsteen.
Doesn't it feel like - because he only had a limited time to play - he puts even MORE ENERGY in each song than he does in his usual 4-hours-shows? He is on fire!!!!
Yes good sir 😁
This was the level of energy he and the band maintained throughout the entire concerts. It was amazing. Saw him 14 x back in the day.
THE BOSS XXXX
CASE CLOSED ! THIS IS THE PROOF THAT BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND THE E. STREET BAND ARE THE GREATEST LIVE ACT OF ALL TIME !!!! ( all caps because ..well , I'm screaming this! ) .. why is there even an option of a " thumbs down " ?.. it defies logic ..
the drumming of max...he hits them hard
How are you doing? Nice meeting you here. I appreciate you for being a great fan, it really means a lot to me.
I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music 🎼
Amazing
Exciting
Super
Ultra
