Yay. Courtney Cox's debut to the world. :) Yes, it's her.
Yes honey love it...I'll never forget...before anybody even knew who she was
I was going to mention Courtney😁❤
@@vonnyb9052 YEP lol
Wow..! You're old if you remember that..! Like me..!!
Ha! I wasn't a watcher of Friends, but did see a couple of episodes and I can remember watching the first and saying, "Hey, that looks like the girl from Dancing in the Dark."
His band is called The E Street Band. The black guy was Clarence Clemons, one of the best sax players ever. He died in 2011, and he was from my home state of Virginia. Also in the band is Steven Van Zandt, one of the stars of the TV show The Sopranos. He played Silvio Dante on that show.
right where he was talking about clarence, i was like Max wienburg is in the E street band...where is he, then that second it showed him (i know max from watching conan)
I was devastated when I heard Clarence died. He was an amazing and talented musician. I saw them in 1985 perform and Clarence came out dressed as Santa and Bruce did his version of Santa Clause is coming to town. Such an amazing concert that was, will never forget it. Even scalpel tickets to the show the next day at Giant Stadium in NJ
@@sodaandcookies1 Plus Max's son is the current drummer for the heavy metal band Slipknot.
@@debraricciardi2958 I saw The Big Man in 2002 and 2008. In 2008 you could see that he was in a great deal of pain, but, he kept up as much as he could. They had a special throne for him on stage so he could rest. Then in 2012, the band had a tribute to him during the concert.
@@visaman that’s so sad that he was in so much pain. He loved what he did so much that he pushed through it on stage. I wish I had seen them later on than just the 2 shows in I think it was 1985
That was Courtney Cox’s big “exposure break” that launched her career!
Don't forget the Tampax commercial! Where would she be without that?
@@janleonard3101 I believe that was the first commercial to say period.
@@bluedragon4 Yep!
And I've heard Alfonzo Ribeiro mention he channeled those dance moves for his "Charlton Dance"
Yep!
The sax player was the late Clarence Clemons, one of the GOATS. Springsteen's E Street Band was with him the whole time. Including the great Nils Lofgren. Thanks for reacting to this. Wonderful!
If I’m not mistaken the drummer later on went to be part of “The Conan O’Brien show”. Forget his name. Also, wasn’t “American Idol’s” Randy Jackson part of Bruce’s Band too?
Courtney Cox for sure, discovered here.
I was always a Seinfeld fan myself
"My Grandpa used to watch Friends" .. god I feel old now.
Cheers 🍺
This is why I've gotten so hooked on watching young folks react to the music I grew up on and which is part of my heart and soul. Rock on, ya'll!
Ouch, that hurt. Lol
Born To Run came out in 1975 when Bruce was 26. Dancing In The Dark came out in 1984 when he was 35. He's currently 72 years old and still performing to this day!
The Born To Run video they watched was the live version from the boxed set, so about the same time as Dancing In The Dark
My favorite album of Springsteen and the E Street Band is Darkness on the Edge of Town. In 1978 at 17 years old I saw the band at the Roxy in West Hollywood. It truly was a legendary concert.
Yes, he's still performing to this day, - on Broadway. Sold out every night.
Actually this song came out well after Born To Run; he was older here. He’s just FINE and gets better with age. They don’t call him The Boss for nothing; he is a true living legend, who is still going strong. Great reaction. That is Courtney Cox.
You are correct about the time frame in regard to the albums, however the Born To Run video was live footage taken from all over the world while on his Born In The USA tour in 84-85…..so he’s about the same age as this video (shot in St. Paul, MN - the 1st stop of that tour).
Born to Run video was from the 80's.
Didnt he have some facial hair in born to run? Cuz sometimes facial hair can makes some men look older & then clean shaven makes them look younger.
@@kimtalley4496 Maybe some stubble, at most. He may look younger due to the lighting, production and wardrobe. Dancing In The Dark was shot specifically for a music video (hence Courtney Cox as "the fan" being pulled from the crowd). The Born To Run video was from pieced together tour footage taken on the Born In The USA tour and released in conjunction with his boxed set Live 1975-85.
@@jonm7888 Born to Run album came out in 75. That tour was my first concert (I was 15).
Funny thing about Courtney Cox is she is from Alabama and became famous for acting like a New Yorker. I'm still telling you guys that you have to listen to Gerry Rafferty,-(Baker Street).
Baker Street is awesome!!
And "Right Down the Line"
Yes yes yes
Jerry Rafferty
Yeah what Josh said.
Baker Street👍🏾!!!!
This is Bruce in 1985 during the Born In The USA tour. The Sax player is the late great Clarence Clemons. The girl in the audience is Courtney Cox.
God I love this song. Apparently they wouldn’t let him have his guitar when they filmed this video because they wanted him to dance, so he was super self conscious. It’s amazing then that he has such great rhythm and that he’s really got the moves!
“HEY BABY”!!!!
Bruce is great he has many great songs. Another great singer who is blue collar like Bruce is John Cougar Mellencamp you should listen to his song Hurts So Good.
Little Pink Houses” is a great Mellencamp song!
Totally agree. Mellencamp is a must.
Yes. And Mellencamp has much better dance moves. I'd recommend "Crumblin' Down" for that reason.
authority song, the best
They reacted to Jack and Diane already. But I agree it's time for more.
The black guy, his sax player, was the legendary Clarence Clemons. He and Bruce were friends and musical collaborators for decades. And in case no one else has mentioned it, Bruce's nickname since the 70s has been "The Boss".
Clarence died in 2011, His son Jake now tours with the E Street Band.
STREETS OF PHILADELPHIA is a very moving and haunting song of his , and was the theme song for the movie Philadelphia starring Tom Hanks about AIDS .it came out in 1994 . Bruce won an academy award for the song for the movie and spoke out strongly , supporting people with AIDS back when it was it was a risk to do so. In this case I would say the official video is probably going to be better than a live performance.
Yes! Let's convince them this has to be next, to see a different side of Bruce!
I love the fact that it's just him and a camera walking around Philly. More powerful, I think, than any big choreographed video ever could be. Just Bruce being Bruce.
@@caretaker158 Thanks you said it better than I could !!
@@kenpaden hey, they don't call him "The Boss" for nothin', right?
That's a great song.
Bruce’s music just makes you feel so darn good!
Love watching you guys reacting to the music I grew up with. You’re right , life was good back then. We had our challenges but life was hopeful.
LOL "but life was hopeful" Now it's turned into a sh*t show, who'd have thunk?
The E Street Band is legendary. Clarence Clemons, the saxophone player, had a cameo in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Max Weinberg, the drummer, led his own band on Late Night With Conan O'Brien. And Steven Van Zandt, the guitarist, had a regular role on The Sopranos. p.s. yes, that is Courtney Cox.
Clarence Clemons also was in Fatal Instinct w/ Armand Assante. I believe that it's very funny and recommend that if you love stupidly funny movies that you check it out.
RIP Clarence Clemons
Bruce was torn to pieces when Clarence passed away.
All of this. Came here to say the same exact things.
Steven Van Zandt was gone from the band by the time this video was made. The guitarist you're seeing there in the background is his replacement, Nils Lofgren.
And yes, that is Courtney Cox.
Thar "black guy" is The Big Man, Clarence Clemons, who was closer to Bruce that a brother and started with him in 1972, on through to his way-too-early death in 2011.
Bruce's concerts were an endurance run - usually 4 hours of non-stop high energy that left you dazed, exhausted, and wondering what the hell just happened! :)
Yes indeed...saw them in their Born in the USA tour and the show was almost 4 1/2 hours with a 20-minute break where John (Cougar then) Mellencamp filed in!!!
I was blessed to see him in San Diego in 1978. Twice after in the early '80s. Best ever!
Best concert I ever saw was Springsteen in this era.
Hardest working band in the world. 4-5 hour concerts from him and the E Street Band.
Clarence Clemons, the Saxophonist, is simply the man. Unfortunately we lost this big, beautiful man exactly on this date a decade ago. He was my inspiration to take up the sax as a kid. May he rest in peace.
Clarence was the BEST. He also inspired my fiance to learn to play the Sax when he was young.
Watch for Clarence's nephew plying with the band now. He's making his uncle proud.
@@socaldave8630 Yes, he is.... I've seen him and he definitely is following in his uncles Huge footsteps, and filling them greatly.
@@socaldave8630 100% That man can blow!
Ashley the Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers, Phish All played for hours! The Phish Y2K concert they started playing at midnight and played till 7 AM nonstop. And that was a three day festival where they played two different times. It was on an Indian reservation in South Florida. Big Cypress. 110,000 people sex drugs and rock ‘n’ roll and no cops. They had a few reservation police that rode these enormous quarter horses and they came through the camping area a few times a day just to let people know if they were there if somebody needed anything. But they never interfered or bothering anyone. And there was no need for any police. Try that at all hard rock or heavy-metal concert! LOL you would have fights at those concerts with 10 people much less 110,000 people.
Bruce is famous for his 4 hour live shows, endless energy.
I certainly wish I had energy like that
I have seen this legend of a man live… and oh my. He is so amazing live! He was on 110% for over 4 hours!
Bruce kept all his guys as long as they were worthy and proved they could delivered. Family business, that's what a good band is built on!
Honestly, many hardcore springsteen fans cringed when this video dropped--because there were fears he might have sold out with a pop dance song (and him actually trying to dance). But later, Born in the USA, Glory Days, I'm On Fire, and My Hometown were released and that lifted him into superstardom and satiated his fans by assuring them he had not abandoned his blue collar style of music.
I saw him perform this in Toronto in "84 and he remained true to his blue collar roots with the concert held to help a local food bank.
It was his most mainstream commercial effort, ever, and damned if it wasn't just great. He lost nothing in making something that might have wider appeal.
wow ... you are exactly right ... I also cringed..
He didn't want to do it and fought with his manager over it but later he realized that women started to go to his concerts because this song. LOL
@@salmuscles the whole BORN IN THE USA album was different more main stream and "poppy" it just added to his legend as people realized he could play any style he wanted.
Born To Run was 1975. Dancing In The Dark was was 1984. He must just have been drinking the youth potion! (Or did you see him perform it from later in his career?)
yep!
Agreed. And yes, the Born to Run video they reacted to was a later live performance of it. 70’s Springsteen music is my fave!!
There is a video of him doing born to run live when he is much older ....born to run was in the 70s before music videos were a common thing
This video and the well known BTR video are same year. 1984. He recorded the live BTR video on the Born In The USA tour.
@@slimlouis6441 ohhhhh
Best quote,"My grandfather loved Friends." 😄 Courtney must never get tired of hearing that, - especially from a grown man with kids.
😅 👨👩👧👦 😊
" i lift this world off my shoulders, come on baby this laugh's on me" love that line and love this song by The Boss.
I'm somewhere in this audience--somewhere in the nosebleed seats. The video was filmed during the "Born In The USA" tour in 1984 at a stop in Saint Paul, MN. I remember they did the song twice, maybe to cover different camera angles...Springsteen is a phenomenal songwriter and performer. I love your channel and always look forward to your videos.
You should check out “I’m on Fire.” It’s a very sultry Bruce Springsteen. “Streets of Philadelphia” is another good one, which he wrote for the film “Philadelphia”.
Those are my 2 favorite songs from him.
I don't like "I'm on Fire"
"Hey, little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone?
I got a bad desire"
...
Oh, oh, oh
I'm on fire
...
"Tell me now, baby, is he good to you?
And can he do to you the things that I do?
Oh no, I can take you higher"
If they first line was different, the song would take a different path.
"Hey Deborah, is your husband home?" (or similar)
Sounds more adult, and less criminal child rapist that way.
@@kenf3539 I never thought of it like that. 🤔 Now I feel creepy that I loved that song all these years. Yikes. 😕
"Secret Garden" from Jerry McGuire is good too.
Both "Fire" & "I'm On Fire", they're the shit!
Sax player Clarence Clemons died 10 years ago of a stroke. One thing you'll see quite a bit with bands from the 70s is how many were integrated. The list is long. Check out Three Dog Night with "Black and White."
and his nephew Jake replaced him in the E-Street band
Amber and Jay should react to Clarence Clemons's song with Jackson Browne called You're A Friend Of Mine. Not only a good song but will also introduce them to Jackson Browne.❤️❤️❤️
@@akastarchild And more history, Jackson Browne was an original member of The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, left after a couple of years. Ended up living in a basement apartment underneath some guy named Don Henley.
Yes, "Never Been to Spain" Three Dog Night
@@timhelgeson7453 And they have barely started on the Eagles. No clue about Don, Glenn Fry, or Joe Walsh.
I've seen this man live twice, and he's exactly what you see in this video, energetic, passionate and one of the all time great performers
Clarence Anicholas Clemons Jr.
(January 11, 1942 - June 18, 2011), also known as The Big Man, was an American musician and actor. From 1972 until his death in 2011, he was the saxophonist for Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band.
Yes it’s Courtney Cox. Then she went off and played in the series “Misfits of Science”
Yes, that was Courtney Cox. Bruce's first two albums were both released in 1973. His first really successful album was the great Born to Run released in 1975. This song is from his magnificent Born in the U.S.A. album, released in 1984 and was the one where the man known as "The Boss" finally got the attention he deserved. My personal favorite is The Rising, released in 2002. His most recent album is Letter to You, released last year. That's right, he's been making albums for nearly half a century.
Most of his albums were recorded with the E Street Band and collectively they are often called Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band. The E Street Band has been around since before Springsteen's first album and many of its members have been with the band for multiple decades and they have worked with many other successful artists and released music of their own as well. Bruce's wife, Patty Scialfa, is a member of the band. Two of the original members, Danny Federici and Clarence "Big Man" Clemons have passed away. Clarence was the sax player on both songs to which you have reacted. His nephew, Jake Clemons, is now the saxophone player with the band.
You could spend a couple of months just reacting to Springsteen songs; you can pick one at random and the odds are it will be great. But the one I love the most is "The Rising," told from the perspective of a firefighter trying to rescue people in the towers on 9/11. Another great song off his most recent album is "Ghosts." And this isn't even beginning to scratch the surface of what he has created.
bruce is the boss for a reason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This song is from the album Born in the USA, which came out in 1984. Born to Run is from 1975, and it's one of his classics. Bruce did an awesome version of Santa Claus is Comin' to Town, with Clarence Clemons whaling on the sax. That would be fun to do at Christmas time.
Springsteen has so many moods, he can do them all. A favorite of mine is My Hometown.
The sax player is the late great Clarence Clemons. The girl dancing with him is Courtney Cox (from Friends)…this was a huge hit for him.
The River, for something heavier, or Glory Days, for something heavier but more upbeat. Bruce's lyrics capture human sadness so well.
Loved this song that featured Courtney Cox when it came out in 1984. Bruce's music career actually goes back to early 70s
I love watching y'all, all these songs are my jam! These are completely in my wheelhouse. Lol I answer all your questions (I have known all but 1 answer so far lol) and my dogs are enjoying "momma" explaining stuff to them.
Carry on and be excellent!
I lived through the 80s, today you can look up any song and hear it, back then you had MTV or the radio to hear new stuff then have to go out and buy the single or album
If you like Bruce, you should pay attention to this year's Olympics. His daughter, who he had with his wife Patti Scialfa, who is also in his band, is competing in the equestrian events. She's a horsewoman. The family has a farm in New Jersey with horses where she grew up.
Yes that was Courtney Cox. If I’m not mistaken, that was her first acting job.
This brings back my youth so muuuuch....it was just so fun...the music we had made it that way😁😁😁😁...next try "I'm on fire " by Bruce Springsteen R.I.P Clarence
He still regularly pops into The Stone Pony, a bar in Asbury Park NJ, and sometimes jams with whatever band is playing.
This song was the first single off of his Born in the USA album which came out in 84 and the crazy thing is that singles were still being released off of it in early 86! Born to run came out in 75 and it basically saved his career. He started in 73 with two different albums.
His band is The E Street Band and yes, that’s Courtney Cox!
TRUE FACT: When Alfonso Ribeiro created the Carlton Dance for "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," one of the things he used as inspiration was Bruce's dancing in this video.
That and the fact that Tom Jones actually danced very similar to that!!
Born to Run was Bruce's first hit, but the video is of him singing the song when he was older. Dancing... came later, on his mega-hit album Born in the USA. Fun song! And yes, that was Courtney Cox, in the video that made her famous.
Glad to see you young people enjoying my generations music ... I was born in 1950 and I am still rocking
“Born to Run” was one of Bruce’s first hits. You may have seen a later live version.
Yes, dancing in the DArk is a much newer song. Bruce was younger when Born to Run came out! So Cute!
"You can't start a fire worried 'bout your little world falling apart" .....T-Shirt worthy for sure.
That's a life lesson for sure. The Indigo Girls have a similar viewpoint in "Watershed": 'standing at the fork in the road, you can agonize until your agony is your heaviest load".
For me the ultimate "band sticks with a band member" is the Def Leppard story of the drummer losing his arm in a car accident. This was right after their album "Pyromania" became big in 1983. The band didn't even think about replacing him. They waited until he healed and then helped him figure out a way to be a one-armed drummer. This is why their next album "Hysteria" didn't come out until 1987. I suggest watching "Poor Some Sugar On Me" not only a great song and video in it's own right, but you get to see the drummer, Rick Allen, drumming with one arm. They are still playing and are an amazing band, not just because their music is awesome, but because they stuck with their mate, when many other bands would have found another drummer. That's loyalty!!
Hysteria came out in 1987. And if I recall correctly, that's pretty much all we listened to until like 1989
@@coreyjudd4676indeed! I graduated in 1988 and it was the soundtrack of my senior year!
Love is like a bomb......
@@coreyjudd4676 still listen to it
'Great song'?!?! That's as shi**y a song as I've ever heard. Utterly moronic as all hell. It's like some 14 yr. old w/a dirty mind wrote that garbage. Def Leppard sucked all the ass.
You should watch and listen to “I’m On Fire”. It’s young Bruce, but the song is SO sexy! Amber will be like Tom Jones who?
I don't like "I'm on Fire"
"Hey, little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone?
I got a bad desire"
...
Oh, oh, oh
I'm on fire
...
"Tell me now, baby, is he good to you?
And can he do to you the things that I do?
Oh no, I can take you higher"
If they first line was different, the song would take a different path.
"Hey Deborah, is your husband home?" (or similar)
Sounds more adult, and less criminal child rapist that way.
That said, I do like Bruce and saw one of his 3 hour concerts...
Nope. Comparing Tom Jones voice to Springsteen...good grief.
@@denroy3 lol, those are Amber’s two new crushes from the videos they’ve reviewed. I would never compare the two!
@@kenf3539 I agree. I love the song but a bit like a movie i loved through the years. Its getting harder to stomach. Gigi. Basically a older man grooming a kid.
Was lucky enough to see BRUUUUCE twice in the 80s. Always does over 3 hours and yep he always pulls a girl up for that part of song.
From what I just read Clarence heard them playing, walked up & said I wanna be in this band, Bruce said OK and the rest is history & yep it's CC
He's still amazing live. When I saw him at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival in 2014, he saw someone in the audience holding up a "Dance with old people" sign during this song. He reached down from his platform, took the sign, showed it to the audience, tossed it behind him, and then pulled up the older lady that was holding it and danced with her like he did with Courtney Cox in this video. That's far from the only amazing thing he did during that concert and when it was done, he was COVERED in sweat, breathing hard, and had put on one of the most amazing shows I have ever seen. He's in my top five performers I've ever seen live and I ABSOLUTELY recommend going to see him as soon as you get the chance.
This song came out years after "Born to Run." The "Born to Run" video you reacted to was from a much later concert. By the way, I've been to dozens of concerts and Bruce is still the best live act.
Amber would REALLY like “I’m on Fire”….Glory Days is another good tune too! Enjoy! 🤘🏻🇨🇦
I agree.
Definitely. Im on Fire is a must
Yes
I fourth this, apparently.
Edit: I am an idiot. I fifth this.
Yes yes yes l agree
😂 my grandpa used to watch Friends!
I was in HS when friends was around! 😝
I saw that tour in NY. 1984. At the time I was not a Bruce fan. I was into hard rock and jazz at the time. But liked this song. A friend got tickets, I asked "Why not?" One of the greatest concerts I have ever seen...and I have seen EVERYBODY....lol. He played for FOUR freaking hours!! It felt like ONE. There was an intermission after TWO! That is Bruce...I got that t shirt because of this video AT the show...he did like FIVE shows in a row at The Garden. Golden age in music.
It’s a deep catalog. Thunder Road and Rosalita is a good place to go next!
The Boss! No gimmicks, no bullshit, just ass kicking rock and roll. 🥰🥰🥰
This was Bruce trying to reinvent himself a bit, the time period where he married model/actress Julianne Phillips, worked out, the dancing, and wrote this very pop song which he knew would be a hit, the album was #1. This was after the very dark self-recorded album Nebraska he did without the band where he played all the instruments (which still hit #3).
Most of the songs on Born in the USA were "electric" versions of songs demoed for Nebraska. He recorded over 20 songs for the demo, then they recorded electric versions of all of them. Some were deemed to work better in the demo arrangement and were kept and released as Nebraska. The ones that worked with the full band were released as Born in the USA. Although some of the songs work equally as well in their original demo versions, such as Born in the USA, and he plays that song both ways in different concerts.
Best thing about Nebraska was Atlantic City....you could set the rest on fire.
LOL! here in Sept. 2024! "My grandfather used to watch Friends." OMG! I am so old! 🤣🤣🤣
The Boss brings it on - every single time. It's why we all had American flag patches on our bell bottoms. Yes, it is Courtney. You two keep digging. It gives me hope that our life will live on through these rockers. When you've seen 120 or more concerts, you'd see how truly raw and non auto tune we learned to breath with.
Check out "Born In The USA" that Bruce & the E Street band did in East Berlin, Germany in 1988. Because of this concert Bruce is given some of credit for the East Berlin wall coming down.
If you want to see another side of Bruce Springsteen and get a better idea of the depth of his talent there are several songs you can listen to; " The River", " The Streets of Philadelphia", or "The Rising"!!
The one that really gets to me is "Tougher Than the Rest".
Or ‘Racing in the Streets’.
Did you know the guy who played Silvio on the Sopranos is the guitar player for Springsteen? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Van_Zandt The guy who wears the banda if you see him. Also, the drummer Max Weinberg was the orchestra leader for the tonight show for many years. Bruce I think pretty much had the same band members his entire career. He started in the early 70's and I believe his break out song was "Rosaltita."The Sax player died a few years ago of natural causes. it's also rumoured but I can't confirm Bon Jovi was a roadie for him in the 70's.
Max was the drummer for Late Night with Conan O'Brien.....
Actually, Max was the bandleader for Conan O’Brien on Late Night.
Dude his band was VERY Different for the 1st 2 albums. David Sancious on Keyboards, Vinnie "Mad Dog" Lopez on Drums, Suzie Tyrell on Strings. Steve Van Zandt "Silvio" didnt come on board until the 3rd Album...same goes for Max Weinberg and Roy Bittan on Keys. Bon Jovi Was NOT a Roadie for Bruce. Bon Jovi didnt graduate Sayreville War Memorial High School until June 1979!!! What are you smoking?? Bad Info
Little Steven also played Frank " The Fixer " Tagliano in : " Lilyhammer ". Maybe you know one of his brothers in the last season...
@@billiondollarbaby3276 He said that he has had the same band for most of his career. Third album was almost 45 years ago so you are both right.
It's so amazing that you noticed his band members! There's the sax player Clarence Clemons, the other guitar player was Miami Steve, and he also got drummer Max Weinberg and pianist Professor Roy Bittan who played in most of Meatloaf's songs that you guys love!
2nd time I've watched this one and you made me cackle when you said your Grandpa use to watch friends. My 22 year old neice cried when the show ended. She was so little. I guess I'm old enough to be your Grandma. Thank you for the laugh.
You guys need to check out “the rising” by Bruce!! He wrote it after 9/11 and sang it at a fundraising concert for 9/11.
It is indeed Courtney Cox. Her whole career started due to this music video
I thought he randomly picked her out at that concert.
@@suecasso5489 she was absolutely planted there for the video.
Yes J, that was Courtney Cox! I think it was her 1st gig too. Lol Springsteen has so many good tunes! Y'all should react to Born in the USA. I'm so happy I found your channel in my nightly wanderings on TH-cam. Your reactions are so honest & fun to watch. Keep those bangers coming.
Rob I remember when you played “We Are the World.” When Springsteen sang his part, his energy shocked you.
Thunder road, Prove It All Night, Glory Days and my favorite Hungry Heart and so many good ones!! Love the sax can’t beat the Jersey Sound!!!! RIP Clearance Clemmons
Who knew that Bruce could do “The Carlton”. Or was Carlton doing “The Bruce “?
Alfonso Ribeiro stole the dance from this video. There's an interview out there where he says this. So, Carlton is doing "The Bruce".
😃🤣😀😂😆😄
It's not unusual..
Loved every minute of this, next you should listen to "Glory Days", 'Born in the U.S.A.', and yes that was the one and only Courtney Cox.
1984 is the time period of this video. Man, we miss Clarence "Big Man" Clements, one of the best sax players ever.
Amber when I heard you were crushing on Born To Run Bruce I knew you would love THIS Bruce!! You 2 are great fun!
I love your channel because you two represent the virtue of humility, as you gave recognition to the greats ,I salute you ,sir and maam
The late and great Clarence Clemons on sax.
A few notes:
1. Yes, that's Courtney Cox in one of her first national acting jobs, before she hit it big on Family Ties and then later Friends.
2. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band have been together since 1972 and have a long and deep history. Sadly sax player Clarence Clemons passed away in 2011. Clarence did play sax on Lady Gaga's EDGE OF GLORY in 2011 and he appears in the video. It was one of his last projects.
3. This video is from 1984 and the Born to Run clip you responded to was maybe 8 or 10 years EARLIER believe it or not.
Your right about the time Born To Run was realesed. It was back in 1975. But the official video is a live version and is taken from the Born In The USA tour (1984-85) and contains clips from this tour. So, in many of the clips, he's one year older than he was in the Dancing In The Dark video.
Born to Run was YOUNGER Bruce.....1975
I said it before and I'll say it again: Rosalita. TRUST ME.
100% Agree
Such good high school memories, Courtney Cox from Friends before she was famous🎶🎶🎶🔥🔥🔥😎❤️❤️
The saxofon player was Clarence Clemens "the big man", he was from the San Francisco Bay Area, and in the late eighties he played at a local club on a Sunday afternoon "Sweetwater", sadly he died some years back.
Bruce is so talented! He really loves his fans and he's gorgeous!!
His concerts are legend and he is one of America’s greatest storytellers. I saw him during the Born in the USA tour. 4 hours! It’s Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. There’s a recent (this year) Spotify podcast with Springsteen and Barack Obama on their new joint venture.
me too ! five encores !
Definitely the best live performance for me was the Born in the USA tour, which this song came from. Huge tour, we camped outside for a day and a half to get tickets! Which was a party and a half to boot. No opening band, they came on at 8pm played till midnight with a 20min intermission! The house lights were on for the last few songs. The arena people were trying to call him off stage but the band and us were not ready to end the fun. Amazing live!
same in TORONTO all 3 nights i will never forget those shows i had 4 tickets to each show
Have a lot of Bruce's music. All great and this is one of my favorites
Ive been lucky enough to have been to his home in Rumson and farm in Colts Neck NJ many times in the 90s. Great human. And that man on sax..the Big Man Clarence r.i.p. They get no better. Entire E Street Band.
I'm in covid lockdown at the moment so thank you so much for making my days brighter with your reactions, they truly bring a smile to my face.
I love his song Brilliant Disguise.
is that you, baby, or just a brilliant commenter? that whole album is great
Also, Springsteen’s“Tunnel Of Love” Sanford Townsend Band “Smoke From a Distant Fire” they were a one hit wonder and Looking Glass “Brandy” same thing, a one hit wonder! ♥️
I worked in an ER in Phoenix Az when this song came out. It reminds me of the young police officers working night shift.
This song came out when I worked in an Emergency Room in Phoenix Arizona. It reminds of all the young police officers working night shift.
True Bruce was not known for his dancing pretty much until this video - yes that's Cox (her 1st big professional gig) - this song was the 1st single from BORN IN THE USA which sent him into the stratosphere as a rock star (his career began in the early/mid-70s) and this was a COLOSSAL hit. Making him a household name. Yes Clarence Clemons - nicknamed The Big Man - was basically Bruce's brother in spirit until his sad passing a few yrs 10 yrs ago. His band THE E STREET BAND is pretty much is the same since the beginning. And yes it shows his character (even though Bruce took a break from them w/2 albums w/o them - except CC - in the 90s). Trivia note: Filmmaker Brian De Palma (CARRIE/MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE) helmed this vid.
RIP C. Clemmons. 🎷. Sat in with the Grateful Dead several times and also Jerry Garcia Band
If you were born back in the 70s or 80s you’d have to wait for all of these great songs to come out. The advantage of being around now is being able to listen to all of these classics on demand.
Yeah but you woke up every morning wondering what you were going to hear next. Literally a new album dropping every week from some great band
@@yaimavol True, there was nothing like top 40 stereo stations back in the day. It was truly magical. On the other side, I enjoy having a digital museum of any amazing song I want at my fingertips.
This came out in 1984 here in Australia, along with the Born in the USA album, really exploded after that.
Bruce and the e street band got their start in Ausbery park NJ and the bar they got their start in is called the Stone Pony. A buddy of my was a huge fan so he decided on day to drive from upstate ny to Ausbery park. When he sat down at the bar of the stone pone the bartender came over to ask what he wanted, the bar tender was stevie van zant, the guitarist for the e street band. My friend was shocked and got another shock, stevie told him bruce and the band was going to play that night and once it starts the doors are locked. He got a concert that went on for hours, had beers with bruce who even signed his boots..
