    I'm 8teen yrs old now, an I'm completely grateful to have had the pleasure of knowin Bruce's lyrics.
    I'm from Mexico, my father intrduced me bruce's music when I was just a kid and I used to go with him to the baseball park while Born in the usa was playin all the road long.
    My father had an older Brother named Roberto, who died at 25, i guess.
    My dad was just as old as I'm now back then. He once told me that his brother liked this song. It was the first and main reason i got engached with this poetry
    And as I grew up, I started seeing the shadows behind my dad's eyes because of his brothes pass. I'm sure it changed his life.
    And as the lyrics goes, i conviced myself the guy who springsteen talks about can be related to my dad and how both of them just needed a ride to the sea an wash those sins off their hands.
    This song is probably the one that will be played at my funeral.
    I feel like i just wrote it in another life.
    Best song ever

    My absolute favorite musician on this planet. In the 80,s I took the DC metro by myself all the way to a sketchy part of MD to buy tickets to your Born In The USA concert at the RFK stadium. I’m 57 now, chronically ill and housebound for years and I’ve lately been on TH-cam discovering your earlier songs/performances. I didn’t know then how incredibly gifted you were. You help keep me sane! Thank you Universe for giving us this genius. And thank you Bruce for getting in that motorcycle accident when you were 17 so you didn’t get sent away to a war! You were destined to share your “voice”, gift, with the world. A performer. A musician. A poet. An artist. An Angel on Earth❤️🎼

    I love how concerts back in the day were such a strong intimate moment between the artist and the fans without thousands of mobile cameras disrupting that privacy. Artists could express themselves in the moment in a much more raw and genuine attitude. I believe this is why footage from back then came across so powerful.

    Watching these older videos brings back so many wonderful memories. Bruce made concerts so much fun. His lyrics are so poetic and meaningful. Even as a teenager back in the 70's, we loved him. His style, his energy, his sense of humor. Those shows were well worth the money. Our chore or babysitting money paid for those tickets back then. Still today he brings it. Who cares what his political views are, even he himself has said some of his own family members don't agree with him. He is a huge humanitarian, and I hope he continues to make music and sing as long as he wants.Not to many of these great ones left. Don't Waste any days Bruce!

      He was a hero to the working class. Then he got mouthy with his liberal spew. I saw him on May 1st 2014 in Tampa. Dedicated it to the communist May Day. Started with Joe Hill the folk song made popular by Joan Baez. I’m perplexed. He’s a multimillionaire and starts off with celebrating Communism? He lost me that night. These vintage videos bring back memories of the Boss! The hero of the working class. I’m not sure what went wrong with him but I still love these older shows. He was the hottest ticket in the world when Born in the USA was released. I lived on the Maryland Shore that summer and it was blaring everywhere. I guess time changes a man but I’m still the same as I was 13 years old. I’m 63 now. Still love the real Boss!

It just causes problems . I've attended two shows in 2023 and they were amazing. He's still unbelievable as is the band. Folks bitchin about ticket pricing and what not. Come on!! He's not alone, he's 74yrs old and puts on a heck of a show for 3hrs.. I had amazing seats, I could afford them, otherwise I would not have went. That simple.

    Like a muscle car idling through Houston, you know when Bruce puts his foot down on that pedal, the whole damn town is going to light up! Fantastic version, what a great show.

    Grew up watching street racers at midnight at a small connecting highway in my town. The song is bitter sweet as those memories are long gone and times were so much better.

    The best song on the album... like I wrote before, you wish you could rescue the characters from dispair - the girl with eyes of one who hates for just being born. My God! How many young people live their lives feeling like that! The song is so beautiful that it hurts... Greetings from São Paulo, Brazil!

      Best song he and anyone has in my opinion, which is definitely fair to debate in fairness. I think Thunder Road, Born to Run, Jungleland, and Badlands round off top 5 (any order). The River (song), Rosalita, and Backstreets probably next on my list after those.

    The Coda on this song is simply amazing. I reckon it's in most fan's top ten songs by Bruce.

    Lyrical genius who can just speak to us & for us as we travel through this thing called life!
    Heard this song first on his live album released back in the mid eighties. Every time I hear it I am transported back to my teenage bedroom and those hot summer nights!
    Love that.....its like having a time machine!

    Icannot begin to eplain how much this song means to me -it's beyond words.
    See -here Iwas in LIverpool uk 80/81 21% unemployment+grown men get desperate =chicken=ckicken man etc paint houses-have knowen several armed robbers -sub PO etc.-So I decided to change the cards -trade them in for better ones (HaHa??) not so easy you might say =then nothing worth doing is ever easy-is it?? Saw Springsteen in 81 -Stafford New Bingley Hall -row 10 center seat = It was as close to a religious experience as i'll ever come=forever changed-forever -BIBLICAL EXPERIENCE FOR ME -TO THIS DAY I CANNOT EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED THAT NIGHT--LOL

    Great band playing one of the top tunes of the best Bruce album. Note how tight the band is, playing right on as Bruce runs off to switch guitars for some reason. When he comes back out, he's connecting with the audience like he hasn't missed a beat. Hands down one of the top true showmen in Rock.

    "For all the shutdown strangers and hotrod angels rumblin' through this Promised Land - tonight my baby and me we're gonna ride to the sea and wash these sins off our hands". This line alone, for some reason, kills me. The search for redemption.

    What an anthem ! 41 years ago this was released,and still sounds as fresh and vital now,as it did then,but to this day l think it should've been a single
