As a college student turning 20 years old back in December of 1980 I lost my virginity to the first girl I ever loved the night before seeing Bruce live for the first time. It may be wishful thinking (or the fact that I have been a huge Bruce fan since Spring of 1979) but I could swear this song was playing on her stereo at the time. 42 years later I have two grown daughters, a wonderful wife of 3 decades and I am still friends with that girl from 1980 (who I have known since 1977).
Lost one of the most dear people in the world to me this morning, and I feel like Bruce (and Glen) are singing directly to me. Tears streaming down my face I know things are going to be alright.
Love this song so much. Originally by Bruce of course, but Glen just adds his special touch to make it that much better. It’s like it was written for him to cover. ❤️ Love this duet with them both.
I came out of a Dublin pub one cold December night; Glen was walking right in front of me. Just outside the pub two young teenage boys were busking. Glen stopped to listen, me too. After a song or two Glen asked the kids if he could play a song with them. The young boys were blown away with him. And he stayed way too long from his girlfriend’s point of view. Glen the main man in Dublin. Loved very much.
Glen is a poet and a just a great guy. His talent and humility are both at the same high level. He does not forget his friends and is the man you want to call your mate. One of a Kind.
As a side note... I saw Bruce preform Drive All Night in the early 80's in Jersey with Clarence and Glen's duo with Bruce is just as good if not better and I've been following Bruce since '75.
I lived in Dublin in the late 80's. Glen was a regular busker and performer at the Dave Murphy sessions upstairs at McDaids. Guy was always top gentleman and kind.
Magical. This had me smiling the whole time. Bruce got that look of someone so happy when someone else can sing your own song with the same conviction 😎
When i was on school a friend mine uses to listen Bruce Springsteen and recorded me a cassete and i listen and sing this song to many times. To many time ago and now too.
These two boys are on the same page. Just listen to the music and the mutual respect they have for one another comes shining through . I am so fortunate to hear these two perform together. Thank you for sharing this video. Very special.
Imagine the euphoric rush glen experienced once he sang his first words ,the appreciation of the crowd , the approval , being a humble man that he is I bet bet he could of cried with joy , wonderful performance by both men
at 6:21 Bruce brings the band down from that incredible "heart and soul" high of Glen and Bruce sharing vocals, with just a slow wave of the arm...so perfect, maybe one of the best Bruce duets of all time, and there are a lot to choose from.
I literally just got chills and a tear in my eye hearing Jake play the sax. Never heard this song before but I just love it! I don’t think any other version could be as passionate as this one.
I've never been much of a Springsteen fan. But as I get older, and see him with other artists I really like, I start to get his appeal. It was a brilliant move to have Glen play with him at an Irish gig. Peace.
love glen, had bruce on covers of newsweek and time. our textbooks for current events. Nixon was on a bunch. But bruce sounds better here than then. have to check out latest. After I listen to this a couple more times class of 76
Amazing!! just plain amazing.... you can see the respect for each other, the chemistry between them and perhaps the admiration for each other..... amazing!!...you guys are the best!!
I love Bruce's introspection here. He gives props to Glenn..almost paternally...like "yeah...this kid has it" even though Glenn is far from a kid. This video is full of win on so many levels.
the only problem with songs like this is that they have to end.... this was magical, especially with the view of the stadium filled to the brim. everyone is on the same wavelength, regardless of where they are sitting, when springsteen and his band are playing...... he takes us somewhere wonderful as if it is his sole purpose in life. saint bruce, the melody maker.....
WOW...just wow! The Boss on high harmony killing it! And such joy between them all. These brilliant musicians truly are blood brothers. Nothing makes me feel quite as emotional as a Springsteen song. This is music and this is love.
I was so blessed to have been there to witness this ... Absolutely blew my mind! One of the best performances by two of the best live performers in the world ... #DriveAllNight #TheBoss #BruceSpringsteen #GlenHansard #Kilkenny
Fantastic! Jake's tone in his first solo is wonderfully familiar. The look on Bruce's face, it's like he's feeling a pleasant visitation. Oh yeah, the singing isn't half bad either! {]B^{D}
i saw a movie with glenn and then, i knew that simple guy with an extraordinary soul, unbeateable spiri for his music an lyrics... oh god bless you glenn you rock my rock and roll world....
when i 1st heard this song i was blown away by it then i hear this version fookin amazing from the same small town as glen i can honestly say he is a statement for the working class and to share a stage with the BOSS is mind blowing you made it pal BALLYMUN'S FINEST
OMG thank you thank you thank you for this!!! I love Bruce & this song especially and had no idea this existed!!! Glen has become one of my current faves over the last years and this pairing is just stunning!!! Thank you so very much for posting!!!!

I've always thought this was the most romantic song -- not just of Bruce's, but most romantic song I've ever heard.
Bruce and Glen poured their hearts into this song!...Amazing!

I Love the saxophone in this song... Wow.. ! ❤
Two great voices! Love th hem both but Glen holds a special place in my heart. And that sax!!! Beautiful show. Thanks!❤
Glen's non-stop grin is the best thing about this video.......he's loving it!
The musicianship of everyone on that stage is impeccable. What a beautiful collaboration of these two voices ❤
Love this song so much. Originally by Bruce of course, but Glen just adds his special touch to make it that much better. It’s like it was written for him to cover. ❤️ Love this duet with them both.
Bruce just smiling when Glen sings.... That’s why he’s the boss, he knows talent when he hears it too. Rock on Gentlemen 🌹
No one is better..
Unbelievable unreal never get tired.
BECAUSE THIS HE is OUR BOSS AND LIVING LEGEND ALWAYS...
If there’s two artists more passionate about what they do I’m yet to see them. Love them both.
And I was there that night!!
Absolutely amazing! Life is short, enjoy it!
Two greats right there.....Glen looks so pleased to be up on stage with the Boss.....his version of this song with Eddie Vedder is brilliant
I absolutely love Glen's version with Eddie Vedder & Jake Clemons.
excellent, glen so under rated

Gave me a new appreciation of Springsteen and Glen Hansard (i.e. moved me to tears for some reason)
Emotion, emotion, emotions... Talent and charisma!!
Magical. This had me smiling the whole time. Bruce got that look of someone so happy when someone else can sing your own song with the same conviction 😎
Omg! Has there ever been a more powerful soulful song ever, Ever!!!!
Wow... love the lyrics of this song. Beautiful song for a man to sing for his lady.💗💗
Glen is a great character - he's so appreciative of other artists.
Him and Marketa were magic.
Soooo gorgeous!! I don’t know how I missed this song of his, just so grateful I found it now 🥲 ♥️
Same!
That was special. And the sax gets me every time!
You are two angels of art !!! stay, pls with us forever and longer , pls, pls, pls !!! LOVE !!!
Utterly brilliant...one of my favourite songs from the River played magnificently.
If there was ever a greater love song written, I haven't heard it yet. God bless you Bruce. Greatest ever and we love you.
When i was on school a friend mine uses to listen Bruce Springsteen and recorded me a cassete and i listen and sing this song to many times. To many time ago and now too.
just beautiful, two such great, soulful voices together, with this heartbreaking song, could not be better, thanks for it!!!
It's so amazing, getting feelings that I can't explain, absolutely wonderful!
Due grandissime voci!!!Bruce e Glenn!!grazie!!jeck sei sublime!!!😇😕😍😍😘😘🎷🎸🎸♥️♥️♥️💯💯💯
Has there ever been a better special guest appearance at a Springsteen concert than this? If so, I'd love to see it.
I just love Bruce and Glen singing
two of my most beloveds... doesn't get any better than this
These two boys are on the same page. Just listen to the music and the mutual respect they have for one another comes shining through . I am so fortunate to hear these two perform together. Thank you for sharing this video. Very special.
Glenn Pratt , your comments are 100% bang on the money
OMG!! Soul grabbing tune that fills and heals big time.. thanks so much #brucespringsteen and #glenhansard🔥

every audience that sees bruce live needs to understand that
Fricking awesome, the joy of Glen and Bruce is just infectious.
simply superb,magical
Wowww.... I have no words to describe this, I can smile and cry at the same time... Thank you guys
I'm with you....I cried while smiling
What a gracious moment from Bruce...to give up the stage to the next generation...and then to share it with them. Beautiful.
at 6:21 Bruce brings the band down from that incredible "heart and soul" high of Glen and Bruce sharing vocals, with just a slow wave of the arm...so perfect, maybe one of the best Bruce duets of all time, and there are a lot to choose from.
I love how Glen sounds so Irish. Some artists lose the accent when they sing but Glen sounds fantastic. Always.
I literally just got chills and a tear in my eye hearing Jake play the sax. Never heard this song before but I just love it! I don’t think any other version could be as passionate as this one.
@Amma's World, enjoy. ruclips.net/video/6uv2GUilKgM/видео.html
What an honour to perform with the big man.
Bruce is iconic. Glen is magical energy and voice together. Have seen Bruce several times. Need to see Glen!!
Update: I’ve now seen Glen 3 times! He’s just amazing.
I've never been much of a Springsteen fan. But as I get older, and see him with other artists I really like, I start to get his appeal. It was a brilliant move to have Glen play with him at an Irish gig. Peace.

TheMisterMonkeyman go to a concert close especially with his horns. Back in the day it was just Clarence, Steve, The Prof., Gary, Danny, and Max.
@@TheJamiealex the classic setting :) man i miss danny and clarence.....although jake probably was the best replacement they could find :)
Both my parents, separated, have become Bruce fans. 20yrs after me lol but says something
Meu sonho conhecer Bruce sreengsteeen
Two fabulous musicians from two different generation in music. Both fabulous and a pleasure to listen to. We'll done you boys
Amazing!! just plain amazing.... you can see the respect for each other, the chemistry between them and perhaps the admiration for each other..... amazing!!...you guys are the best!!
One of my all-time favorite Bruce songs. Love Hansard's singing on this one!
I love Bruce's introspection here. He gives props to Glenn..almost paternally...like "yeah...this kid has it" even though Glenn is far from a kid. This video is full of win on so many levels.
lsd2772 here comes the night.
in fairness Glen does look like a kid on his birthday :)
@@TheJamiealex the ⁰top man ⁰giving another ⁰man a top chance.
Very beautiful. Springsteen is great⁰$great
No better music ever made this side of heaven...
This has always been my favorite song of Bruce’s. It just burns in the soul. Now this is my favorite live duo.
Just a massive song and performance ❤
the only problem with songs like this is that they have to end.... this was magical, especially with the view of the stadium filled to the brim. everyone is on the same wavelength, regardless of where they are sitting, when springsteen and his band are playing...... he takes us somewhere wonderful as if it is his sole purpose in life. saint bruce, the melody maker.....
Quanta dolcezza questa canzone e bellissima!! Cantata da voi due diventa sublime!!!♥️♥️😍😍😍😘😘😘🎸🎸🎷💫🌟🌲⛄🗽

This!!! It just doesn't get any better. This is absolutely beautiful. I am in awe.
This is quickly becoming my favorite Bruce tune.
When the sax came in, I could not help remembering dear Clarence. Another one that left us early.
Read my mind
Glen looks like he's living the dream of his life. Literally.
Two Oscars winners.
This is beautiful on so many levels.
Awesome.
I wonder if Bruce ever watches his videos and thinks - This is a really great song! Bruce is so generous with his duets.
This is so beautiful and unreal.
This is really powerful. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!
My Old hero Bruce with my newest hero Glen...... Amazing
I was so blessed to have been there to witness this ... Absolutely blew my mind! One of the best performances by two of the best live performers in the world ... #DriveAllNight #TheBoss #BruceSpringsteen #GlenHansard #Kilkenny

How happy does Glen look? He's wonderful and to be playing with one of the greatest must be so good. I'd love to see this live.

Glen is my new hero.
Glen is an epic singer

Jake's tone in his first solo is wonderfully familiar. The look on Bruce's face, it's like he's feeling a pleasant visitation.
Oh yeah, the singing isn't half bad either! {]B^{D}
