- Highlights from Down Under! "Friday on My Mind" is a 1966 song by Australian rock group The Easybeats.
Steve's lifelong dream comes true! ...as the band pulls off 'Friday On My Mind' (working on it since high school) from our show in Sydney, Australia on February 19, 2014.
I like this version of this Aussie classic, but no matter who does a cover it always reminds us of that unique magic in original Easybeats performances that no one else can replicate.
yep im a proud aussie boy
that stevie right n easybeats bit sad in end
but that was good
i love springsteen tho
Agreed. Nothing beats original easybeats. for example the song "Pretty Girl" can't believe it wasn't a hit. :-(
I’ve just learned the song on guitar after never attempting it because of that reason, just for fun. And now that I know how to play it I know I could never play it live. It’s the Easybeats. 🙌
There is nothing absolutely nothing like the original versión. All the universe came to stop the moment The Easybeats produced this track.
The Planets the Galaxies and the Universes decided to line up in harmony. Even today is overwhelmingly superior to most of anything before or after.
I'm Aussie this song means a lot to us ..but he can play it
Bruce is paying tribute to rock icons of the country hosting. A polite and respectful guest.
He gets the Australian ethos and rock character.
Thanks Boss
Singing this song, Bruce introduces it to many young people who have never heard it before. I can appreciate that. He does OK but sounds strained and angry. The original song sung by the Easybeats was released in 1967 (?). The lead singer of the Easybeats , Stevie Wright sang this song with excitement and happiness! I watched another youtube video of Stevie Wright singing " Friday on My Mind " at a club in the U.S (1987). He still rocked it! Be at peace Stevie.💙
I agree that he sounds strained. Shame.
Bruce always seemed strained. That's his thing.
Stevie Wright made this song fun.
isn't that a great thing though? For me great songs are often up for interpretation... and Bruce chose an angry/passionate/raw approach here and i absolutely love it. The more versions of this song exist the merrier. I'm pretty young and i didn't know this song and only checked it out because Bruce covered it and i really appreciated that
He did his way instead of covering the song the same as the Easybeats. Great version of a great song
this is Bruce showing his respect and admiration to the easy beats. respect to the boss.
A legend performs a rock classic by a legendary Aussie rock band, how great!
Brilliant tribute to our Stevie. xx
and George young
Gary moore?
@@eugeneuys9029 Gary Moore got nothing to do with the Easybeats.
@@eugeneuys9029. Gary Moore? What’s he got to do with anything?
@@scotexscarrier8461….and Harry Vanda!
The E Streeters and Bruce are a human jukebox. Their collective love of classic pop, rock and soul runs so deep that they can play anything upon request. Combine all that with Bruce's outstanding original material, and these guys are a true American musical treasure. Never has been a better rock and roll band in concert and probably never will be.
Bruce giving ode to the Easybeats in Australia!!!!!!! Was just listening to the Easybeats version and saw Bruce sang this in Australia.......Atta Boy Bruce!!!!! Very Kind!!!!!!
a great tribute to the unmatchable Australian classic
I think Bruce, Steve and the band did a fine job...(showing good musical taste too)
Anything that helps to popularize this classic slice of my youth is alright in my book
here here good job
@@twerpuser Great "BAND"!
Teenage anthem one of the best songs ever The Easybeats can only be compared to the Beatles Thanks for paying tribute Bruce love you
my fav song ever!
It’s more comparable to the Stones than the Beatles.
I think it's a poor idea to compare them to The Beatles but yes, great band.
This song is timeless...works in any generation...and this is a great performance of the song.
Amazing masterpiece, never gets old.
I grew up listening to the Easybeats as a kid in 1980s and 1990s New York City. Now that my grandmother has been gone for msny years, it brings back those days listening to this song while visiting her in her Brooklyn apartment building.
Thanks for your reminiscences.
Half a world away, at the same time a pre-teen girl in Australia was feeling it too.
I'm a grandmother now, but I still love the hits of the 60s and the happier times it evokes.
❤
This is why "The Boss" is loved all over the world. He`s "one of us".
Classic rock covered by bruce. For those who don't like it Bruce Springsteen wouldn't be who he was without classic rock he followed as a kid. This is arguably one of the most popular songs of that Era in the 60s.
Brilliant! Loved it done by the Easybeats, love it even more now. Man Bruce is absolutely completely and utterly fabulous! :D
Well if this turns the rest of the world onto this classic Oz Rock song I say, okay, the jobs done. George Young and Harry Vanda wrote this masterpiece - thanks so much guys!
Borella309 certainly no flash in the pan as a songwriting duo - flash and the pan on the other hand 😀
La tua non e solo arte!! Ma passione!! Cuore vita!! Sei grande bruceeeeeeeee!! 😇😇😍😍😍😘♥️♥️♥️💘💔💞💯
Underrated working class song... Thanks for making us ear the understatements of this 60's beautiful piece, which is also a love song. Mostly, bad comments are misunderstanding his intention (not unusual for B. Springsteen...)
Amazing performance! We love you Bruce!
I've been wearing this tune out lately. Can't get enough of it. I like the way Bruce puts some angst into it. Tremendous 60's pop song by a very underrated band the Easybeats (at least here in the USA).
rjplamf61 Bruce made it a punk rock song, which we've never heard it done like before and it's incredibly done as always by the greatest cover band ever.
Cette chanson de Esaybeats, je l'ai entendu il y a environ 60ans dans une petite "boîte" de la rue de la Gaieté à Paris ou le dimanche après-midi je cherchais l'Ame soeur en venant danser. Bruce y met tellement d'intensité qui correspond à ma Vie d'autrefois que mes émotions me débordent quand je l'écoute. Le texte colle vraiment avec ce que je vivais adolescent ou, du lundi au vendredi je travaillais 60 heures en métallurgie...JJ
when superstars like Springsteen do a cover of this you know its classic masterpiece
I used to hear this in the old paste records when I was eighteen,realy it makes me cry, thank you Bruce
One of the best Rock songs ever written!
Cool that Bruce would even think of covering this masterpiece. Yes, as noted below, he does sound more angry than the original joyful, but then again working all week for a drag job is one of the things he sings about. Thanks for sharing. Enjoyable.
LOVE IT~!!!! Brings me right back....thank you!
Bruce did a good job on this, a rare treat. Cool of them to even try it. Peace, M.A.
What a respectul version of the original. Thank you.
The Boss takes a song and makes his own version. He does'nt take the the song to a new technical level but he makes the song "his own" filled with a blend of redemption and passion. He really moves me with this version and I feel very stimulated. It kind of made the song new to me and I thank you Bruce. This is PASSION and PERFORMANCE
WOW - should release that Bruce
Amazing Live Kick Ass Performance
Watching + Rockin from Australia
Bruce is always trying new things and plays for his audience. H e did this cover at Hope estate as well, loved it good on you Bruce and come back again.
Great cover of a great band by the "Boss". RIP George and Stevie.
Thrilling cover! I keep replaying it. (I never heard the original.)
Alan Polonsky here ya go mate from us aussies 2 u it’s 2 easy ;) ruclips.net/p/RDlpv12Oy5mXk
Man, the beaming looks on some of those faces in the front row. Ecstatic to hear him cover a great Aussie song!
Just leave it to crowd Bruce. I was at Big Daddys Disco Rundle street in1966 the place was full of psychedelic flashing lights turn the music stopped and the compare Hollows out ladies and gentlemen boys and girls I present to you The Easybeats what an incredible experience
A great classic covered by a legend! Big thumbs up!
A great version of this song! Just watched Don't Change before too. I'm over the moon with this stuff. Happily blown away :)
Here is a cover that I thought I would never hear. As usual Springsteen did a great job.
same here.... he can cover anything and make it sound great....great performer, true legend
PU
He picked a really good song to tribute and proved he has a really great back up band.
Fantastic cover. Great tribute to The Easybeats.
And tribute to Australia and its musical legends
Freakin' LOVE this (even w/all of the hilarious 'flat' notes at the beginning Bruce's energy is UNPARALELLED!)
Love you BOSS! You're simply the best!
Danke Bruce.....für all die vielen videos
great up to date version of a classic
That's the best song that Bruce Springsteen ever sang. It's my favorite song.
The Easybeats "Friday On My Mind" was one of the first 45s I bought. Another was the Hollies "Look Through Any Window". I still love them both, and only during the pandemic did I learn to play them. Better late than never...
Good songs involving 12 strings.
Merci pour ce titre qui étais sorti de ma mémoire. Merci à toi de l'avoir fait revivre.
This song always reminds me of my wife and myself when we first met
Love it!! and original song of course !!!
he did do a good job...r.i.p Steve love this song miss Steve so much
Just don't understand the negative comments. This is a great cover sung in Sydney where the Easybeats come from. Sung with great passion and attitude - what else can you expect from Bruce.
I simply love this.
Wow! Awesome! One of my all time fav songs ever. Thank you for posting!
The Youngs stayed a couple of streets away from us in Glasgow in the early 60’s and took the “Ten Pound Poms” route to emigrate to Australia! We were due to take the same deal to emigrate to Aus a couple of years later yet my old dear bottled it, thinking she’d never see her mother again….(our old granny lived til she was 93!….40 years later!). For the Youngs it was the best move ever, with George Young forming The Easybeats and his young bros Malcolm and Angus forming AC/DC!!
RIP George Young from the Easybeats 23/10/2017
I've heard original every Friday at 6 pm to start off the weekend in Cleveland throughout the 70's. Bruce is singing the hell out of it.
The Greatest Rock n Roll Band of all time...is now confirmed as the Greatest Rock n Roll "Cover" band EVER! Florida here I come - "Going to have fun in the City...I'll be with my girl she's so Pretty"....
how cool is this. aussie anthem honoured by the greatest American rock star
Absolutely brilliant superb raw version ,and its brilliant
Song meant as much to Bruce (as a kid) as it did for the
rest of us.
Bruce and the band do a great job of a great song. Absolutely top class.
A tribute to Stevie. God bless him.
I would say it was more of a tribute to George Young and Harry Vanda, considering they wrote “Friday On My Mind”!
This classic song was included in Richard Thompson's 1000 years of Popular Music collection and the live version he does is quite brilliant.
Best band:( thank you Max! Thank you Gary...)
Tremendous song ( including a subtle, weird transition to the chorus......some odd stuff deep in there....) Slightly tricky!
Thanks!!!
One of my all time favorite songs.
Thanks y'all.
I saw you at Carter Barron Amphitheater in about 1974?
Most amazing concert.
The rain almost cancelled it....
I picked this on Backstreets the week before "Friday on My Mind should have been covered by now at some stage of his career post Castiles..." was someone listening? Blew my mind to be honest - thanks for releasing the official vid!
This man is INCREDIBLE. Come back in Italy soon!!!
Wahnsinn, die allerbeste Interpretation seit Jahrhunderten. Thank you so
I'd forgotten about this song. Bruce does it well.
+Gene Ferguson You must have really forgotten this song if his version sounds good.
+Batters Box Just watched em back to back....it's a pretty good version....maybe you should calm down and let it go.
What a great version of this song, full of energy and rock and roll. Get the best Bluetooth Headphones money can can by, go to the gym and this recording will kick-start any workout.
I think this recording is nothing less than brilliant.
+googlefan
there is lots of soft melodic tunes you can listen to, that will not hurt you. just enter pop in the search above
pitty we can't put any emoticon in here...I've got one just right for this!
Per Erik Treverket.
This is the most shit version ever!
so sad and unnecessary comment....Don't step on my dreams!
Absolutely brilliant superb version" live raw crisp sharp mean, he should of released as a single,its brilliant
Greatest Australian song of all time.
RIP Stevie Wright. :'(
agree
Me too
How can one man have so many great songs???
Thank you for the music video
I really love this version of the song. Great job.
Bruce treats this - like the Australian ANTHEM that this is.
I love this song forever !!
No matter !💕💕💕✨✨✨✨✨✨
Great tribute to a band that put Australia on the map!!
Great version,Bruce!
Since Bruce and I are almost the same age I think he lived this song just like I did as a senior in high school.
great cover solid track an solid rock n roll music an very powerful vocal .. seriously going 4 it here . steves dream come true? ''LONG TIME COMING'' but it was worth the wait
kinda got similar sentiment as tracks like OUT ON THE STREET etc
I agree with Bill. This was one of the best tumes/beat ever. This recording and the Austrian girl band -the MonaLisa Twins recording are outstanding.
I lose my head every time when I listen this :)
RIP George Young ... Make of the paradise, a big concert in the ACDC which tears its race
Hammer! I thank Bruce for trying this. Well done!
Brilliant opening after the 8 hour marathon in Melbourne. Fit and on fire Bruce , No vocal warm up , just straght into it. Awesome
Hey Bruce, please bring that one to Seattle on your next time through here!
well after the first listen it has been on my mind and I have looked at so many versions and like most this being the most positive having just lost my wife and she was so pretty
and to then go in to Out In The Street - which was his own version of Friday on My Mind - which even includes that phrase in the first verse.. genius really..
Possibly Best Version Ever. Wow.
Great OPENING/entrance by Bruce - i.e. the birth of "Friday On My Mind," the
great country of Australia. Bruce always has fun with stuff.
Great tribute thanks Boss
Wow, this is one of my favourite tunes ever! And done by the Boss, in the land of OZ :)
Well, he certainly didn't phone that in! lol
Great energy. He adds cajoles to that song.
The guy deserves his reputation for giving 100% to his performances.
not usually a fan but an outstanding job of this 60's classic .
Bruce always kills it, what a great showman.
So glad 2023 rehearsals start tomorrow! Ready to rock!
Well done Bruce....you did it for Stevie.....
I always wonder what fun do you have in a city on a Friday?
