@@mime_exe yes it was the greatest time of be alive to be a teenager in the 70s. Growing up in north Philly i saw most of the great rock bands in the 70s. The who 5 times Bruce Springsteen 4 times queen with Freddy Aerosmith twice and Black Sabbath with Ozzy. Bob sege, r zz top i can go on and on. But the who was the best concert's and Bruce was right there with them. The greatest time to be alive and be a teenager. I wish I could go back to the 60s and 70s and just stay there.
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.
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?"
@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!!
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!
@johnmiller4282 That's amazing!! I was FINALLY in the right place at the right time this past year to see Bruce & the band live. It was the best $266(ish) I ever spent! Also, if you had bought a shirt at the show & kept it in near perfect condition, it'd probably be worth at least 10x of what I spent for the one I bought!!
@massimoMalizia-r8l I agree with you & everyone else in this post. Still, somehow, Jake taking over his spot made it a little easier, esp after some time had passed. When I 1st heard the news of his passing, I remember that being a sad day. But after seeing Jake take his spot, I felt happier because it was still in the family - & he DOES play that sax insanely well! To the O.P., seeing him in that white 3 piece suit definitely makes me smile, too!! Too cool for words!!
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.
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.
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.
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 🎼
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 :)
@dawnpeakman8456 I'm sorry to hear that you feel that way sometimes. & you're RIGHT!! SOMETIMES, it DOESN'T feel like that - but believe ME - It's a true statement. You have no reason to feel bad at ALL!! If you feel like you have to question that, please tell someone. Call a help line if needed. That's what they're there for!! I send smiles & happiness to you & I wish you ALL the BEST!! But it IS, NO SIN, to be glad you're alive. You deserve to be happy!! Take care & KNOW that I'm taking a moment to send happiness your way - & We have never met!! Peace!!
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.
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.

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.
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
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!)
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 🎼
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 ..
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.
Out of the MANY different live versions of this song - THIS one is By FAR my favorite. The whole band, & Bruces' vocals are SO ON POINT - MUSICALLY PERFECT!! An ANATOMICALLY PERFECT version!!
Hey 👋Lucky Fan I appreciate that you never stop supporting me.Feel free to contact me with the email address provided in the channel description.ONLY REAL FANS 💝🎉
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!"
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.
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 🇦🇺
Haha… My cousin practically sneaked out for his concerts back then .. his songs brings back certain memories each time I listen to them.. what is your favorite song from his album? 🙂
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.
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.
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 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!
Yeah about 40 years ago my sister was at one of his concerts she ran up on stage and grabbed his cap off his head one of those floppy Derby caps Bruce was cool about it though wish we still had it my brother went out to a bar drinking and somebody took it from him God bless Bruce Springsteen and God bless you all rock on Bruce the boss New Jersey man
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!!!

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!!
He is one hell of a drummer.Max the drummer And the saxophone player what more can you ask for.
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!

Holy crap, what a performance
Such an iconic moment when the Big Man steps forward to take his solo.
The year I was born. Bruce Springsteen is so much more than a rock legend...humanity owes him a great debt for his service to society.

I saw him twice in 78. Thats what it was like. Fantastic.

🔥 Fire!!!!
Just a week ago I finally got to see him perform this live and it was with every bit as much fire and soul as this was 43 years ago. Dude is unreal.
no way old man

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
The definition of Jersey Rock & Soul .... God Bless Asbury Park, where Bruce turned the water into wine.

Solo artist, actor and activist. I like him in the Saprano's
He is the greatest live performer in music history. Period.

Energy, passion, voice, real rock : timeless Bruce !! From Italy 🇮🇹🇺🇲
If you think you had fun at a Bruce concert check out how much fun Bruce had.
Wonderful Bruce Springsteen 🎸🤗❤
Einfach umwerfend! Auch heute noch eins meiner Lieblingslieder auf jedem verdammten Springsteen Konzert.😎 Komm bald mal wieder vorbei Boss!
Epic performance. Keep the faith, Bruce. Never stop.
THIS is what a real performer looks like.
Pure rock'n'roll, simple, static and strong - about struggle and pain, about love and hope.
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 🎼
Bruce's music comes from the Heart.😊
とにかく凄い、ライブがみたいよ日本にまた来て欲しい！
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!
Yeah about 40 years ago my sister was at one of his concerts she ran up on stage and grabbed his cap off his head one of those floppy Derby caps Bruce was cool about it though wish we still had it my brother went out to a bar drinking and somebody took it from him God bless Bruce Springsteen and God bless you all rock on Bruce the boss New Jersey man
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!!!
That energy is unreal.
We all were so much younger then.
Not me, I was born in 06 haha
Back in the days when music was great!
I agree except that Disco was still around at the same time.
Amazing Bruce
