Bruce Springstein "the "BOSS".....Billy you took me to church on a Saturday morning with this song and took me back to my teen years in the '70's riding the back roads of Tennessee on a Saturday night with "the BOSS" blaring out of the car speakers. Thank you for all you do on here and the precious time you spend to bring us all the memories that music can evoke. Much LOVE from Tennesssee!!!
At 3:06 you asked about the singers. They are Bruce’s band mates. In order of appearance, after Bruce came Steven Van Zant (guitar), Nils Lofgren (guitar), Patti Scialfa (acoustic guitar, she is also Bruce’s wife), and the late great Clarence Clemons (saxophone)
You gotta understand Honey, most of us been listening to, following, seeing, Bruce since 1978. He is the soundtrack of our LIVES! The night Clarence Clemons died, we were in Florida & my family had walked down to the beach but I stayed back at the house, listening to the radio and it said Clarence had died. When my family got back, I was crying so hard I couldn't hardly even tell them why I was crying. When I finally got it out, my daughter said Oh Mommy! I'm so sorry, because she knows and my husband started crying too! Big Man is a BIG Angel now!!
You should check out Springsteen doing American Skin (41 shots). It was unreleased song that was about four officers shooting a guy they thought was reaching for a gun in New York. When he was going to play there he said he was going to feature the song. There was so much controversy that the police protested and none would work the show.. I’d love to see your reaction to it.
Someone asked....They're Clarence Clemons (forgot how pretty his voice was!), Steve Van Zandt and of course, Patti Scialfa, Bruce's wife, and, I think, Nils Lofgren, also of the E Street Band
I always thought Bruce and the band's very best songs were the slower, deeper, and more emotional ones and this beautiful track proves my theory. God love them all and God bless and rest 'The Big Man' Clarence Clemons. Taken from us all far too soon.
Each of the singers are band members, first was Bruce, second was Littlw Steven then Nils Lofgren singing with Bruce's wife Patty's. And the big man on Sax who sang was Clarence Clemons. Sadly Clarence had a stroke and died a few years ago. We're all still emotional about his loss.
The singers are members of his band, Little Steven (guitar), Nils Lofgren (guitar), Patti Scialfa (vocals, and also his wife) and the late Clarence Clemons (sax). This is absolutely a show stopper .
the e street band is huge. there’s a minimum of two members who didn’t sing, the keyboard player and the drummer. also clarence deserves more credit for his greatness on the sax than he gets. jungleland is my favorite song all time and clarence has a beautiful mournful sax solo. he will always be the king of the sax and he was called to join the band in heaven too soon.
Thanks for reacting to Bruce. Please react to some more. I put together a set of 10 Live recordings that show Springsteen’s diversity through the nearly 50 years he has been playing. I’m a Jersey Girl. I can’t help it. I am not suggesting you react to any of them or all of them. Just watch a couple and you will be like “Wow. What have I been listening to? How did I miss this?” Springsteen fans are incredibly devoted. My 37 trips to his shows (I did 6 one year) is nothing compared to fans who have seen 150+. My first was in 1980 but by last was in 2 years ago. I need a fix. His concerts are legendary. He sells out every show in minutes and his concerts will typically last 3.5 hours with sets of 25 songs or more. Bruce makes an unexplainable, indelible, even mystical, connection with his fans every single time he steps on stage.

Bruce Springsteen | Treat Her Right - Albany - 13/05/2014 (Multicam/Dubbed) - TH-cam Please show me a reaction to this one. I'm from germany and I love your reactions, and this one shows one more time, why Bruce is one of the best performers aof all time. Make my Day!
If you like Nils Lofgren’s singing voice, check out his solo stuff. He’s been around since the early 70’s with his band , Grin and as a solo performer. He has something like 40 albums. His voice is truly unique. He is also underrated as a guitarist.
Billy, You love this song, you should check out Springsteen and the E Street Band's entire album collection. Most importantly, The Rising. The album released and dedicated to the victims of 9/11. Truly breathtaking. If this song brought you to tears, just wait until you listen to "You're Missing".
Those folks are all long-time members of the mighty E Street Band. Not the best choice if you wanted to only evaluate Bruce Springsteen but they are, without exception, talented AF! Edit: loved your face when Clarence started his solo 😁
Thank you Billy! How serendipitous of you to play this now. I’ve just made my way to Austin to visit my brother. I know he’s waiting for me. Thank you.
Bruce, little Steven van Zandt, Nils Lofgren, Patti Scialfa, Big Man - Clarence Clemons..... Best version of this song, Big Man is waiting for them all.....
Lovely reaction to this. I first saw this band when I was 15, using my brother’s id to get into the club. Seen almost a hundred Bruce concerts since. I’d recommend the early club version of Rosalita ( come a little lighter) and the concert version of Ramrod. Good work, man, I’m a fan after 1.
I'm a huge Springsteen fan and am a fan of that song, however I've never actually seen that video before Anyway my man, I'd suggest giving Springsteen's Jungleland a listen, Clarence's best sax solo ever
If you want to hear amazing music listen to some Nils Lofgren. His albums from the early 80s are phenomenal. Songs like No Mercy, Baltimore and Keith Don't Go are remarkable.
This is a MASTERCLASS by Bruce and the entire E Street Band. It's magic from beginning to end.
I had this played at my wife’s funeral, beautiful song by Bruce Springsteen thanks for checking this out
I feel your pain. Hugs to you. I suggested this in memory of my little brother. It’s so special. 💔
Kim Field thank you so much Kim. My thoughts and hugs are with you and your family. Take care 💔
Tony Butler And I had it played at my beloved husband’s funeral, hope you are coping all right.
hey, hope both of you found peace
Everytime i see or listen to this version Clarence's solo always gets to me. Gone too soon
Yes. Yes.
@Nicole Jessica the short answer is the rest of the E Street Band.
@Nicole Jessica
Patti scialfa (bruce's wife) steve van zandt ,nils lofgren and clarence clemmons
@Nicole Jessica His wife, Patti, the rest are all members of his band, The E Street Band,
@Nicole Jessica This is the EStreet Band
So beautiful.. RIP 💗 Clarence.. you're in Heaven waiting for them. 💝
Love this particular version of the song. Each member of the E Street Band taking a verse. Perfect.
Bruce and his band have been together for decades. And their closeness, their bond is so clear in this song.
Bruce Springstein "the "BOSS".....Billy you took me to church on a Saturday morning with this song and took me back to my teen years in the '70's riding the back roads of Tennessee on a Saturday night with "the BOSS" blaring out of the car speakers.

Always makes me teary, especially since Clarence ad Danny are gone.
I think billy so emotional shows up so much, because in life we go through so much, and alot of songs help us to recover from heartache.
This is by far the best version of this song - no doubt about that.
At 3:06 you asked about the singers. They are Bruce’s band mates. In order of appearance, after Bruce came Steven Van Zant (guitar), Nils Lofgren (guitar), Patti Scialfa (acoustic guitar, she is also Bruce’s wife), and the late great Clarence Clemons (saxophone)

I'm so sorry, because she knows and my husband started crying too! Big Man is a BIG Angel now!!
This one absolutely slays me. It's raw and real. Simply beautiful
I've never not teared up when seeing this version
This is my all time favorite song. Love love love!❤️
My favorite thing about the E street band is that they have a pirate!
And the pirate is also a mobster on TV!!!
You should check out Springsteen doing American Skin (41 shots). It was unreleased song that was about four officers shooting a guy they thought was reaching for a gun in New York.

Thank you for having the insight to recognize what a masterpiece this performance was... love your open minded taste in music
This video has always been about how we all have to stand for something greater than oneself. Amongst your friends, you must stand and deliver!
This was played at my older brothers cremation last year after the Rona got him, he was my first hero and the man who got me into Springsteen
Someone asked....They're Clarence Clemons (forgot how pretty his voice was!), Steve Van Zandt and of course, Patti Scialfa, Bruce's wife, and, I think, Nils Lofgren, also of the E Street Band
WOW!! Never saw that one before. Amazing!
The added context here is that Bruce just got the band back together after about a decade and some solo albums, and this was a sort of reunion tour.
Stunning
This is Bruce and his band doing all the singing.
I always thought Bruce and the band's very best songs were the slower, deeper, and more emotional ones and this beautiful track proves my theory. God love them all and God bless and rest 'The Big Man' Clarence Clemons. Taken from us all far too soon.
So beautiful every time I hear it and when the late, great Clarence Clemons comes in with his golden sax, I go to jelly.
Listen to The River, it's rock ballad, one of my favourite songs of his
One of the greatest live performa ces ever
Beautiful, sublime song. Wonderful reaction. Way to open your heart and soul to it.
these guys are the core of the legendary E-Street-Band of Springsteen; thank you for reacting to this song! love.
All the singers are part of the Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. The Saxophonist Clarence Clemons has passed away. :(
Thank You ..we need to talk unity with sincerity for all.. god bless you.
Billy you need to cover more songs by Springsteen. You haven't even scratched the surface.
Clarence says it all with his saxophone!
Not a sad song, a beautiful song. R.I.P. Big Man!
Each of the singers are band members, first was Bruce, second was Littlw Steven then Nils Lofgren singing with Bruce's wife Patty's. And the big man on Sax who sang was Clarence Clemons. Sadly Clarence had a stroke and died a few years ago. We're all still emotional about his loss.
3:11 😂 i always wondered what his face looked like when he sang this, and it looks a lot like i imagined it would.
'Waitimg on a Sunny Day' is a feel good song. Awesome Sax solo.
The singers are members of his band, Little Steven (guitar), Nils Lofgren (guitar), Patti Scialfa (vocals, and also his wife) and the late Clarence Clemons (sax). This is absolutely a show stopper .
This was a masterpiece. Thank you Boss
Speechless
These are all members of Bruce's back up band known as The E Street Band. The red head is Bruce's wife.
Really!!
I read the lyrics to this song at my brother's funeral and then played it. Not a dry face. He died at the age of 37. We were/are huge Springsteen fans
My wedding song, many years ago. The original version. This one's great, too.
God bless the Big Man
the e street band is huge. there’s a minimum of two members who didn’t sing, the keyboard player and the drummer. also clarence deserves more credit for his greatness on the sax than he gets. jungleland is my favorite song all time and clarence has a beautiful mournful sax solo. he will always be the king of the sax and he was called to join the band in heaven too soon.
The best version of Bruces' wedding song.
I have never heard this version. Wow thank you, beautiful
The Big Man ! With a saxophone in his hands !
Love the sax
..almost cry

Patti scialfa voice is hauntingly beautiful
Thank you for bringing back and oldie but goodie. Who are these other singers? They are the E Street Band. Look it up.
Love the Boss
RIP Big Man 🎷
Thank you Billy I have listened to the Boss for years and have never heard it.
loving you feeling it
Absolutely perfect!
This song gives a different vibe the way it was done here vs the studio version or when it's just Bruce and Patti
Lil Stevie. 🎸🤘
Clarence was tha MAN. 🎷🎶
Thats all members of the band.
If you like Nils Lofgren’s singing voice, check out his solo stuff. He’s been around since the early 70’s with his band , Grin and as a solo performer. He has something like 40 albums. His voice is truly unique. He is also underrated as a guitarist.
and don t forget he was part of Neil Young s band for a long time too
R.I.P. Big man, Clarence.
I love the people of the band. They really seem to be good people and great musicians. Thanks for the review!
Billy, You love this song, you should check out Springsteen and the E Street Band's entire album collection. Most importantly, The Rising. The album released and dedicated to the victims of 9/11. Truly breathtaking. If this song brought you to tears, just wait until you listen to "You're Missing".
The live version/video of this song recorded at Madison Square Garden was AMAZING!
Those folks are all long-time members of the mighty E Street Band. Not the best choice if you wanted to only evaluate Bruce Springsteen but they are, without exception, talented AF!
Edit: loved your face when Clarence started his solo 😁
Thank you Billy! How serendipitous of you to play this now. I’ve just made my way to Austin to visit my brother. I know he’s waiting for me. Thank you.
❤️
All members of the E Street band
Stevie, Nils, Patti and Clarence Clemons
Wow. I never saw this. All the people with him are the members of his band.
Bruce, little Steven van Zandt, Nils Lofgren, Patti Scialfa, Big Man - Clarence Clemons..... Best version of this song, Big Man is waiting for them all.....
You should change it to Billy YouSoSweet, because you are! Take it from this 76yr young granny, you really are.
They're all part of the E Street Band.
Those singers are the other members of the band, the musicians he plays with.
This was after the death of Danny Federici. RIP Phantom. Then we lost Clarence. RIP Big Man.
Amazing ....
Best of the best
Thank you for this reaction! Beautiful
Lovely reaction to this. I first saw this band when I was 15, using my brother’s id to get into the club. Seen almost a hundred Bruce concerts since. I’d recommend the early club version of Rosalita ( come a little lighter) and the concert version of Ramrod. Good work, man, I’m a fan after 1.
On the Chimes of Freedom album is the best acustic Born To Run rendition. Amazing song.
I still get choked up about loosing Clarence. That sax being silenced is such a shame.
Steve Van Zandt the guy in the ba danna was o. The Sopranos
The third guy, you like is Nils Lofgren. Please check his solo music its just amazing!
Nice hat buddy, hopefully we have a season this year!
Billy - you ain't crazy anymore : )
Billy: If you think the sax solo here was bad...the solo on the song "Rosalita" is one that us E Street Band fans live for! check it out soon!
Oh no THE BIG Man ! CLARENCE CLEMONS on sax.
Clarence on the sax!!!!!! aka The Big Man!!! Sadly he passed away.
I'm a huge Springsteen fan and am a fan of that song, however I've never actually seen that video before
Anyway my man, I'd suggest giving Springsteen's Jungleland a listen, Clarence's best sax solo ever
I know you have done some Stevie Ray Vaughan. Listen to his Texas Flood live.
Der Boss ist und bleibt der Boss! Die E Street Band aber auch !! CLARENCE CLEMONS
, WOW
Yes
Check out Sil. He can garrot you in one instance, then sing to your corpse.
You want to hear a really sad poem/song, Elvis Presley - Softly, As I Leave You - with story and song lyrics
❤️
The Fever
Because you are always real. Ok
If you want to hear amazing music listen to some Nils Lofgren. His albums from the early 80s are phenomenal. Songs like No Mercy, Baltimore and Keith Don't Go are remarkable.
Can you react to Bruce Springsteen Land of Hope and Dreams?
