gooooodnessss.... i thought there was no way i would like this better than patti even tho this is his song but watching this....i just gotta say its reeeallly sexy
Really I agree with all these people....40 dislikes?! I adore this song by Patti and Bruce. This one is more gritty and working man which is what Bruce was the pure image of. Patti's was more lustful and sexually liberal which is equally amazing. Plus this is live and super well shot, just like being in Paris with the band.
I would have given my left arm to be there! It only makes sense that the man who wrote it performs it the best. God bless you 'Bruce Springsteen'! Niels and that awesome solo! Long live 'The E Street Band'!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really wish I were present when this man was on fire. You can't be indifferent and still to someone who does something meaningful with such great PASSION.
I love the way he throws his head x2935 times during this performance. That makes me throw my head. Or at least nod. I love the Boss and this song is brilliant!
I chose this song as my wedding song. We chose the 10,000 maniacs version due to the piano. We took one Rumba lession at a dance studio and we pulled off a great dance. I highly recommend it if you like Bruce and can dance a little bit.
I was so happy when I saw him on the current tour and he played this song. It's always been one of my favorite Bruce songs. The guitar solo is just incredible
Bruce wrote the song and music. She needed a single and Jimmy Iovine talked Bruce into letting her have it for her album. She changed a few lyrics. The part about the telephone is her lyrics. It would've fit nicely on Darkness On The Edge Of Town, but that shows you the genius of the Boss. If he doesn't want to be recognized for a certain song, he'll leave it off. For every song he put out, he probably set 5 aside.
Sorry to tell you this melondre, but it's Nils. I know because I was one of the cameramen on the month long European leg of the tour. The piano , drum and rear views of Bruce were my camera - best job ever!
Don't worry what others like or don't! Stop comparing yourself to others! Learn to love your experience for what it is and stop limiting your enjoyment whether others like it or not. Give freedom to others to hate or love, and you will have more freedom from hate to love.. . that simple
bruce can play the gitar, the piano and he is a great singer! this song is so wonderful! I was at his concert in paris one week ago and he played this song... its was so great!! he is a living legend and I hope he will rock a long long time!!
proud to have contributed 100+* views. this rendition is just...goosebumps! by the way, anyone notice how ripped bruce is? damn, he is looking good and shredding hard! #madprops #lovingit #thisisawesome
Thanks for posting this great Bruce Springsteen classic. The sheet music for Roy Bittan's wonderful piano part on "Because the Night" can be found at manymidi.com/sheetmusic.htm - a note-for-note transcription.
it's a great performance, you know it when you feel it. If you don't then you don't, there's so much out there, it's understandable. How could every single person have their particular expectations met that they happen to be carrying at any particular time? I think people who get hung up on the amount of dislikes have insecurities to look into. Basing enjoyment of something of anyting on whether others also like it or not displays a neediness and a hole in your ability to love.
@gianttitan12 again, too few realize that they co-wrote. "Desire is hunger, is the fire i breathe, Love is a banquet on which we feed" are not quite a springsteen lines. great song by both of them.
Springsteen wrote this song AND recorded it before giving it to Patti Smith. It was written for the Darkness on the Edge of Town album but never made it to vinyl because Bruce didn't think it fit the theme of the album. When they were recording in the same studio she heard it and wanted to record it so Bruce gave it to her. her total contribution was rewriting some of the verse lines to suit her style.
Who thinks such as me that this SONG is one of the most amazing songs ever? and this live is the best.. ???
Masterpiece! At any rate...and caught in that golden time, of '85!
His version from 1980 that is on Spotify is also worth a listen. Incredible take on this song.
Sorry, Bruce wrote it, and OWNS it. Amazing.
gooooodnessss....
i thought there was no way i would like this better than patti even tho this is his song but watching this....i just gotta say its reeeallly sexy
I was 20 and I was there with 70,000 people ... Happy!
My bad it was written, Parc de la Courneuve ...

BOSS
It's so powerful when Bruce's performing it...gives me shivers every time!
Never knew that he wrote this song until I saw him do it in concert. Boston Garden, December 1980, The River tour. An unreal time.
Happy Birthday to one of the greatest (and hottest) rocker of the entire world! God bless you, Bruce. A real MAN.
OMG Bruce Springsteen! I am so in love with this guy!
I love the way he throws his head x2935 times during this performance. That makes me throw my head. Or at least nod. I love the Boss and this song is brilliant!
drugs do that
IMO, this version sounds better than the one on Live 1975-85. Love the dueling guitars in the last few minutes.
wonderful song
One of the most beatufil songs abot lust!!
Absolutely the best song in the history of rock.
i am in love with this video! super hot guy with his guitar and seducive voice!!!!!! wub
I chose this song as my wedding song. We chose the 10,000 maniacs version due to the piano. We took one Rumba lession at a dance studio and we pulled off a great dance. I highly recommend it if you like Bruce and can dance a little bit.
never expected how many emotions could been put into one song- BOSS
I was so happy when I saw him on the current tour and he played this song. It's always been one of my favorite Bruce songs. The guitar solo is just incredible
This performance gives me all the feels.
Bruce is an amazing artist..a genius
But for me is also the sexiest man ever lived
Woooo Hoooo! The Boss did this song so good!!! Thanks for posting.
I was there in 85 and i'll be there end of June when he'll be with us again.
The faith remains the same, God bless you Boss
That piano at the start sends chills up my back. Amazing.
RIP BIG MAN THANKS FOR ALL YOU GAVE US SLEEP EASY MY BROTHER
I just love this! Such passion!
Awesome performance, his guitar playing had such feel back then . Thanks for posting.

fantastic version
wow! Paris 85... maybe the best version of this song. and this is a Bruce's song, it was a present for Patti...
Sorry to tell you this melondre, but it's Nils. I know because I was one of the cameramen on the month long European leg of the tour. The piano , drum and rear views of Bruce were my camera - best job ever!
Hi camera 4. I was the director. Good job.
Bruce Springsteen found and fulfilled his high calling - lucky him. How great to live life out to your utmost.

I love the way he plays the guitar ^^
I love both Patti's and Bruce's versions. They each interpret it in their own way. The lyric changes fit for each them
Bruce´s music belongs to the power of heart, rock´n roll & charisma!*****
best version I've ever heard of this song, by far- truly amazed there are 40 dislikes
The best performance ever! Bruce Springsteen is teh maestro! All right! 5*
Sheer genius. Springsteen stands alongside Dylan, The Stones, The Beatles, The Who, Elvis and all the other all time greats.
Amazing jamming. Takes it to a whole different level.

All the bast to The E street Band Bruce and hiFamily
this is great
Awesome in Dublin last week.
agreed. his talent is evident in "prove it all night" from '78 as well.
it's a great performance, you know it when you feel it. If you don't then you don't, there's so much out there, it's understandable.

Totally awesome! His wife is great at backup vocals.
bruce is finally coming to rome!!!! can't wait
AMAZING !!
the masterpiece...
Best live performance ever..
i love the solo from 3:01 to 3:21 the bends are amazing
Springsteen and Lofgren playing guitar in perfection - 4:19 and 4:36 brings tears to my eyes. Fucking brillant, one of the best songs ever.
OMFG brilliant.
thanks for posting.
@gianttitan12 again, too few realize that they co-wrote. "Desire is hunger, is the fire i breathe, Love is a banquet on which we feed" are not quite a springsteen lines. great song by both of them.
himself and lofgren catch fire in a huge way here.brilliant.
temazo, la mejor version de esta cancion, viva el jefe.
The Boss is simply the best!!!
not the best audio quality ive heard for this song but it is the only version which genuinely gave me chills when listening to it.
just listen and/or watch the one you like and don't worry about who's is better
HE IS THE GODDAMN MAN!!!!
Great song!!!
Simply The Boss
absolutely brilliant cover. The Boss at his imperious best.
What do you mean by cover?
He is the Boss
He is the Best!

well done bruce absolute legend
He got the muscles and all!
My favorate song from the Boss, second; "Blinded by the light"
Nils on that 61 Strat is excellent.
i don't just like this. I LOVE THIS!
Great ....
from 3.15 begins something that cannot be compared to anything else, great!
Moi aussi, j'y étais, gnagnagna... je ne m'en suis toujours remise ! (même après les 6 ou 7 concerts du Boss faits depuis juin 85)
Woohoo The Boss!
