It's been a LONG time since I've seen these guys together! Same energy, vibe and a 'tad' more swagger as the first time I saw them at the Upstage Club 1970. Miss seeing them together at the Pony in the 70's on those special nights. TJ Shark River Hills
I'm actually moving out of New Jersey at the end of this month. I've spent my entire life (29 years old) in this state and listening to this song makes me think of all the experiences, friends, family and literally a lifetime of memories I'll leave behind here. Onto new beginnings!
I just saw Southside two nights ago at the Hard Rock in South Florida and he and the band were fantastic. The last time I saw the Jukes live was in 1981 and they are just as good as ever. They don't come this far south often and it was a real pleasure seeing one of the best, true to the music, bands around.
Great song. The older one grows, the line about "raising a glass to the comrades we've lost" takes on a new personal meaning. This song, performed by Bruce, Southside Johnny, and Stevie evokes much about our lives---regardless if we ever had a band or not. Terrific tune by an unforgettable group of New Jersey guys---and this tribute is from a Pittsburgh guy who has seen Bruce, Southside, and company numerous times.
After a 13-year break, Steve Van Zandt reunited with Southside Johnny in 1991 for their fourth album together. It's an unashamedly nostalgic disc, highlighted by "It's Been a Long Time," which features him, Van Zandt and Springsteen reminiscing about the old days on the Jersey Shore. "We lived in a time and a world of our own," sings Southside. "Making up the rules as we went along." The album received raves, but in the grunge era there wasn't much appetite for a new Springsteen album, let alone one by the Asbury Jukes. Bruce Factor: He sang on one song and donated "All the Way Home," which he eventually recorded himself on 2005's Devils and Dust. ," which he eventually recorded himself on 2005's Devils and Dust.

I was there (at the Stone Pony) when they shot this. It was awesome and after shooting Jon did come out and they all played together. What a show. I'm still mad that I left my camera in the car. Jon did not sing on this song.
an incredible band that was so underrated and under - appreciated - so sad that greatness missed them - but the fans will always be raising a glass to one of the best rock outfits ever
I have no soul (there is no god) but this song is godlike if only god were not so malevolent in the good books, both damn books. Which he is but few really understand the dogma and deeds of the good books. God's vengeance is on display in the good books. Ever really read the entire bible? “The gods we’ve made are exactly the gods you’d expect to be made by a species that is about half a chromosome away from the chimpanzee.” - Christopher Hitchens The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobia, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully. In the New Testament he gets worse.
@@matteg490 Imaginary God was a vindictive as hell. And Jesus is more punishing than bastardy god. He believed and liked the idea of eternal punishment or never spoke out against it. Infinite torture for you. His criteria for getting into heaven is contemptible, disgusting - believe in me, that’s all it takes. A close reading of the Old Testament is filled with horrendous lessons on how to treat people. A god that kills almost everyone on Earth in a flood: that’s pretty crazy. A god that commands Joshua to murder all the women and children except for the young girls, who can be taken as sex slaves. The 10 commandments tell you that working on Saturday is a sin and the .first four commandments are vanity plate for god. God eventually goes into great detail about how to deal with cattle thieves, isolating women on their period, and which fabrics to wear at the same time; but nowhere in those ten commandments, or in the six hundred and three that come after it, does it say “Don’t abuse children,” or “Don’t enslave people,” or “Don’t rape.” The Bible was written by human beings at a time when stealing a person’s livestock was a crime punishable by death, but raping a young girl was easily remedied by following it up with a marriage proposal. Jesus cleaned it up but still believe in Hell for moral non-believers (atheists are as moral as believers .. look it up in any scientific study). Jesus and religion is a shakedown; I got matches and you're flammable.

Just one coat between us and we never felt cold - We were never gonna get old Stephen wrote some of Southside's best songs. Actually for me this is Johnny's best, up there with This Time it's for Real. Dedicated to the lovely ladies under the boardwalk and up on the roof.
Beth I remember one night in Washington DC I became friends with one of the roadies.. I always got back stage passes... He (Bob) Got SSJ to meet me for the first time in my life! I was speechless!.. I can't find you on F/B but if you would like to be pals hit me up okay? Kathy Madden from Brevard NC.. Hope to hear from you! We can probably share many tales. Even about Bruce Springsteen...
I remember one snowy night in December around the holidays I was told by a good friend of mine that Bruce was going to play some new material because the band was going to due some shows so I get to the Pony walk in the place was packed(good sign)my friend was correct The Cats were playing some time later that night I see more mics being set up on stage and here comes Bruce,TheBig Man,Danny,Little Steve,Southside and as you may already know they blew the roof off...
I always loved Stevies place in this song. ("Better Days" album is a treasure in my opinion) Met him at a D.C. Train station in 2012 the day after a "Wrecking Ball" concert.. I was 45 .. felt 15 again
It's been a long time since I hung out in Asbury, The Pony and Convention Hall, watching Bruce and Southside play, cruising the circuit. Close to 50 years now.

Thank you Mark Gervais for introducing me to this music when I was about !$ or !% years old, some 39 years ago. You and your family have been a great influence and I greatly appreciate all you have done for me and my family.
As a Springsteen fan myself, I’d love to go one day to New Jersey to visit Asbury and Freehold among other holy places for Springsteen fans, I’ve been once to NYC but I’d love to go one day to New Jersey
Saw Southside last year in Clearwater. Fantastic. No disrespect to Bruce and the Stones, but the Jukes are the Best. Will see them on Weds. At Tampa HR. Amped Up.
"It´s Been a Long Time" written by Bruce, recorded with Little Steven Jon Bon Jovi and Southside Johnny for the Better Days album, after eleven years to their driffted apart of the E Street band.
Save my 75 and 80 as a Last Chance Love and Lord Jesus Dance! Wasn't that Your Mother's Farm House? Save Us Bruce Springsteen! Fox! Rock's Czar! for Racing In The Street Heart Breaking!
Southside is certainly the funk & soul of Jersey! Great video with Southside, Bruce, & MIAMI Steve (he'll never be little Steven to me -- always 'Miami' Steve)

+max slamer Hey max Gonna see them at Annapolis,MD on 12/28 Looking forward to it. Haven't seen them since '82 Hope they haven't changed or gotten older. I know I haven't..................................
I really like this video shot at The Stone Pony in a murky, graining coat. The camaraderie seems real but I prefer the false kind. The doo-wop sound or whatever and horns and watching little Steven (who wrote the song) look cool as he seems to almost mutter some of his lines while looking humble at moments like a hitman and at the end wailing guitar. Even watching Bruce is good. Seems like he's trying to cool it down, be less of a showman, and not take center stage. He almost shares a corner with the other two leads .. makes you like him more. He looks like I wish he would always looked on stage, taking a backseat to others and singing less Brucey and with less strain. Not trying to be The Entertainer like Billy Joel and getting all that love from the masses without musical or any kind of taste. The best thing: Jon Bon Jovi is not in this one. Kidding, I don't like his music but he has done a nice job singing with the boys on stage.
Some great lines: Just one coat between us and we never got cold. Bruce singing in the middle: We ain't never gonna get old. Money got made money got spent. by Steven. Sorry, I was so hard on Bruce I just try to add a little spice to my comments. I do know how everyone feels who loves this.

That is their music in a nutshell. Never stop listening and good luck
"we were never gonna get old...." The lucky ones do.
Money got made, baby…money got spent’.
Damn. Love that line!
The Holy Trinity of Jersey Music: Little Stevie the Son of Rock, the Father of the Jukes and the Holy Boss. It's been a long time...indeed
oh yeah, so true
They have a long history...oh yeah!
amen and rise your glass ❤🥂
These guys got me through the 70'S.
God bless you boys!

Old skool but still love it
Damn! Too bad there isn't music like this anymore! Kids today don't know what music is!!
Big fan of both! I've seen Bruce about 15 times. Saw the Jukes a LONG time ago at the Agora in Cleveland! Great, great bands! Long live Kid Leo!!!

I was there, as well.
Having exceptional taste in music brought me here. This video kept me here. Raise a glass!
The best lineup this band has ever had.
It gets no better than this.

Absolutely brilliant, been a fan of Johnny and Bruce from the beginning. thanks

A gem! Thank you.
This is real music.
For some reason, I can never take my eyes off VanZandt. He has a mysterious charisma.
He does have that in the way he holds himself and darts his eyes and does some nice cool face looks . He is an actor (Sopranos).
He poses for the camera
How appropriate Silvio Dante sings the line "money got made baby, money got spent!"
That's great!
God Bless them Asbury Jukes!

Little Stevie can't write for himself but he sure could write for Southside. Mean guitar from Little Stevie too. Like it when Southside slows it down at the end and like it that Jon Bon Jovi isn't in this one.
By far the best version, wish it was on spotify.
It is on Spotify now!
Southside had the best brass section ( sound and choreography ) i ever saw.

Some great lines: Just one coat between us and we never got cold. Bruce singing in the middle: We ain't never gonna get old. Money got made money got spent. by Steven. Sorry, I was so hard on Bruce I just try to add a little spice to my comments. I do know how everyone feels who loves this.
amo questo uomo
i magnifici tre!!!!!!!!!!
RIP Clarence THE Big Man!
good, good, goooood!
