This is hands down my favorite version of this song. They absolutely killed it.
That primal scream that Tom lets out during his solo is nuts … love to watch people who are in a zone like that regardless of what they’re doing
Grapes of Wrath. Excellent book and movie.
My license plate is “Tom Joad”
@@patrickkeenan8109 that was you this morning ???

This is part of the 25th Rock&Roll Hall of Fame anniversary in 2009. Great performances and collaborations between living legends. Bruce Springsteen, Simon and Garfunkel, U2, John Fogerty, Stevie Wonder, Billie Joel, Aretha Franklin, Metallica. Pretty ridiculous amount of talent got on stage and it realy deserves more views than it has.
Tom Morello is a Harvard graduate, and works with unions quite a bit. His mom was a teacher and fought so much injustice
That explains his communist ways.
@@MatthewC137 How dare you sully the name of communism by calling Tom a Communist, he’s much worst than a Communist, he’s a Democrat!!😂😂
@@MatthewC137 damn dude...i never get to write this sh*t first...these guys never realize they do their own oppressor's bidding ..but once they get a taste of the sweet life theyre all in on sticking to the script and they know the gravy train rug will be snatched from under them if they dont..also communism is capitalism.. there's only capitalism except when you're at the top of the food chain.(not your tony soprano organized crime family but real organized crime...you know...banking type families) then you just get to print the money and dole it around to get others to obliviously(at some point ) do the dirty work
People sleep on Morello. Dude is a guitar magician
And the 2nd best guitarist in this video.
who? hes been a superstar all century...people sleep on mark lanegan (r.i.p.),jimmy chamberlain, william cashion... people sleep on mark farris,barrett martin ,tony butler.. this is fun..someone else got a lineup where tom can play and be the biggest name yet not be the most impressive musician..and that is no dig on tom
@@chrisross-fd3fo I think you missed my point.
Hard disagree.
Also it’s funny that these two liberals are singing a song that is more relevant today than ever and it’s the establishment they promote who caused it
@@GregoryPicard hey sorry im not too good at the navigation part of you tube..i was responding to freeside about sleeping on tom morello..im pretty sure i made my point to him..btw i knew what u meant but i didnt know if u meant bruce or another who may have played on the song
Tom Morello is a guitar god!
My late brother’s favorite song. He passed before this performance happened. My favorite song by the Boss is The River…both songs are fire 🔥
These two do an entire concert. You’ll have to search for it but it’s worth it.
Tom joined the E Street Band when Stevie couldn't make it and toured Australia and the US. He did a lot of concerts with Bruce!
@@cfraase Awesome
Morello is one of the most respected guitar players of this century. And I'm sure you knew, he was the lead guitarist for Rage Against The Machine. Love this!!
Audio Slave too.
They just performed this together again last month in LA. I watched the livestream.....still amazing!! Bruce will be 75 in September, if you have not seen him live....Go!! One of the best live performers ever.
I don't think he's near as good as when he was younger, I'd rather watch his old concerts.
@@tootz1950yes, because we all get old at some point.
That was indeed incredible! Never heard it before but am definitely going to check it out again. Wow, they put their all into it!
Tom Morello is my favorite electric player to watch. He plays with his body. (Rage Against the Machine & Audioslave)
Into my 50’s and many miles on these treads, and this song resonates more than ever…
I just saw this video and loved it. Wow! The violin was beautiful. The duet of guitars was goosebump time. Tom was especially fantastic.
I love this performance. It's one of the best live performances I've seen.
That was FUCKING INCREDIBLE! I am not a big Bruce Springsteen fan but, I am pissed I haven’t seen this before.
Perfect response! Same here.
Dude….less is more! Chopping the shit out of the video! And Morello is all smoke and mirrors with all the effects he uses! Delay pedal making sound like more notes being played and sound big. Great guitarists don’t need all that to create a tone and sound they use their hands! Springsteens work on solo parts much more enjoyable and gets more respect from me
You need to review Springsteens Jungle land
Live in New York City 🎸🎷
@@kevinbundy7422 no live versions first lol
i really wish that lyrics were in a language i couldnt understand...because often theyre used for manipulation and preaching and propaganda.. but dear lord the vocals and music are usually worth it lol..that being said i find Jungleland the only bruce song worth it to have to hear him converse on other subjects in real life..i bite the bullet on a couple of others. sane thing with csny.(crosby) stranglehold or pfloyd make anyone else have the same response lol.
Rage Against The Machine.
That's Tom Morello.
And RATM rages FOR the machine. The last few years made that clear.
I saw that song during that tour, Springsteen always brings it, but Tom Morello is a monster. The look on your face when he launched into his big solo was priceless. Springsteen and his band always give it all for a really long and quality show, but adding Morello really made it special.
Go check out some of the other Tom Morello videos, he's incredible.
Unfortunately, popular music and popular "musical artists" today have mastered computer programs, while the artist of previous generations mastered their instrument(s) and there is something about watching a master at their craft, like Tom Morello, perform. You can see the hours they have poured into this. And you can't get that same feeling when you are watching artists just sing to a track they made on a computer. It speaks to a lack of dedication and mastery we have today and I think this is why music of the past is so much more compelling, so much more dynamic, and so much more interesting. Glad you watched this one!
Best newer song and kudos to Bruce bringing Tom in. Genius 🎉. You MUST do Jungleland. 2 minutes of the top sax solo in rock history by the big man Clarence and now being done by his nephew. God given talent! You won’t regret it. ❤
Morello is GOATED love RATM and AudioSlave
Polo. Having watched your content for a while now. I had a feeling you would like that one. As promised you have never seen anyone play guitar like that. A style all his own. Tom is lead guitarist for “Rage Against The Machine”. In my opinion one of the best of this generation. So happy you enjoyed it. Great Reaction. 😂
Don't forget that Tom was part of Audioslave with Chris Cornell from Soundgarden.
An amazing band.
@@matthewdrake4385yes agree 1000% love audioslave Chris Cornell and Tom Morello together is WOW GREATNESS!! 💜
Eric Burdon & War - Spill The Wine (1970). It's in my truck playlist. ❤❤
More Morello please. He was in Audioslave, try Cochise and Like a Stone. Also in Rage Against the Machine of course, Killing in the Name of and Down Rodeo are epic, as is most of their music.
You ought to play some early stuff like Born to Run, Clarence Clemons was the sax player, sadly he passed away in 2011 he was awesome
Epic performance!
Beautiful ❤
The Lyrics are from "The Grapes of Wrath", novel written by John Steinbeck and published in 1939 Link -> ruclips.net/video/4pu0hMs4unk/видео.html
I love strings too ❤ I've never been a huge Bruce S. fan, but this song is so, sadly true. Love Tom Morrello, amazing guitarist. I'm a pianist and sang in bands. Lost my voice years back, miss singing a lot! Love your reactions.
This is amazing. never heard a guitar do that!!!
That was absolutely amazing. I’m solid Gen X and I’ve never seen this. How?Why have I not heard this.. Wow.
Why is it that I watch other videos and can work through it yet, I turn on your videos and I stop everything to watch. I never really watched or listened to Bruce Springsteen. I liked this one and couldn't work, I had to watch. Love the ending of your show with Tom Hanks. It makes me smile hearing his uplifting "Fire". You are a breath of fresh air. Keep up the great videos. Hugs!
So glad we had a chance to spend time together listening to one of my all time "go to" songs by The Boss. I enjoyed every minute!
Tom Morello is a god, and his mama is truly The One!!
Excellent performance, I am always Amazed by Tom Morello. He in in the
Song with Chris Cornell called "like a
Stone". His solo in that is Incredible!!!!
❤️❤️
Thanks POLO! I went and listened to it again and added my comment. Awesome video!
You must listen to 'Rage Against the Machine's' version of this. Tom Morello was the Guitarist for Rage Against the Machine. I believe You did a reaction to one of their songs in the past.
Caught a Springsteen show, Melbourne OZ, the man and his band are brilliant
Such a good collaboration,who knew ❤..saw em do this look live,very good 👍🏽 morello with the boss 🔥
I saw a video of him with Joan Baez on the same stage. And now Bruce Springsteen. My first view. I actually didn’t know that he sang. This was really cool. I know he used to jam with Adam from Tool, In high school.
This is great!
Wow incredible performance, I did not know this existed. You are right we failed.
Omg bro, only the second track of Bruce? You're in for a treat! You need to check out New York City Serenade Live in Rome. It's an epic performance typical of Bruce Springsteen shows. I'm a boomer from New Jersey and have seen him perform live 5 times. They all were high energy and stellar performances from all of the band. Bruce is an extremely capable guitarist and has surrounded himself with top-notch musicians. Perhaps it explains why he still sells out shows nearly 6 decades running 🏃♀️ btw I'm looking forward to more reactions from you as you continue your musical journey 😀 😉
I'm a lifelong Springsteen fan and would love more of you seeing he and his band, especially live. Since you love violin so much, how about Ray Chen performing Vivaldi's Summer or Winter?
Thank you for providing such thoughtful insights.
Hi Polo! This is a great song! ❤
Hey Polo great reaction. To answer your question Bruce has dozens of great songs and performances and this song is a deep cut. He and the E Street Band are legendary for power packed 3 to 4 hour performances, hence the sweat. A couple elemental Bruce tracks to start with are Thunder Road and Born to Run.
I really the way this song was done Beautiful!
Born to run for the energy on stage and The River ❤!
A couple of things: Excellent review. Yes, the studio cut is clearer, and unbelievably intense, seek it out. You will not be disappointed. Try some Springsteen cuts and performances. Bruce and the E Street band live shows are phenomenal experiences. And Tom Morello OWNS that guitar. Enveloping, dynamic, stunning skill.
I've watched that video a hundred times. I can't believe it has so few views. Tom Morello is so innovative and entertaining, and Springsteen is so intense
I believe... I mean... I'm not sure but I believe not may people did feel and get from this video what I've got.
Bruce Springsteen made me mature up pretty quickly since I heard him for the very first time in USA For Africa signing on "We Are The World" and in the "Trapped" track at the end of side 1 or the beginning of side 2 of the album I bought, the very first I bought on my own, in the old musicassette format when that album was released. Since then, after buying "Born In USA" and "Nebraska" as immediate follow ups, Bruce made me grow up as a man, with a conscience and making me, a kid in early teens making me fall in love for the United States of America I didn't know anything about outside of what Hollywood had for me whose passion for Hollywood B&W movies was shared to me by my father. Fun fact... my father hated the fact I bought "Born In USA", which was a sacrilege for a Classic Music purist like him, and made that album disappear. That alone made me even more dedicated to The Boss!
Now... let's talk about Tom Morello shall we... Rage Against The Machine... a life-changer for someone with a political sensibility like I have, a passion and drive which led me to be active as a student with my role as Students Representative in my region in Italy for several years in the early mid 90s. I've bought and listened all the RATM albums I could, thanks to my cousin Nicola who made me find them out. I have listened Tom and Zack and the others, danced as well on that RATM rhythm... we all know what happened to that band, how they basically melted and lost themselves without being what they represented no more... a political voice to be heard and taken as a life awareness based gift.
So, that been said, please... just look at the video again and look at Tom, do not pay attention to the monster riffs he made us used to expect from him, rather focus on his singing. Dammit... how many times have you seen him singing!?? I don't remember... Zack would have overshadowed any singer with a voice within TATM, Chris Cornell would have overshadowed anybody within Audioslave and any other band in the world aside Layne Staley and a bunch of few others like them.
Just look at Tom Morello playing alongside a living and evergreen legend like The Boss... and just tell me you don't see it... please, tell me you don't see it because that would be a slap on my face. Can't you see how happy he is, like I do? He looks like he feel finally being part of a political piece of art in The Ghost Of Tom Joad" like he was singing a political message which is universal or universal should be. "Arm The Homeless" he wrote on his guitar. He clearly owes that passion and drive to his own mother and I can understand that so damn well.
I suffer for not having never ever had a chance to attend a Bruce Springsteen and E-Street Band live concert, and probably I won't ever have that chance in what is left in a lifetime for me. Speaking of mothers, I can speak about mine... she also was a teacher as Tom's mom was who shared to me his passion for politics and society and she was a student when the '68 was a thing and political awareness was the key in people's life when it still mattered. I just wish I had a chance to go attending to a Bruce Springsteen live concert with her and despite she's way too old and yet alive we'll never have a chance. That makes my heart cry. performances like this shake me outside and deep within to the core. Thanks Tom Morello. Thanks, most of all, Bruce Springsteen... my dear beloved Boss... for having made me grow up a hopefully decent and definitely overall a better man. You Bruce are one of the very few who's changed my life!
Incredible video. i agree, hard to believe it has so few views.
Been watching your channel for awhile now…usually a lurker but I appreciate what you are doing here. You made a comment on a post from the past…’I like my music with a bit of sadness’ I’ve been wired this way my entire life. Stuck with me. Atlantic Canadian so your Tragically Hip appreciation was awesome! You call out the violin in this reaction…Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds- O Children (find a live version) … one of the heaviest non metal songs I know… keep on keeping on…love what you do
You need to listen to the duet of disturbed and Ann Wilson. It’s the best thing I’ve heard in a long time. I’m 61 and I did not think I would be listening and liking heavy metal at my age but I liked it when I was younger. Also listen to the light. Watch the video it is POWERFULLY!!!. Love you and your channel. Sheila
My first as well, but consider Tom Joad his best.
I was lucky enough to see Bruce and Tom perform this live one of times I saw Springsteen, not long before we lost Clarence. I was so upset I missed them in LA last month. Great review, I really enjoy watching you experience new music for you. ❤
This song is technically a sequel. Springsteen wrote it as a modern follow-up to Woody Guthrie’s “Tom Joad.”
Tom Joad is the main character of John Steinbeck's book "Grapes of Wrath". Steinbeck was a Socialist and the book includes a highway, a preacher, and the very words at the end of the song (cop beatin a guy/look for me. ma) are taken from the book.
@@Gekokujo76 yeah the breastfeeding part at the end is gut-wrenching.
Tom is always a joy to watch on guitar, but this is the first time I beard him sing, Very Dylan-esque.
Morello in this live set, gives me BTTF Marty playing guitar at the prom vibes.
There are a lot of great guitar masters but Tom is a god walkin' among men...So fuckin' great...
Saw Tom doing this live with Bruce in LA - 2009, just killed it. I still like the live energy of the first time Tom got up to play Ghost of Tom Joad live with Bruce, and the entire back story of Tom learning the song in one key, showing up to play and Bruce telling him they were doing it in a different key, "you can do it, and it will be great."
New to grandma ❤ I wanted to play the violin 🎻 so much in school. Momma said we could not afford it ❤ born on 13th Ave. Down the hill from the state penitentiary 😂 looking for ✌️ Polo ❤❤❤
Now we’re talking about some great guitar work! Never seen it before. Some likeness to Joe Satriani but this was spectacular. Hidden gem. Morello was one with the guitar.
The rage agsisnt the machine version of this is 1000 times better!
The guitarist to Tom’s right as we’re looking at him is Stevie Van Zant, who has played with Springsteen for decades, and was in The Sopranos
Love Tom Morello!! Springsteen is great too!
Love this song! Rage Against the Machine does this tune such justice with their version.
Great stuff!! The Boss and Tom Morello. You should look at Bruce Springsteen prove it all night live 1978. Tom played for Rage Against The Machine.
There are actually several versions of this performance that's why the views are so few.
Tom was the guitarist for Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave, and Profits of Rage. He’s a genius.
The redhead is Patti Scialfa, Springsteen's wife and long-time member of the E Street Band.
Billy Idol - EYES WITHOUT A FACE
Tom Morello is one of the most innovative guitarist surround. You’ve probably heard him before - he is the guitar player for Rage Against the Machine: If you haven’t done a video yet reviewing their song killing in the name of - you’re missing out
This is 🔥. I love the Rage Against The Machine cover of this. This is my first time seeing this version. I love it!!
You have GOT to listen to The River (title track of Bruce's 1980 album).
I watch this video about every 6 months!
If you want to check the full power of Bruce you should check “The River” live from the No Nukes concert. And Tom Morello, where to start - anything from Rage Against the Machine.
Bruce Springsteen's greatest album is Nebraska and the second is The Ghost of Tom Joad, he's at his best solo with an acoustic guitar. The greatest performance you can watch, is Bruce singing My Father's House, recorded by someone in the audience. It's him at his most honest, vulnerable and greatest.
Never knew of, heard, or saw this. Thanks Polo!!!!! Tom helped Bruce with the vocals there at the end for sure! But he excels at guitar! How did I miss this?
You have Bruce…Steve Van Zandt (watch the Sopranos), Max Weinberg who played in Conan O’Brians house band on late night, and Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine! This gives me goosebumps from the first one. Try some Rage!!! Renegades of Funk!
"Youngstown" from Live in New York City is a must listen, as is "Jungleland" from the same concer†. Also recommend the studio cut "New York City Serenade," and "Kittys Back" Live at Hammersmith Odeon.
Great reaction! ❤
Thanks for watching. Most of my requests come from here and I also read the comments below. If you want to support the show you can do that here www.patreon.com/poloreacts or show your love for the channel by buying me a coffee using this link www.buymeacoffee.com/poloreacts
Here's another passionate guitar player giving it all he's got, check out Rory Gallagher. . . Shadow Play live at Montreux 1979
Go deep on Springsteen, especially live. Album: "Live: 1975-1985". Some are just going to be audio, but. . . you have no idea what is waiting for you. Backstreets. Darkness at the Edge of Town. Thunder Road. Badlands. Independence Day. The River (WITH the intro). War. And that's the tip of his iceberg.
😂..the dude
Dayum... I've never seen Tom Morello play outside of RATM or Audioslave (in which he's 🔥)... But I'm absolutely loving this "David Gilmour-ish" version!!! Ok, he started going nuts as I'm writing this, but still!!! LOL 😂Pure Awesomeness!!!
I kinda stopped listening to Bruce ever since bootcamp... unfortunately the "Born in the USA" song had the perfect cadence to our drilling and it was played RELENTLESSLY!!! LOL However...I really love this song and this is actually the first time I've heard it ❤
Gotta do Rage now👍
@ 7:00 Tom starts a Maria Taylor sound, check her out Matador song 2011, amazing overlooked artist
This is the only song Bruce has recorded twice. It headlined his "Ghost of Tom Joad" album as an acoustic song and then he recorded this version with Tom Morello for his "High Hopes" album.
Tom Morello is/was the guitarist for Rage Against The Machine....if you don't know that band (with Zac!), check them out. A VERY INTENSE BAND.
This is well past the original post date for the original video. That is (however many) from a repost.
The Rage against the machine cover of this song is powerful and better imo. Definitely check it out
Springsteen is known for his epic live performances up to 3 hours long. I saw him live in Cin a few years ago and Tom Morello was filling in at that time for Little Stevie who was doing some of his TV work. He is a crazy good guitarist and fun to watch. Springsteen's wife is on acoustic guitar, I believe it's his sister or sister in law on violin. He Sax man, Clarence Clemons, passed away too early and they had a brilliant chemistry with each other. Even the song "10th Ave Freezeout" is about Clarence. A relative of his, I think his nephew, took his place on sax and is a great addition, but doesn't have the stage presence of Clarence the "Big Man". Assuming Bruce is probably late 60's or a bit older here and still doing it. Great band and one of the best ones live, ever.
You should check out City of Ruin. There’s a great live version on RUclips (think it’s from Spain) but Eddie Vender’s version is fantastic as well.
Polo will you kindly review , Page & Plant - MOST HIGH- Top of the Pops, March 26, 1998 from BlocksVideos. I think you will absolutely love it! This song is on Page and Plants album, Walking into Clarksdale. Robert Plant has been to Clarksdale, Mississippi, the home of The Blues. Michael Lee, drummer is great in this video. ENJOY! Take a trip with the originators of the greatest band!
Fun fact: Tweeter and the Monkey Man, by the Traveling Willburys, was written by Bob Dylan with Tom Petty after they went to a Springsteen concert. They were throwing out terms from Springsteen's life and songs and working the lyrics around them
In my opinion this is the best live performance of all time.
I SO appreciate your reactions... Tom Morello was a beast in Rage Against the Machine.... i think you've reacted to them before.
