Man, it’s heartbreaking to watch Clarence. He is so missed. Guys, when that sax player passed, the governor of New Jersey ordered the flags to be at half staff. Clarence Clemons is a treasure. 💜💜💜
I agree with Jill, it is heartbreaking/bittersweet to watch Clarence Clemons (The Big Man) on some of these videos, he was such an awesome saxophone player and other instruments I can't name right now but Clarence is missed!
The chemistry in that band, but especially Bruce and Clarence, was just amazing. I go see them every time they come to Houston and they never disappoint but nothing compares to the days when they were all together. Love Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band!
My dad used to go to his concerts whenever he'd play in Jersey or NY and he said they wouldn't sit the entire show if they're not on the floor. They got seats, but they stood the whole way through. Awesome to hear and I hope to one day see him live whenever the world opens back up and before he retires.
@@edgelitafans1 same here Matty, we used to go starting early, early eighties. esp philadelphia. You can't sit during the concert lol no way. dancing too much.
Hell,Yeah. He`s EARNED THAT respect! TwinsthenewTrend Guys,It`s shows You are seeing,and The Song YOU are hearing..Is WHY he`s Called The Boss..He`s Payed his Dues Over the Decades,And His Fan Base Loves him for it...HE IS...A Living Legend..."The Boss"..Bruce Springsteen!
My understanding is… they call him the boss because when they started out playing small clubs… bruce would collect the money, and divvy it out to the band members… hence… you wanna get paid… gotta see the boss. This could be wrong… but thats what ive heard
I've never been to a Bruce Springsteen concert and I'm sure they're still great now, but it would've been amazing to see him live in his prime. American icon. (Speaking as a Canadian!)
So you wanted to know how long he played? A typical Springsteen show is anywhere from 3.5-4 hours or more. Even now, he’s 71 years old and still plays that long. I’ve seen Springsteen about 12 times and every show is amazing.
I was actually at one of the shows in this video. We happened to be in London while he was there and scalped tickets for Wembley. Got face value tickets. It was so cool and I live that they filmed the video too. I've seen him 30 times and every show has been great, though the couple acoustic shows didn't have quite as much energy.
@@paulacronic I’m sure he’ll tour once Covid is over. He lives for touring. His Broadway show was only supposed to be 6 weeks and ended up running for a year. I’ve seen him over 40 times, in 8 countries and 3 continents and he is absolutely the best live artist I’ve ever seen. Never a dull show.
@@ablacknambercathahah brilliant me mate went to roundhay park in leeds in 85 wish i was ther hopefully he come to liverpool and play at anfield next year ha pints on me
Talking about the attendance on july 19, 1988 he played a concert in Berlin at the wall before it was torn down. 160,000+ people were at that concert. It's the 7th highest attendance ever recorded and he played it for FREE. It was in East Berlin and the concert was originally offered to the Rolling Stones but they refused. That concert is also recognized as part of what started the wall being torn down in Berlin
Chimes of Freedom: How Springsteen Helped Tear Down the Wall In July 1988, the singer gave East Germany the biggest rock concert it ever saw. By David Crossland, SPIEGEL June 19, 2013, 3:24 PM abcnews.go.com/International/chimes-freedom-springsteen-helped-tear-wall/story?id=19439481
It was torn down because the Soviet Union collapsed. Bruce had nothing to with it. The things that made that happen was economic pressure in the USSR, Mikhail Gorbachev, Ronald Reagan, and John Paul II.
@@theccpisaparasite8813 The concert "helped". To attend it many tens of thousands of young people broke the law in plain site of police and military with no repercussions. That helped create an atmosphere where people could cross the border illegally with less fear. Safety in numbers that hadn't existed before. And The wall coming down helped cause the USSR to collapse over two years LATER.
Looking back at my life... Significant events like, births, deaths and illnesses, all stand next to seeing Bruce in full flow of his genuinely and genius talent.
The huge crowds were normal for The Boss and he did play 3-4 hours, guys. Back when great skill was needed to play an instrument, vocals were bad a$$, no auto-tune when we were coming up. I get excited watching you two discover the bands of my life. I’m 54 years old with children your age and check you out every day! Keep going forward, God bless and guide your paths. This was a “banger” by Uncle Bruce. ❤️
I also love how they're talking about how the tickets must have sold out the minute he "posted them". These kids don't know the joy/pain of camping outside you local record store waiting for tickets to go on sale.
Don’t forget: it’s Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band: Home grown Jersey shore band that played at the Stone Pony. These guys were and are the real thing. They love to jam out.
Im a 49 year old white guy, I got nothing but love and respect for you guys for being able to open your heart and minds to all forms of music, music is truly a universal language that brings people together peace and love fellows
Tom Petty had opened for him once and his stage manager said if the audience might sound like they’re booing, don’t worry they’re not, they’re just saying Bruce, Bruce. Tom Petty replied, same difference. I saw him twice and he never had an opening band.
About tickets selling out. In those days, we had to go to a ticket office and wait in line to buy tickets. There was no internet. You hoped that the ticket office you chose had a short enough line or fast people working so you got tickets before they sold out.
Dude, they played like that and he sung his heart out for 2 - 3 hours!!! They all must have lost 20 pounds each concert. I miss concerts!! Check out Muse HARP the whole concert at Wimbly Stadium is amazing!! ruclips.net/video/kaMFFHr6pT8/видео.html
When you said 5-8songs I laughed he plays a 3-4hr concert even though he’s in his early 70s. Guy plays 20-40 songs a night and multiple nights in a row. If you can go to one of his concerts and you’ll realize how simple and rejuvenating life can be because you’ll start singing dancing and screaming like him.
And dont forget changes setlist nightly ever since the rising tour .I saw him 3 straight nights at Lincoln financial field in philadelphia 11 hrs of concert and 65 different songs for the 3 nights
Ya’ll are so cute: “tickets sold out as soon as they were posted.” No, we had to stand in line overnight just to get nosebleed seats. In Cleveland, they would announce the ticket sales the day before and people would drive straight to the stadium to camp out.
I used to live in Cleveland, and believe me, it was much worse in L.A. I was tenth in line at the Ticketmaster for Van Halen and BTO at the Forum, and my seat was halfway back and four rows down from the ceiling. Once all the movie people, TV people, radio people, press people, sports people, corporate people, financial people, political people and every other sort of privileged nadsack got their FREE front-of-the-house tickets, the rest of us had to make do with whatever was left.
@@thatoneguyagain2252 that was maddening!!! I was 3rd in line for Jethro Tull at Ticket masters I thought I was going to score the best seats in the House and I stood there for 10 minutes while they printed tickets for people that weren't even on line!! I ended up sitting on the second tier about halfway up. I did get to see Bruce Springsteen at the LA Memorial Coliseum and in the LA Sports Arena... amazing.. amazing shows. And the audience is filled with every kind of person you could think of, businessmen, Stoners, Indians, Cowboys, army men just everybody and everybody was dancing bikers just everybody grandparents everybody and me was there dancing amazing
I heard an interview with Bruce once. He stated that early on he realized his voice was not good enough to have a solo career. So he surrounded himself with a most excellent band of musicians. Together they really made it rock!
His guitar player is "little Steven " Steven Van Zandt. Had a band called "little Steven and the disciples of soul". He also played in the series "the Sopranos " as Sylvio. He's a beauty.
Little Steven was not on that tour. He quit the band before that tour. I saw little steven at clarence clemons club that he owned in red bank n.j. It was called BIG MANS WEST !
There is a reason they call Bruce the "BOSS". He is truly an amazing American icon. He is the "real deal". Love the reaction! Happy Thanksgiving, twins!
Been to these concerts. Bruce plays full throttle for 3-4 hours... straight. His concerts are life changing events. He is not known for records, he is about the live performances. He is New Jersey. My home state. This man just turned 72 and still tours. Did one man show on Broadway and just released a new album earlier this year. Bruce is da bomb. THE BOSS! Has played with the E Street Band for almost 50 years!!! Concert are in stadiums because there are so many fans. Huge screens in all directions for everyone to see. Concerts were reasonably price back in the day but with digital records now touring is their only source of income so it’s expensive now. Save up. It’s worth it. The redhead in the band is his wife. His son is a fire fighter and his daughter is an Olympic equestrian.
Bruce just turned 71. On his last tour in 2016 he played his longest concerts ever. Over 4 hours without intermissions or leaving the stage. They took a bow and went immediately into encores. His energy is legendary. Usually he plays 30 songs or so. He still is in great shape and he just has a wonderful new album out called "Letter to You". He was hoping to tour next year, but now it's looking like 2022 is more likely.
Going to a Springsteen concert is like going to church! 3+ hours of pure highest energy!!! I lost my voice for 3 Days after one of his concerts. As a Jersey girl myself, he’s a god in this state. I had the opportunity to meet Clarence, the Big Man, in Philly while they were in town for the week. He was so gracious and kind. It’s one of my best memories.
I’ve seen him in concert over 20 times. The closest thing you’ll ever get to going to church is a Springsteen concert. The shows are 3-4 hrs long. There’s only 1 boss.
Guys, I saw Springsteen at RFK stadium in DC for the Born in the USA album tour. And yes, every single seat was filled, even behind the stage, and the football field. Over 54,000 people were there that night, and the energy was like nothing I’ve ever felt. I went to a lot of concerts, and no one was better than Springsteen. And you talked about how much energy he has. He was known for it, actually. That night, he played for THREE SOLID HOURS and then came back for an ENCORE! There were no special effects, just him and the band on the jumbo screens. I swear I didn’t come down for days.
I tell my piano students that they have to hear two things live in their lives-- Beethoven’s 9th and a Bruce Springsteen concert. You can’t describe the level of energy, pure passion and joy. I hope you will experience this some day.
I’m curious to hear how they react. At 43, I just heard this song the first time on the radio and I didn’t know it was Springsteen. I thought, “This is one of the worst vocals I’ve ever heard.” So I Shazam’d it and was like, “How was this guy popular?” I can’t imagine kids today liking this at all.
Great song choice tonight, gentlemen! Closer to Christmas, you might want to check out Bruce's version of Santa Claus Is Coming To Town. Love you guys!
Agreed or his version of Merry Christmas Baby. My family and I got lucky 11 years ago this week and seen them play both Santa Claus is Coming to Town and Merry Christmas Baby. It was amazing but so were all the other 4 times I've seen them.
The BOSSS!!! He is one of the greats!!! And I can’t believe you never been to a concert!! Live music is the best!!!! The vibe at a concert is insane!!! I try to go to at least 4-6 concerts a year!!! Except for 2020😢😢
Live performances is EVERYTHING !!! Cannot wait to be back to see anything live - in bars & restaurants, in parks & festivals, in arenas & stadiums - YES, it doesn't matter how close you are, it is worth it for the vibe !!!
Born to run was in his encore after he had played for 3-4 hrs. Being in the audience for that was the bomb. His concerts sold out in minutes. I first heard born to run at age 18 when the album first came out. The Boss’s music has been my anthem since. Glad you found it. ❤️
It's funny hearing you two talk about posting concert tickets. Back then, there was no internet. You heard about concerts via radio, word of mouth and late talk and music shows. People actually camped outside the venues that sold tickets 24 hrs before tickets went on sale to purchase the best seats. It's more convenient to get tickets online these days, but I do miss the experience of the camp outs. You guys bring back such good memories for us.
And tickets were much less expensive. I remember the first time I paid a $100 for a front row ticket in 1985. That was way expensive then! Now, you pay a $1000+ for that same seat.
My friend passed out in line for concert tickets once and got a concussion. To make matters worse, she ended up not being able to go to the concert! Ah....memories.
I’ve only seen him 3 times in Denver. Ticket prices-2000 $78, 2002 $100, 2009 $120. It was EXTREMELY hard to get tickets to his shows. Usually you’d have a few friends all trying to get the max amount of tickets you could buy in the hopes one of would get lucky. I’d love to go to your first concert with you two. There’s just NOTHING like it!
I saw Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band in the 80's at the height of their success. It was energy packed 3+ hours of music!! No special lighting or pyrotechnics or costume changes...just raw energy and music. Incredible.
You guys talked about Springsteen doing 4 songs in a concert because so much energy is used .. fyi .. he regularly performed for three hrs ... no breaks .. he wanted his fans to get their money's worth ..
The big concert venues have huge video screens, so even the people far off can see. There's such an energy you get at a live show that you can't get anywhere else, there's just nothing like being in a huge group of people who all love and know by heart the same music. And Bruce Springsteen is a classic rock god, and sells out everywhere he goes.
I love how much y’all talk about the concerts. I have been fortunate enough to see Bruce twice-once in Philly/Citizens Bank-his longest US show. I wasn’t even that interested in going to his first show and feel like a moron now. His shows are life changing! It is so clear that he truly loves performing. I honestly can’t truly explain how amazing he is live!
So....my favorite Springsteen memory is being 18 and listening to this song while riding in the back seat of a car that was going a little too fast sitting next to a boy that I had a HUGE crush on. This album had just come out and we played it over and over (on a cassette tape 😮) in the car as we drove to the lakes for the day. The windows were open and everything seemed possible. Literally one of the best memories I have. You’re doing a great job! ❤️
This is one of your BEST reactions EVER!! ! When you saw the size of the crowds for the first time! Y’all are TOO adorable! Love you! Continued success!!
That field was Slane Castle in Ireland, it was a natural hollow. 80,000+ people. It was the biggest concert they played, early on. In his biography he said they almost cancelled it because they thought there would be a crush, but it was good-natured. I was there, people still talk about being at that concert. After 3.5+ hours he said "you guys are looking tired". Everyone got to their feet and started dancing to "twist and shout". Still the best concert I was ever at.
@@margiewhitteck4132 Bruce didn't play Live Aid, because he had just got married to his first wife. Live Aid was in Wembley stadium in London, and Bruce played in it another time. There are a few concerts featured in the video.
I saw him 3 years ago, and lemme tell ya... he's STILL in his prime! 3 and a half hours and obviously took 6 months to put the set list together. It was goddamned glorious!
@@echopryme I agree completely, but he usually does a different setlist every night. Some of the same songs but a lot change. Especially if he's playing multiple nights at the same place. And he'll take audience requests too! The "River" tour was a little different because in the USA he played the full double album every night, but the norm is a constantly changing setlist. That's why people follow the tour and see as many shows as they can. No two are the same.
@t c AWWWW DAAAAMN! 😎 I have a couple stories like that too, though. Like the time that my dad, who played backstage rhythm guitar (back in the day, bands had a bunch of nameless, faceless, people playing behind the curtains to make the concert sound bigger and more like the album. My dad was one of those guys), and introduced me to some guy when I was about 6 or 7. He was ALL THRILLED to introduce me, and was smiling his ass off about it. I shook hands politely, but I was bored and wanted to go play with my Star Wars figures. I barely reacted and after being introduced i looked up at Dad and said, "Can I go play Star Wars now?" The guy I was introduced to laughed and Dad looked like I'd just shit my pants in front of the President. I was allowed to go off and play with my toys without further discussion. I kinda always remembered the name of the guy, but it wouldn't be until my teenage years that it would begin to haunt me... "Jason, this is Eric Clapton!" 😵
@@cfraase Fans bring poster boards with requests that they hold up. Bruce will take several from the audience and the band will play them, often off-the-cuff, having not played them before. Here in Detroit, he played some Detroit classics- Patti Smith, Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, Martha and the Vandellas, etc. He's always a blast.
I just love how respectful you both are to Bruce's music here. Thank you. It gives me hope that younger generations can see what we have seen for so many years; such a diverse and awesome artist in Bruce!
One of my favorite concerts I ever went to was Bruce Springsteen (the Born in The USA tour at the stadium where the Cleveland Browns used to play). He had that energy the whole time, and at times the whole band would move with him.... THE WHOLE BAND AT ONCE. He was personal, told us stories, told us jokes, told us BS that led to a song, etc. Then after about four hours, he says they aren't ready to call it a night yet, and he plays oldies but goodies... and then some of his older hits like this one... over 8 hours later (or longer) he finally agrees to let us go home.. Yes, that's how HE put it. "Ok, I know your probably sick of me by now, so I'm going to let you all go home now!" then plays Born To Run, LMAO.
I've been to half a dozen Bruce shows, he's one my favourite live acts. One time he performed for 4,5 hours and would've continued but the stadium had to close the lights at midnight. And what a band, they can play anything if Bruce just winks at them. Born to Run, great song. I've got the lyrics printed on a shirt, I can relate. After the show I was napping at his hotel on an antique sofa waiting for autographs, like a tramp. Actually not quite since the staff knew me and offered hot chocolate in wee hours. Hungry Heart, Glory Days, Dancing in the Dark, Because the Night... so many bangers to suggest.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band is the band you are reacting to! This song still rocks! The fans fill up the stadium to see Bruce and his band play! "Born in the USA" is another great song of theirs!
Yes dears, we know how good Bruce is. His concerts can go on for four full hours. We haven't been recommending him for no reason. Listen to all his songs; the messages are real; the entertainment is real, the talent is real, his journey is real.
you guys should see him in concert.. the man is an energy machine.. First time I saw him people were running around the upper deck during the second part of his show.. no opening band, just him for almost three hours with a break in the middle.. full tilt the entire show..
You guys gotta check out "The Highwaymen" with their song named "Highwayman”. The Highwaymen were Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash.
Thanks for the suggestion Ryan - I've just listened to their most popular songs and their great, definitely on my playlist now. The track 'Highwayman' reminds me of 'sailing to Philadelphia' by Mark Knopfler with James Taylor. They are both atmospheric. Have a great afternoon.
Springsteen would keep that level of energy up for 3 hours or more. Ok. A listening suggestion. Band: Traffic. Track: The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys.
WHAT A GREAT SUGGESTION!!! If you see something that looks like a star And it's shooting up out of the ground And your head is spinning from a loud guitar Or something similar as this Don't worry too much it will happen to you We were children once playing with toys But the sound that you're hearing is only the sound of the low spark of high heeled boys. God damn, I haven't listened to this in a few years. Now I have to go and do that now. Thanks.
Please react to "The Streets of Philadelphia" by Bruce Springsteen. He wrote and sang this song for the movie "Philadelphia" in 1993. He won an Academy Award (Oscar) for it.
So glad you guys are doing this. It’s amazing to hear your comments. Springsteen writes all his songs. Words and music. Since the 70’s! He’s still going strong. His shows do sell out immediately. He leaves it all on the stage every time.
@@christinebuckingham2480 Christina for as great as Freddy was he didn't do it 3.5 hrs a night every night of a whole tour .it's easier to be great for 2 hrs then 3 .5 hours . And yes I loved queen all you have to do is watch live aid to see how he had people in the palm of his hand
Yes. Hahaha. I can remember a few I'd have to wait over an hour for the lot to clear out enough to get my crappy car home and not overheated!🤣 The parking lot was the best time!! I'm now missing them days and those friends.
Bruce Springsteen never did less than a 3 hour concert! It was a once in a lifetime dream come true to see him perform. Clarence Clemmons, the sax player, was legandary!
I'm so thrilled y'all caught on to Bruce. Recommend Thunder Road and Jungleland off the same album as Born to Run. And yes, if you can ever get tickets to see him live, GO.
Saw Bruce on his Wrecking Ball tour. As he didn’t play all his old school hits, it was still one of the best concerts I ever saw. His energy is like no other. 3plus hours - non stop. He did a couple cover songs from the Motown era as it was in the Detroit area. The E-Street Band has an amazing catalog. They can literally play anything. So, yes, Everybody should go see him in concert.
I saw Bruce one time and these young guys noted that his energy was so intense for this one song and they could not imagine that he was going to do five or eight songs with the same energy. At the concert I saw, Bruce and his band took a break after eight songs. After they returned they did six more, all with the same pure intensity. Bruce and his band rocks!!!!!!!!!!!
The BOSS!! Springsteen is absolutely electric on stage. He’s amazing to see in person, and it doesn’t even matter if you’re in the very back! His presence fills the place up and before you know it a 3-hour concert is over. He’s a legend and, believe it or not, he still sells out stadiums to this day.
You guys need to watch more of Bruce! Such an ICON! - Dancing in the Dark - Streets of Philadelphia - The river - Born in the USA - Thunder road - Jungleland - Badlands - Hungry heart - Im on fire - Glory days
I love these brothers! This might be one of my favorites, although it makes me sad to know they've never been to a concert. I've been blessed that way.... waiting fir the day it can happen again. If I was rich I'd take these two to see Springsteen or the Stones.❤️
YES!!!! He’s 71 and was doing over 3 HOUR CONCERTS - non-stop from one song right into the next for 3.5-4 hours. You MUST go to one of his concerts!! You’ll thank us!! It’s an experience - you have to be there!!!!!!
@@jamescrane2156 weird how he goes around the Jersey shore without a body guard. Hangs out at local bar, gets up on the stage with house band., pitches in at the local Food bank (besides donating $) and helps with Habitat builds..yep...not pissing on them
I was sitting all the way in the back of the Los Angeles Coliseum when Bruce Springsteen performed there, September 21, 1988, along with Sting and Peter Gabriel and Tracy Chapman and Youssou D'Nour, the Human Rights Now Tour. There were 68,000 people there. And he was so darn good that we felt that he was singing right to us. He filled the whole stadium. So much energy. Such a phenomenon. Never forgot that concert, with the Los Angeles skyline all lit up in the distance, which we could also see from high up where we were sitting. Magic night. And I see comments below praising the sax player, Clarence Clemons. They were an amazing team, an amazing band.
You are so right Twins... the energy that the Boss puts out is astounding! I was at one of his concerts during his Born in the USA Tour and his energy is crazy. Just when you think it must be about over, Bruce and the band launch into a 5 song medley that leaves you begging for air!! haha!
I’ve been to very few concerts in my life only one of them was a Bruce Springsteen concert. even now hearing born to run live, was one of the most exhilarating experiences in my whole life
His concerts last anywhere from31/2- 4 hours. Bruce does write a playlist for each concert, however they usually end up just playing what they and the audience want.🎼❤️🇦🇺❤️🇺🇸
Cover of Time and Newsweek in the same week in 1975 ultimateclassicrock.com/bruce-springsteen-time-newsweek/ Back then that was ultimate mega-fame. You were late to the party 🤣
A Jersey Boy back in our younger days And Bruces younger days . When he played a hometown show at Giants Stadium he would play 12 shows in 18 days and all would sell out!!!!!
Your reactions are wonderful and heartfelt. They didn't name him "The Boss" for nothing. The man and his band are Epic. So many incredible songs over the years. Enjoy.
It's great to see people of your generation still appreciating Bruce Springsteen's music. Bruce continues to sell out stadiums and still tours the world even though he is 74 years old now. He maintains the same energy in every 3-5 hour live concert.
Man, it’s heartbreaking to watch Clarence. He is so missed. Guys, when that sax player passed, the governor of New Jersey ordered the flags to be at half staff. Clarence Clemons is a treasure. 💜💜💜
Facts!! He was my inspiration when I was a young sax player! I wanted to be like HIM! ♥️🎷
He is missed.
I agree with Jill, it is heartbreaking/bittersweet to watch Clarence Clemons (The Big Man) on some of these videos, he was such an awesome saxophone player and other instruments I can't name right now but Clarence is missed!
The chemistry in that band, but especially Bruce and Clarence, was just amazing. I go see them every time they come to Houston and they never disappoint but nothing compares to the days when they were all together. Love Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band!
The greatest!
That fantastic sax player is the late, great Clarence Clemons. Mad respect. RIP
I think Clarence's nephew is playing sax in the band now.
Definitely, RIP Clarence ✝️
@@anneu53714 yes. Jake Clemons. And he’s almost as good as his uncle.
Sax player grew up in Virginia and is a legend...RIP
@@anneu53714 yep, Jake. He plays Clarence's saxophone
Guys, he plays like that for 4 hours. Every show. It's crazy, your hands get tired from clapping, and your face gets tired from smiling.
4 hours now. He used to do these 6 hour shows when he was younger, I have no idea how he does it, I get tired walking to my desk.
My dad used to go to his concerts whenever he'd play in Jersey or NY and he said they wouldn't sit the entire show if they're not on the floor. They got seats, but they stood the whole way through. Awesome to hear and I hope to one day see him live whenever the world opens back up and before he retires.
@@edgelitafans1 same here Matty, we used to go starting early, early eighties. esp philadelphia. You can't sit during the concert lol no way. dancing too much.
@@weaselrina On July 31, 2012, in Helsinki, Finland, Springsteen performed his longest concert ever at 4 hours and 6 minutes and 33 songs.
Can confirm. Did 4 hours for The River tour just a couple years ago.
They don't call him "The Boss" for nothing.
Hell,Yeah. He`s EARNED THAT respect!
TwinsthenewTrend Guys,It`s shows You are seeing,and The Song YOU are hearing..Is WHY he`s Called The Boss..He`s Payed his Dues Over the Decades,And His Fan Base Loves him for it...HE IS...A Living Legend..."The Boss"..Bruce Springsteen!
Absolutely 💯
My understanding is… they call him the boss because when they started out playing small clubs… bruce would collect the money, and divvy it out to the band members… hence… you wanna get paid… gotta see the boss.
This could be wrong… but thats what ive heard
Bruce Springsteen is the working man's artist, he's America's heart and soul. When I hear his music I think of all the good things.
Even Eric Church, a country star, sand a song called Springsteen!
He’s also one of Jersey’s finest!
Lol. He detests the working man. He's an elitist leftist who looks down on his fans.
Yeah, Bruce is notorious for his marathon concerts. 3+ hours of high-energy rock.
You feel like you’ve had a heavy workout when you leave his concerts! I’ve seen him twice and each time was incredible!
I couldn’t stand him for years than suddenly last year I listened to him and was like wow! Now I really hope to see him live one day.
Yes, he was! I went to 2 of his concerts in the 80s. It was epic!!!
I've never been to a Bruce Springsteen concert and I'm sure they're still great now, but it would've been amazing to see him live in his prime. American icon.
(Speaking as a Canadian!)
And they are thinking a concert is five or six songs.☺️
It's not just Bruce, it's "Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band"
Set them straight!😄😄
And look at all the joy between them twins - they're one big happy family 🙂
Damn straight. There's no Boss without E Street.
"...the heart-stopping, pants-dropping, hard-rocking, booty-shaking, love-making, earth-quaking, Viagra-taking, justifying, death-defying, legendary E Street Band!"
Preach it!!!!!!!
So you wanted to know how long he played? A typical Springsteen show is anywhere from 3.5-4 hours or more. Even now, he’s 71 years old and still plays that long. I’ve seen Springsteen about 12 times and every show is amazing.
That sounds incredible. I never got to see him.
@@SoniaRossIntuitiveMessenger if we ever get back to normal, you should see him if you get a chance.
12 times! That’s amazing! I’ve never seen him and the band but I sure hope I get to!!! 💖
I was actually at one of the shows in this video. We happened to be in London while he was there and scalped tickets for Wembley. Got face value tickets. It was so cool and I live that they filmed the video too. I've seen him 30 times and every show has been great, though the couple acoustic shows didn't have quite as much energy.
@@paulacronic I’m sure he’ll tour once Covid is over. He lives for touring. His Broadway show was only supposed to be 6 weeks and ended up running for a year. I’ve seen him over 40 times, in 8 countries and 3 continents and he is absolutely the best live artist I’ve ever seen. Never a dull show.
"The people is on the field" 70 thousand of them and I was one. Oh and the parking lot was acres of fields.

Worth every penny, guys. Been to see Bruce 5 times now. A blast every time. Earth shaking.
Talking about the attendance on july 19, 1988 he played a concert in Berlin at the wall before it was torn down. 160,000+ people were at that concert. It's the 7th highest attendance ever recorded and he played it for FREE. It was in East Berlin and the concert was originally offered to the Rolling Stones but they refused. That concert is also recognized as part of what started the wall being torn down in Berlin
Chimes of Freedom: How Springsteen Helped Tear Down the Wall
In July 1988, the singer gave East Germany the biggest rock concert it ever saw.

It was torn down because the Soviet Union collapsed. Bruce had nothing to with it. The things that made that happen was economic pressure in the USSR, Mikhail Gorbachev, Ronald Reagan, and John Paul II.
@@theccpisaparasite8813 The concert "helped". To attend it many tens of thousands of young people broke the law in plain site of police and military with no repercussions. That helped create an atmosphere where people could cross the border illegally with less fear. Safety in numbers that hadn't existed before. And The wall coming down helped cause the USSR to collapse over two years LATER.
Seeing Bruce live is like a religious experience. Like no other. 4 hours of passionate, heartfelt performance.
I totally agree, and it's the same now as it was decades ago!!!! They are a fine wine!!!!!
That’s how concerts are meant to be!
Absolutely perfection!!!!
Looking back at my life...
Significant events like, births, deaths and illnesses, all stand next to seeing Bruce in full flow of his genuinely and genius talent.
Preach! Every chance I get I go!
The huge crowds were normal for The Boss and he did play 3-4 hours, guys. Back when great skill was needed to play an instrument, vocals were bad a$$, no auto-tune when we were coming up. I get excited watching you two discover the bands of my life. I’m 54 years old with children your age and check you out every day! Keep going forward, God bless and guide your paths. This was a “banger” by Uncle Bruce. ❤️
Bruce and band are still going 3-4 hours!
I read once that he would lose an average of 7 lbs a concert from the sweating!
He and the band are fantastic. They play their hearts out for the fans. God bless my husband, who got us tickets a few years ago for my birthday.
I also love how they're talking about how the tickets must have sold out the minute he "posted them". These kids don't know the joy/pain of camping outside you local record store waiting for tickets to go on sale.
Don’t forget: it’s Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band: Home grown Jersey shore band that played at the Stone Pony. These guys were and are the real thing. They love to jam out.
I remember seeing him at the Stone Pony years before he made it big
LOL yup, but remember this song is about how Asbury felt like a death trap
Im a 49 year old white guy, I got nothing but love and respect for you guys for being able to open your heart and minds to all forms of music, music is truly a universal language that brings people together peace and love fellows
Truth!
I’m a black guy from nj. Bruce runs in our veins no matter what color you are.
ong
And he's still touring and drawing crowds at 71.
And doing 3 hour shows!
My sister said he used a cane coming up to and leaving the stage...
@@shirleys1792 don’t tell me this
THE BOSS!! Decades of hits and he practically plays them all in marathon shows. Bruuuuuce!
Tom Petty had opened for him once and his stage manager said if the audience might sound like they’re booing, don’t worry they’re not, they’re just saying Bruce, Bruce. Tom Petty replied, same difference. I saw him twice and he never had an opening band.
2 of the BEST! Springsteen was certainly the Boss, but much love and respect for Tom Petty ❤
Keep in mind that his energy carrying through the entire concert, which is close to 3 hours long.
I saw Willie Nelson in the 70’s and he played 4 hours but they’re the only two.
They’ve never attended a live concert. Someone had better comp them some tickets, once this Covid craziness is over!
I thought the same thing.
It’s kind of sad that the twins and so many others have never gotten to be a part of a fabulous concert like this
YES, ALL ARTISTS EVERYWHERE. ARE YOU LISTENING??? LOL
Yes these babies need to see some live performances ❤️🔥
AGREE!!!
About tickets selling out. In those days, we had to go to a ticket office and wait in line to buy tickets. There was no internet. You hoped that the ticket office you chose had a short enough line or fast people working so you got tickets before they sold out.
I can remember sleeping out on the sidewalk overnight in the Bronx waiting to get tickets. More than once. Ahhhhh those were the days ha ha ha.
In my city people lined up and stayed overnight at the box office
I slept on a sidewalk in Sydney for U2 tickets in the late 80's. Uncomfortable night but worth it.
Yep. Those all-nighters. We got up at 4am for John Cougar Mellencamp. Overnight for Prince (also in Sydney).
For hours or days. Fans would sleep around whole blocks to get Paul McCartney's tickets.
“They perform 5, 8 songs”
Bruce: hold my beer
Dude, they played like that and he sung his heart out for 2 - 3 hours!!! They all must have lost 20 pounds each concert. I miss concerts!! Check out Muse HARP the whole concert at Wimbly Stadium is amazing!! ruclips.net/video/kaMFFHr6pT8/видео.html
LMAO!!!
🤣🤣🤣
IKR?
When you said 5-8songs I laughed he plays a 3-4hr concert even though he’s in his early 70s. Guy plays 20-40 songs a night and multiple nights in a row. If you can go to one of his concerts and you’ll realize how simple and rejuvenating life can be because you’ll start singing dancing and screaming like him.
And dont forget changes setlist nightly ever since the rising tour .I saw him 3 straight nights at Lincoln financial field in philadelphia 11 hrs of concert and 65 different songs for the 3 nights
Ya’ll are so cute: “tickets sold out as soon as they were posted.” No, we had to stand in line overnight just to get nosebleed seats. In Cleveland, they would announce the ticket sales the day before and people would drive straight to the stadium to camp out.
I used to live in Cleveland, and believe me, it was much worse in L.A. I was tenth in line at the Ticketmaster for Van Halen and BTO at the Forum, and my seat was halfway back and four rows down from the ceiling. Once all the movie people, TV people, radio people, press people, sports people, corporate people, financial people, political people and every other sort of privileged nadsack got their FREE front-of-the-house tickets, the rest of us had to make do with whatever was left.
@@thatoneguyagain2252 that was maddening!!! I was 3rd in line for Jethro Tull at Ticket masters I thought I was going to score the best seats in the House and I stood there for 10 minutes while they printed tickets for people that weren't even on line!! I ended up sitting on the second tier about halfway up. I did get to see Bruce Springsteen at the LA Memorial Coliseum and in the LA Sports Arena... amazing.. amazing shows. And the audience is filled with every kind of person you could think of, businessmen, Stoners, Indians, Cowboys, army men just everybody and everybody was dancing bikers just everybody grandparents everybody and me was there dancing amazing
I saw him in Cleveland 3 times. 3+hours every time! Unreal.
That many people show up for 1 person when that one person is Bruce Springsteen!
TRUMP!!!
His concerts are longer then anyone’s . Yup he keeps going and going!! The jersey boy!!!
He kills it every single time!! Love Bruce and the E Street Band!
When I saw Bruce in Miami ,the show went well over 2 hours . And if memory serves tickets were under $50.
I wouldnt say longer than anybodys but they are amazing. Phish played for 7 1/2 hours straight.
That's right! Jersey in the house👍
Even now, he's writing and playing sharp, smart, relevant music. He is genuinely a poet and chronicler of our times.
"all these people coming for just one person"
The E Street Band: "Am I a f'in joke to you?"
Ikr!
I love Bruce but I was absolutely enthralled by Clarence Clemons. No one makes a sax talk like he did.
I heard an interview with Bruce once. He stated that early on he realized his voice was not good enough to have a solo career. So he surrounded himself with a most excellent band of musicians. Together they really made it rock!
"I wonder what the parking lot looked like" now thats a practical question.
It looked like a lake made of multicolored steel.
His guitar player is "little Steven " Steven Van Zandt. Had a band called "little Steven and the disciples of soul". He also played in the series "the Sopranos " as Sylvio. He's a beauty.
Did you see his starring role in Lillehammer?
His other guitarist is Nils Lofgren, a famous musician in his own right.
Little Steven was not on that tour. He quit the band before that tour. I saw little steven at clarence clemons club that he owned in red bank n.j. It was called BIG MANS WEST !
And Bruce says Nils plays at least 100 times better than he does but still comes over when he has a solo ... maybe to see if he’s improved !
I remember we used to call him Miami Steve...
Bruce is known as The Boss, an his concerts were legendary - three or four hours long.
ARE legendary!
@@loulouncmtn Yes, are legendary.
saw him in Seattle 4 years ago. Played for 4 hours. Eddie Vedder came by and sang with him on several songs. Magical night!
Yes!!!! I remember at the Meadowlands!!!! Four hours of insanity!!!! When he did Jersey Girl, well you know!!!! Haaaaaaaaaaaa
There is a reason they call Bruce the "BOSS". He is truly an amazing American icon. He is the "real deal". Love the reaction! Happy Thanksgiving, twins!
Back then there was no internet, we lined up overnight in front of stadiums - thousands of fans.
Been to these concerts. Bruce plays full throttle for 3-4 hours... straight. His concerts are life changing events. He is not known for records, he is about the live performances. He is New Jersey. My home state. This man just turned 72 and still tours. Did one man show on Broadway and just released a new album earlier this year. Bruce is da bomb. THE BOSS! Has played with the E Street Band for almost 50 years!!!
Concert are in stadiums because there are so many fans. Huge screens in all directions for everyone to see. Concerts were reasonably price back in the day but with digital records now touring is their only source of income so it’s expensive now. Save up. It’s worth it. The redhead in the band is his wife. His son is a fire fighter and his daughter is an Olympic equestrian.
Bruce just turned 71. On his last tour in 2016 he played his longest concerts ever. Over 4 hours without intermissions or leaving the stage. They took a bow and went immediately into encores. His energy is legendary. Usually he plays 30 songs or so. He still is in great shape and he just has a wonderful new album out called "Letter to You". He was hoping to tour next year, but now it's looking like 2022 is more likely.
I have a ticket from his concert at the Worcester Centrum in Massachusetts dated 09/06/1984 and it was $16.00
I was there too!
Jeez Louise. That's about what I pay for a parking space at a concert venue nowadays.
Wow! Save it. I still have my ticket to Woodstock.
@@barbarazee9773 that is awesome!!😎
@@kimberlywelch1870 cool!!😎
Going to a Springsteen concert is like going to church! 3+ hours of pure highest energy!!! I lost my voice for 3 Days after one of his concerts. As a Jersey girl myself, he’s a god in this state. I had the opportunity to meet Clarence, the Big Man, in Philly while they were in town for the week. He was so gracious and kind. It’s one of my best memories.
When you go to a concert like this one the energy from the crowd adds another dimension to the experience,
I’ve seen him in concert over 20 times. The closest thing you’ll ever get to going to church is a Springsteen concert. The shows are 3-4 hrs long. There’s only 1 boss.
Exactly.
“Thunder Road”, my daily Springsteen vitamine injection.
Same. So depressingly thought provoking yet you feel full of hope at the end of the song. It's magical.
My favorite
My favorite! I am a huge Bruce fan and all his stuff before Born in the USA is the best!
I love a lot of Springsteen, but "Thunder Road" is by far my favorite.
A lyrical and melodic MASTERPIECE!
Wouldn’t everyone love to die in the streets tonight in an everlasting kiss?
NO !
And to have someone love you with all the madness in their soouuulllllll!
He makes it sound so romantic
Lol
If it was with Bruce then bring it on!
Guys, I saw Springsteen at RFK stadium in DC for the Born in the USA album tour. And yes, every single seat was filled, even behind the stage, and the football field. Over 54,000 people were there that night, and the energy was like nothing I’ve ever felt. I went to a lot of concerts, and no one was better than Springsteen. And you talked about how much energy he has. He was known for it, actually. That night, he played for THREE SOLID HOURS and then came back for an ENCORE! There were no special effects, just him and the band on the jumbo screens. I swear I didn’t come down for days.
I tell my piano students that they have to hear two things live in their lives-- Beethoven’s 9th and a Bruce Springsteen concert. You can’t describe the level of energy, pure passion and joy. I hope you will experience this some day.
I’m curious to hear how they react. At 43, I just heard this song the first time on the radio and I didn’t know it was Springsteen. I thought, “This is one of the worst vocals I’ve ever heard.” So I Shazam’d it and was like, “How was this guy popular?” I can’t imagine kids today liking this at all.
Bruce Springsteen is a national institution. And an honored son of New Jersey. So glad you guys are experiencing his magic ✨
Great song choice tonight, gentlemen! Closer to Christmas, you might want to check out Bruce's version of Santa Claus Is Coming To Town. Love you guys!
AGREED!!!!!!!!
Recorded live in 1975 at the Bottom Line in NYC.
Agreed or his version of Merry Christmas Baby. My family and I got lucky 11 years ago this week and seen them play both Santa Claus is Coming to Town and Merry Christmas Baby. It was amazing but so were all the other 4 times I've seen them.
Santa gonna buy you a new saxophone?
Pretty much the only Christmas song that my family listens to!
The BOSSS!!! He is one of the greats!!!
And I can’t believe you never been to a concert!! Live music is the best!!!! The vibe at a concert is insane!!! I try to go to at least 4-6 concerts a year!!! Except for 2020😢😢
It's been a rubbish year...I had so many great gigs lined up 😭 Been waiting years to see Pearl Jam & finally got tickets!!! Ah well... next year! 🤞
Live performances is EVERYTHING !!!
Cannot wait to be back to see anything live - in bars & restaurants, in parks & festivals, in arenas & stadiums - YES, it doesn't matter how close you are, it is worth it for the vibe !!!
@@doreensarcone4346 I always get the cheapest seats at concerts and still have a good time.
Bruce still plays 3 hour live shows with this level of energy, I've seen him twice in the last 5 years. He's 71 now.
Born to run was in his encore after he had played for 3-4 hrs. Being in the audience for that was the bomb. His concerts sold out in minutes. I first heard born to run at age 18 when the album first came out. The Boss’s music has been my anthem since. Glad you found it. ❤️
I just love that these two guys are trying to imagine him playing "four or five" songs in a night. And you can tell how guys are simply awestruck.
It's funny hearing you two talk about posting concert tickets. Back then, there was no internet. You heard about concerts via radio, word of mouth and late talk and music shows. People actually camped outside the venues that sold tickets 24 hrs before tickets went on sale to purchase the best seats. It's more convenient to get tickets online these days, but I do miss the experience of the camp outs. You guys bring back such good memories for us.
And tickets were much less expensive. I remember the first time I paid a $100 for a front row ticket in 1985. That was way expensive then! Now, you pay a $1000+ for that same seat.
Tickets in the cheap seats were about $40.
My friend passed out in line for concert tickets once and got a concussion. To make matters worse, she ended up not being able to go to the concert! Ah....memories.
@@robinwindsor7603 in the '80s? Nah, I have stubs from Springsteen concerts from the '80s (cheap seats 'cuz I had no $$) and they were $15-$18.
I camped out 12-13 hours for Springsteen tickets in 1980. Got down to 35 degrees that night in Rochester NY. It was worth it!!
I’ve only seen him 3 times in Denver. Ticket prices-2000 $78, 2002 $100, 2009 $120. It was EXTREMELY hard to get tickets to his shows. Usually you’d have a few friends all trying to get the max amount of tickets you could buy in the hopes one of would get lucky. I’d love to go to your first concert with you two. There’s just NOTHING like it!
Do Bruce Springsteen “I’m on Fire”. More Bruce in general. Born to Run is one of the greatest songs of all time IMO.
Yes! I'm on Fire!
Love that song
Facts. So is Thunder Road and Born in the USA!
What about The Ghost of Tom Joad!? Omgosh!!!!
My Brilliant Disguise. Often overlooked. So good.
I saw Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band in the 80's at the height of their success. It was energy packed 3+ hours of music!! No special lighting or pyrotechnics or costume changes...just raw energy and music. Incredible.
You guys talked about Springsteen doing 4 songs in a concert because so much energy is used .. fyi .. he regularly performed for three hrs ... no breaks .. he wanted his fans to get their money's worth ..
The big concert venues have huge video screens, so even the people far off can see. There's such an energy you get at a live show that you can't get anywhere else, there's just nothing like being in a huge group of people who all love and know by heart the same music. And Bruce Springsteen is a classic rock god, and sells out everywhere he goes.
My sister saw him in concert in Wisconsin years ago and said he played for a total of 3 hours!
That was a short show.🤣
Someone in the band must have been feeling sick that evening, because that is a short show for The Boss
I didn’t think I was much of a Springsteen fan until I saw him at the Oakland Coliseum. I’ve been a convert ever since.
I love how much y’all talk about the concerts. I have been fortunate enough to see Bruce twice-once in Philly/Citizens Bank-his longest US show. I wasn’t even that interested in going to his first show and feel like a moron now. His shows are life changing! It is so clear that he truly loves performing. I honestly can’t truly explain how amazing he is live!
I was thier to and I also went the 2nd night I felt cheated that night he only player 3 hrs 48 minutes lol
Nothing like seeing Bruce play Philadelphia.
The Spectrum shows were legendary.
So....my favorite Springsteen memory is being 18 and listening to this song while riding in the back seat of a car that was going a little too fast sitting next to a boy that I had a HUGE crush on. This album had just come out and we played it over and over (on a cassette tape 😮) in the car as we drove to the lakes for the day. The windows were open and everything seemed possible. Literally one of the best memories I have.
You’re doing a great job! ❤️
Beautiful memory
This is one of your BEST reactions EVER!! ! When you saw the size of the crowds for the first time! Y’all are TOO adorable! Love you! Continued success!!
“ The people is on the field”. Love these two kids
They are amazing and cheer me up after a sh** day lol
That field was Slane Castle in Ireland, it was a natural hollow. 80,000+ people. It was the biggest concert they played, early on. In his biography he said they almost cancelled it because they thought there would be a crush, but it was good-natured. I was there, people still talk about being at that concert. After 3.5+ hours he said "you guys are looking tired". Everyone got to their feet and started dancing to "twist and shout". Still the best concert I was ever at.
I think that was Live Aid, wasn't it?
@@bridgetwalsh9297 me too Bridget back when we were young and innocent,what a day😜😜😜
@@margiewhitteck4132 Bruce didn't play Live Aid, because he had just got married to his first wife. Live Aid was in Wembley stadium in London, and Bruce played in it another time. There are a few concerts featured in the video.
That was Bruce at his prime. Very hard to get tickets
I saw him 3 years ago, and lemme tell ya... he's STILL in his prime! 3 and a half hours and obviously took 6 months to put the set list together. It was goddamned glorious!
@@echopryme I never have seen him perform live, I hope some day I will get that chance
@@echopryme I agree completely, but he usually does a different setlist every night. Some of the same songs but a lot change. Especially if he's playing multiple nights at the same place. And he'll take audience requests too! The "River" tour was a little different because in the USA he played the full double album every night, but the norm is a constantly changing setlist. That's why people follow the tour and see as many shows as they can. No two are the same.
@t c AWWWW DAAAAMN! 😎 I have a couple stories like that too, though. Like the time that my dad, who played backstage rhythm guitar (back in the day, bands had a bunch of nameless, faceless, people playing behind the curtains to make the concert sound bigger and more like the album. My dad was one of those guys), and introduced me to some guy when I was about 6 or 7.
He was ALL THRILLED to introduce me, and was smiling his ass off about it. I shook hands politely, but I was bored and wanted to go play with my Star Wars figures. I barely reacted and after being introduced i looked up at Dad and said, "Can I go play Star Wars now?" The guy I was introduced to laughed and Dad looked like I'd just shit my pants in front of the President. I was allowed to go off and play with my toys without further discussion. I kinda always remembered the name of the guy, but it wouldn't be until my teenage years that it would begin to haunt me...
"Jason, this is Eric Clapton!"
😵
@@cfraase Fans bring poster boards with requests that they hold up. Bruce will take several from the audience and the band will play them, often off-the-cuff, having not played them before. Here in Detroit, he played some Detroit classics- Patti Smith, Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, Martha and the Vandellas, etc. He's always a blast.
I just love how respectful you both are to Bruce's music here. Thank you.
It gives me hope that younger generations can see what we have seen for so many years; such a diverse and awesome artist in Bruce!
One of my favorite concerts I ever went to was Bruce Springsteen (the Born in The USA tour at the stadium where the Cleveland Browns used to play). He had that energy the whole time, and at times the whole band would move with him.... THE WHOLE BAND AT ONCE. He was personal, told us stories, told us jokes, told us BS that led to a song, etc. Then after about four hours, he says they aren't ready to call it a night yet, and he plays oldies but goodies... and then some of his older hits like this one... over 8 hours later (or longer) he finally agrees to let us go home.. Yes, that's how HE put it. "Ok, I know your probably sick of me by now, so I'm going to let you all go home now!" then plays Born To Run, LMAO.
I've been to half a dozen Bruce shows, he's one my favourite live acts. One time he performed for 4,5 hours and would've continued but the stadium had to close the lights at midnight. And what a band, they can play anything if Bruce just winks at them. Born to Run, great song. I've got the lyrics printed on a shirt, I can relate. After the show I was napping at his hotel on an antique sofa waiting for autographs, like a tramp. Actually not quite since the staff knew me and offered hot chocolate in wee hours. Hungry Heart, Glory Days, Dancing in the Dark, Because the Night... so many bangers to suggest.
Yes, yes, yes!!!!!!
His most famous song “Born in the USA” was a banger man, no joke.
THIS is his most famous song.
Dude, Born to Run is considered a top 5 all time rock song...
Lol, guys I have nothing against Born to Run - I think it’s a great song!
@@DizzyDeeds66 Facts!
Nevertheless, born in the usa is a banger
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band is the band you are reacting to! This song still rocks! The fans fill up the stadium to see Bruce and his band play! "Born in the USA" is another great song of theirs!
Yes dears, we know how good Bruce is. His concerts can go on for four full hours. We haven't been recommending him for no reason. Listen to all his songs; the messages are real; the entertainment is real, the talent is real, his journey is real.
you guys should see him in concert.. the man is an energy machine.. First time I saw him people were running around the upper deck during the second part of his show.. no opening band, just him for almost three hours with a break in the middle.. full tilt the entire show..
You guys gotta check out "The Highwaymen" with their song named "Highwayman”. The Highwaymen were Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash.
Thanks for the suggestion Ryan - I've just listened to their most popular songs and their great, definitely on my playlist now.
The track 'Highwayman' reminds me of 'sailing to Philadelphia' by Mark Knopfler with James Taylor. They are both atmospheric. Have a great afternoon.
** they're great. Stupid autotext 😬
Springsteen would keep that level of energy up for 3 hours or more.
Ok. A listening suggestion. Band: Traffic. Track: The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys.
Yes. TRAFFIC ! love that song.
WHAT A GREAT SUGGESTION!!!
If you see something that looks like a star
And it's shooting up out of the ground
And your head is spinning from a loud guitar
Or something similar as this
Don't worry too much it will happen to you
We were children once playing with toys
But the sound that you're hearing is only the sound of the low spark of high heeled boys.
God damn, I haven't listened to this in a few years. Now I have to go and do that now.
Thanks.
Yes, we need some Traffic!!
Agreed...Great song by Traffic
Quicksilver Messenger, HAVE another Hit of fresh air. Great song.
Please react to "The Streets of Philadelphia" by Bruce Springsteen. He wrote and sang this song for the movie
"Philadelphia" in 1993. He won an Academy Award (Oscar) for it.
Hard to listen...my brother died of AIDS in 87. What a song and movie!!!! Thank you!!
So glad you guys are doing this. It’s amazing to hear your comments. Springsteen writes all his songs. Words and music. Since the 70’s! He’s still going strong. His shows do sell out immediately. He leaves it all on the stage every time.
Springsteen is one of my all-time favorite artists and while there are others that share that spot, there is nobody better in concert.
Freddie Mercury!!!!!!
@@christinebuckingham2480 Christina for as great as Freddy was he didn't do it 3.5 hrs a night every night of a whole tour .it's easier to be great for 2 hrs then 3 .5 hours . And yes I loved queen all you have to do is watch live aid to see how he had people in the palm of his hand
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band represent the people, the fans and we love them for that💙👍
Last time I saw Springsteen, Clarence's nephew was playing sax, brilliantly, I might add. He's carrying the torch!
What are the parking lots like you ask, well “the highway’s jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive....” 😉
Haaaaaaaaaaaa HAAAAAAAAAAAA awesome reply, I remember dancing on top of a porto potty!!!!
LOL
Yes. Hahaha. I can remember a few I'd have to wait over an hour for the lot to clear out enough to get my crappy car home and not overheated!🤣 The parking lot was the best time!! I'm now missing them days and those friends.
bruce “the Boss” and the guy on sax was Clarence
I miss Clarence. *SIGH*
@@DizzyDeeds66 Me, too. The Big Man. 💜
Don't forget Danny. RIP
I cry when I see the Big Man, Calrence forever
How cool though that his son has replaced him in the band. The next best perfect thing!
Bruce Springsteen never did less than a 3 hour concert! It was a once in a lifetime dream come true to see him perform. Clarence Clemmons, the sax player, was legandary!
If you guys love music this much online. I cant wait until you go to your first concert!! There is nothing like seeing live music!!
When this Covid mess is over, you guys need to go to a huge concert. They have huge speakers and video screens so you can see the stage. Crazy!
And the energy alone of being among that many people singing and having a blast...it is awesome!
@@lindi8873 yes the energy is incredible.
Agree 💯!!!!
I'm so thrilled y'all caught on to Bruce. Recommend Thunder Road and Jungleland off the same album as Born to Run. And yes, if you can ever get tickets to see him live, GO.
Agreed. Love that entire album!
And Backstreets. Which, in a depressing alternate reality, could be about the narrator of Born to Run 20 years later.
Saw Bruce on his Wrecking Ball tour. As he didn’t play all his old school hits, it was still one of the best concerts I ever saw. His energy is like no other. 3plus hours - non stop. He did a couple cover songs from the Motown era as it was in the Detroit area. The E-Street Band has an amazing catalog. They can literally play anything. So, yes, Everybody should go see him in concert.
I saw Bruce one time and these young guys noted that his energy was so intense for this one song and they could not imagine that he was going to do five or eight songs with the same energy. At the concert I saw, Bruce and his band took a break after eight songs. After they returned they did six more, all with the same pure intensity. Bruce and his band rocks!!!!!!!!!!!
The BOSS!! Springsteen is absolutely electric on stage. He’s amazing to see in person, and it doesn’t even matter if you’re in the very back! His presence fills the place up and before you know it a 3-hour concert is over. He’s a legend and, believe it or not, he still sells out stadiums to this day.
You guys need to watch more of Bruce! Such an ICON!

I'm going down
I love you two. Thank you to your mama. Hey how about TEMPTATIONS !! Some MOTOWN. My Girl
I love these brothers! This might be one of my favorites, although it makes me sad to know they've never been to a concert. I've been blessed that way.... waiting fir the day it can happen again. If I was rich I'd take these two to see Springsteen or the Stones.❤️
YES!!!! He’s 71 and was doing over 3 HOUR CONCERTS - non-stop from one song right into the next for 3.5-4 hours. You MUST go to one of his concerts!! You’ll thank us!! It’s an experience - you have to be there!!!!!!
You guys are so open! Not many young people appreciate Bruce Springsteen
Back in the 80s tickets were in the $20-$150 range depending on your seat
The BOSS! Everyone's favorite blue collar rocker!
“Blue collar” 😂
He's a limousine liberal. He wouldn't piss on a member of the working class even if they were on fire.
@@jamescrane2156 there’s always got to be some bitter asshole to ruin things. Congratulations. Today it’s you.
@@jamescrane2156 weird how he goes around the Jersey shore without a body guard. Hangs out at local bar, gets up on the stage with house band., pitches in at the local Food bank (besides donating $) and helps with Habitat builds..yep...not pissing on them
@@jamescrane2156 LOL enjoy being wrong 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah three+ hour shows. All at this level. No one else really comes close to his energy live. The Boss
I was sitting all the way in the back of the Los Angeles Coliseum when Bruce Springsteen performed there, September 21, 1988, along with Sting and Peter Gabriel and Tracy Chapman and Youssou D'Nour, the Human Rights Now Tour. There were 68,000 people there. And he was so darn good that we felt that he was singing right to us. He filled the whole stadium. So much energy. Such a phenomenon. Never forgot that concert, with the Los Angeles skyline all lit up in the distance, which we could also see from high up where we were sitting. Magic night. And I see comments below praising the sax player, Clarence Clemons. They were an amazing team, an amazing band.
You are so right Twins... the energy that the Boss puts out is astounding! I was at one of his concerts during his Born in the USA Tour and his energy is crazy. Just when you think it must be about over, Bruce and the band launch into a 5 song medley that leaves you begging for air!! haha!
They came for Clarence too. Tickets were $15.00
When Covid is over, you boys have to start going to concerts. So much fun
He used to play for 3-4 hours in his concerts
He still does.
Still does.
Saw him in 2017---3 hours and 40 minutes, no breaks
I’ve been to very few concerts in my life only one of them was a Bruce Springsteen concert. even now hearing born to run live, was one of the most exhilarating experiences in my whole life
His concerts last anywhere from31/2- 4 hours. Bruce does write a playlist for each concert, however they usually end up just playing what they and the audience want.🎼❤️🇦🇺❤️🇺🇸
Dancing in the dark was the song that made him notice him in the 80's
Cover of Time and Newsweek in the same week in 1975 ultimateclassicrock.com/bruce-springsteen-time-newsweek/ Back then that was ultimate mega-fame. You were late to the party 🤣
This is a great song but honestly, the album version sounds so much better than this live version.
Thinking the same.
@@SheriSoltes Me too. Remember hearing it when it first came out - I was in college, & it was playing everywhere. :-)
Do you have a poetry club ?
Sure it sounds better, but these kids need to see the raw energy on stage and in the crowd. That is rock music at its best!
@@albertpringle4918 🤣what?
A Jersey Boy back in our younger days And Bruces younger days . When he played a hometown show at Giants Stadium he would play 12 shows in 18 days and all would sell out!!!!!
Yup!!!! And we went mad!!!!!
Your reactions are wonderful and heartfelt. They didn't name him "The Boss" for nothing. The man and his band are Epic. So many incredible songs over the years. Enjoy.
It's great to see people of your generation still appreciating Bruce Springsteen's music. Bruce continues to sell out stadiums and still tours the world even though he is 74 years old now. He maintains the same energy in every 3-5 hour live concert.
