Can you imagine being a young band, coming up, and having the fucking Boss tell you that he thinks your band is great? Nevermind fucking playing with you. Holy shit.
Bruce was asked who he would choose to step in if he couldn't sing (Bruce stood in for Bono once) he said either Bono or Brian Fallon, complete respect from Bruce, that's one huge compliment.
This video makes me heart smile. You can tell how much the whole band loves Bruce. Brian can barely sing he is smiling so big in some parts, the drummer has a shit eating grin… and Bruce is totalllllly ripping the guitar. LOVES IT!
+B White Late reply, but I knew from the moment I heard the Gaslight Anthem the first time that 'man, this band sounds a bit like Springsteen, are they a coverband or something?'. No, they're not a coverband.. They're a tribute band, paying freaking homage to Bruce in every sense of it, now with him on the stage in their own song!! I, LOVE, THIS!
This video alone got me hooked on Gaslight Anthem in August '09. Watched it while studying for my very last final of my college career in August '09. The very next day, after finishing my last test, I went to the store and bought The '59 Sound on CD. In my car, I then blasted the CD, windows down, along Ohio's 2-lane highways. The album instantly connected with my Bruce fandom, the ideas espoused in the BTR album. This album truly embodies the rebellious spirit of Rock and Roll.
At this point in their careers, they had like one record out and were relatively unknown still and here they have BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN singing with them on stage to one of THEIR songs. Amazing. (Yes this is a huge crowd, but I'm not convinced everyone knows The Gaslight Anthem at this point. This is a festival)
@@jre-1337 It's hard to find real performances these days. The first thing bands do, when they release a live performance on TH-cam, is re-master the sound, and edit errors out!
This was superb I was at this gig with my friend, we were close to the girl with the Greek flag and you can see us on the video for No Surrender when Brian joined Bruce on stage. I already loved Bruce but through this I discovered the Gaslight Anthem and feel in love with them fantastic! Happy memories. :-)
The old & new. Bruce & Brian. E-Street & the gaslight. Music is, and always will be genuine thanks to guys like these. May the E-street always stay lit thanks to the gaslights.
I was the this gig. bruce's rendition of 'Racing in the Streets' had old men weeping. the following day i happened to be at westfield shopping centre in shepherds bush (my one and only visit) having a cup of coffee when i realized brian fallon was wandering around outside the cafe speaking on a mobile phone. i waited until he'd finished talking and then went to shake his hand and thank him for the gig. i reflected that i had shaken the hand that had so recently shaken the hand of the boss.
I thought the same exact thing. Bruce is generous with his time with other artist. TH-cam is full of videos where The Boss shows up and raises the music cred for established performers and young up and coming artist alike. It would hard to name another star that gives back to the music community the way Bruce has.
chills everytime, always think of my friend who passed away to cancer and the times she was in hospital and i always picture her floating off smiling and free of pain, but leaving us all down here. RIP janet
I remember knowing The Gaslight Anthem and only knowing the 59 sound, At first i thought that's a sweet song. A couple of months later i found this video and noticed it said bruce springsteen i thought holy shit. I watched the video and could not believed what i had seen it was first time i ever got goosebumps from watching a video. 3 years later i still get goosebumps The Gaslight are without a doubt keeping real music alive.
WOW. Just the thought that the Boss would know I exist would surreal enough. But to have him tell me he likes my record? Incredible. That would be enough honestly. But the notion that he join my band onstage to play one of my songs? It wouldnt get much better than that. I always liked this song & am glad to see the Gaslight Anthem succeeding. Hats off to Brian & the band for getting to experience that moment. When the Boss joined you for 59 Sound. THAT WAS AWESOME!!! Gave me chills, too!!! cool.
It doesnt matter what song Bruce plays, if it's live or not, cover or one of his own.. It always sounds awesome. No matter what! He's just the best alive.
I saw them do this the previous afternoon at Glastonbury in a smallish marquee. Luckily I was down at the front and the roar when Bruce came on nearly lifted the whole tent skywards. One of spontaneous moments that will never be forgotten.
In 1972, Jon Landau commented on Bruce Springsteen's Colombia records audition tapes, "I have seen rock and roll future, and its name is Bruce Springsteen." In 2009, at the Hard Rock Calling festival in London, Bruce Springsteen commented on The Gaslight Anthem's performance, "I have seen the entire future the music of my children's generation, and its name is The Gaslight Anthem."
Wow.This is probably one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Not because of the Gaslight Anthem or because of Bruce Springsteen...but because you can practically see the singer's heart exploding out of his chest with joy and delight as he shares the mic with BRUCE FUCKING SPRINGSTEEN. I mean, COME ON!! The HUMANITY!!
I was there. Most awesome afternoon for ever - Bruce rocking it with the best new band in America. Brian came on and played on No Surrender with Bruce too. Legendary.
Can't stop looking. Wish I was there at that time. I'm an old lady, same age as Bruce, but I love the lyrics and music of Gaslight Anthem. Nothingh changes in all those years...............
They playing with the BOSS?! No way, man... this is killing me. It's too good to be true. I love these guys. I'm surprised, the stage didn't catch fire, with such an amount of legendary material performing on it :-)
Can you fucking imagine not only playing to a crowd that huge, but playing with your hero? The musician who inspired you since childhood, without whom you'd likely not be standing on that stage in the fucking first place?? THE BOSS
Want to stand out in a crowd? Bring a big blue and white flag. Man, that works. I actually had a chance meeting with Bruce in Calgary, Canada last week when he and Patti were in town for an equestrian event, and let me tell you......they are pure gold. What a kind and caring couple. They stopped at our table and talked for five minutes. He is totally genuine and a true gentleman.
I love the way that Brian interacts with the crowd. I've yet to see them live, but from all the live stuff I've seen on TH-cam you can feel that he gets a kick out of what he's doing.
brucie n anthem.......WOW .. listened 2 gaslight 1st at glsto n that wiz wen brucie headlined n they were amazin 2gether ... hope gaslight anthem makes it huge in britain... got the 59 sound album so hopefully ma friends wil appreciate them as much as i do....QUALITY xxx
I went to HRC kinda liking Bruce, but came away loving Bruce and discovering Gaslight Anthem and since then have downloaded a lot of their stuff and raved about them to friends.
Seeing them both singing into the mics and Brian not being able to stop grinning gives me shivers. Music is the most powerful thing I know.
Can you imagine being a young band, coming up, and having the fucking Boss tell you that he thinks your band is great? Nevermind fucking playing with you. Holy shit.
Mark Curran SRSLY!!! In the beginning when the singer is shaking his head I think he's thinking "FUCK! I'm playing with Bruce, better not fuck it up."
+MJmichand and Brian Fallon doesn't. He rocked it. With the fucking boss. You and I will never know that feeling.
+Mark Curran Imagine being the biggest band in the world and having Bruce tell you he likes your record!
Mark Curran this still gives me chills. Holy fuck.
Bruce was asked who he would choose to step in if he couldn't sing (Bruce stood in for Bono once) he said either Bono or Brian Fallon, complete respect from Bruce, that's one huge compliment.
Sauce?

I, LOVE, THIS!
i love how screaming "BRRRRUUUUUCCCEEEE" sounds like "BOOOOOOO"
BOOOOOUUURRRNNNSSS
Bruce is the most genuine high-profile musician there is. Just a great, humble dude.
he’s an elitist douche bag

the bossight anthem
This is not getting enough credit 😊😊😊
Alright Bruce break it down!
Can you imagine being able to yell that on stage.
riddmatt87 fuckin’ A right brotha!

the guitar part Bruce adds in the middle is actually beautiful
AdamCMcq44 he took a bit of a poop halfway through, but ya I agree.

I really envy all those people who have experienced this amazing moment. It gives me goosebumps every time I watch this video.
word
Watching this vid has literally been the best four and half minutes of my life.
This is Bruce at his finest: making somebody else look good; sound good: Steppin up
Still gets me choked up man, legends.
The old & new. Bruce & Brian. E-Street & the gaslight. Music is, and always will be genuine thanks to guys like these.
May the E-street always stay lit thanks to the gaslights.
Holy shit thats a hype comment

probebly the best thing i have ever watched in a music video
Drummers face at 3:34, haha He is loving it. That had to be an amazing feeling
I couldnt possibly be more happy for a band. Im so glad they made it. Their music deserves to be heard by millions.
Hahaha imagine the roar if that show was in Jersey
I hope you got to see these fellas playing American slang in jersey with Bruce!!! It’s in TH-cam bro
God I hope this can happen again one day
TylerPierson you and me both
I thought the same exact thing.
Bruce is generous with his time with other artist. TH-cam is full of videos where The Boss shows up and raises the music cred for established performers and young up and coming artist alike. It would hard to name another star that gives back to the music community the way Bruce has.
Bruce really needs to cover 59 Sound on his own.
wow didnt expect to see bruce playing 59 sound... hes lucky to play with gaslight anthem
chills everytime, always think of my friend who passed away to cancer and the times she was in hospital and i always picture her floating off smiling and free of pain, but leaving us all down here. RIP janet
Simply brilliant. Some fantastic bands and music have come out of NJ over the years....keep on rockin' New Jersey !!!

FALLON HAS THE COOLEST JERSEY ACCENT OF ALL TIME!
Being from jersey this video brought a huge smile to my face. Two groups I love one stage. Amazing!
I can not even describe this in words how this touches my feelings...
WOW. Just the thought that the Boss would know I exist would surreal enough. But to have him tell me he likes my record? Incredible. That would be enough honestly.

My head just exploded from the sheer amount of awesome on that stage.
I hope I look that good when I'm Bruce's age. Hell, I wish I looked that good now!
If you were up in the air about Bruce Springsteen this should’ve done the job. What an absolute legend.
I was there! "ask and ye shall recieve". such a great start to that day
Wow!
It doesnt matter what song Bruce plays, if it's live or not, cover or one of his own.. It always sounds awesome. No matter what! He's just the best alive.
59 Sound is such a great song. Could’ve easily been a hit song on Born to Run in the 70’s!
I saw them do this the previous afternoon at Glastonbury in a smallish marquee. Luckily I was down at the front and the roar when Bruce came on nearly lifted the whole tent skywards. One of spontaneous moments that will never be forgotten.
I like the gaslight anthem because it reminds me of bruce's older music! I have loved Bruce my whole life and still do and will!!! And I'm only 15!
Great song.... Great lyrics.
Love them both!! I saw Springsteen twice, and Gaslight once...just a week ago, love to see them again.

Wish i could have seen that performance...but I was still really happy to see them at the hard rock in wheatland a few months back =D

I was there. Most awesome afternoon for ever - Bruce rocking it with the best new band in America. Brian came on and played on No Surrender with Bruce too. Legendary.
He's got that grin on his face the whole time - can't believe the Boss is singing his song.
Can't stop looking. Wish I was there at that time. I'm an old lady, same age as Bruce, but I love the lyrics and music of Gaslight Anthem. Nothingh changes in all those years...............
If I’m not mistaken, that is pure joy on Brian’s face as he GET’S TO SHARE A MIC WITH BRUCE f-ing SPRINGSTEEN!!!!!!!!!
I saw this for the first time on Christmas Day. What a gift
Im a lifelong a massive bruce fan, a freind showed me this video and gaslight are now in my top 5, pure awesome
I cry every time I see this.
They playing with the BOSS?! No way, man... this is killing me. It's too good to be true. I love these guys. I'm surprised, the stage didn't catch fire, with such an amount of legendary material performing on it :-)
2:42 that’s it. That’s THE moment😁
CANNOT stop watching this video!!
Can you fucking imagine not only playing to a crowd that huge, but playing with your hero? The musician who inspired you since childhood, without whom you'd likely not be standing on that stage in the fucking first place??
THE BOSS
Fantastic live performance! Thanks!

I imagine there are few greater joys in life than having the opportunity to yell, "all right, break it down Bruce!"
I have watched this video so many times. I never get tired of. I'd like to see them tour together is some fashion. That would be the concert to see!
I don't get sick of this song. I don't get sick of Bruce either. Great stuff. I hope that TGA makes another great record.
Two of the greatest artists alive! Love this so much!
I love the way that Brian interacts with the crowd. I've yet to see them live, but from all the live stuff I've seen on TH-cam you can feel that he gets a kick out of what he's doing.
Oh gosh. I love you both
THis is great and it looks like they're having so much fun together!!
brucie n anthem.......WOW .. listened 2 gaslight 1st at glsto n that wiz wen brucie headlined n they were amazin 2gether ... hope gaslight anthem makes it huge in britain... got the 59 sound album so hopefully ma friends wil appreciate them as much as i do....QUALITY xxx
great band..great man...i can hear that song a 1000times..and more...
agree....Bruce is an American icon that will go down in history as one of this country's best voices
Missed this live as my mate was late so didn't get there until after Gaslight had finished. Still not forgiven him.
Goosebumps... God forbid, but if I ever lose a friend, I hope I'm able to write him something like this.
I went to HRC kinda liking Bruce, but came away loving Bruce and discovering Gaslight Anthem and since then have downloaded a lot of their stuff and raved about them to friends.
Listen to the lyrics. It's an amazing song...rather sentimental...about the passing of time and generations.
i heard my favourite song one last time
2:43 - that is what PURE JOY looks like
Love this video...so much emotion!
I grew up listening to Bruce (My mum's a massive fan) so that in a way introduced me to the Gaslight anthem and I'm pretty glad of that :)
i cannot comprehend how magical it must've been to witness this!
i was at this concert and these were the first time i heard tga live and they were the best band everrrrr !!!!
Thanks so much for posting this.
This makes me smile every single time I see it.
Agreed. The whole reason I started listening to them. They played with my hero.
Man, I hope I rock as hard as Bruce does when I'm 60...
Love it!!! My hubby & I love G.A , and I love Bruce...what could be better?
dude having bruce join you on stage is like winning the super bowl. You don't come back from that
So many things have been done since video and the internet. This is one of the great thing that have happened since then!
always great when the Boss joints in
The Boss what more can I say except thanks Bruce for all the great tunes and concerts! ; )
sick... i'm stunned. No words can describe this.
this is a great song ask and you shall receive
This video gives me goosebumps everytime I watch it. Great job Brian!
Gotta love the Boss- supporting young talent!
Still we sing with our Heroes..
