    Yeah, but you know what ... it's the family ... Bruce, Southside, Miami Steve ... the guys that preached the Jersey shore sound ... I grew up soaking it in the late 70s into the 80s in Asbury Park. Doesn't matter who sings better or who wrote what ... you had to be there to really understand how it all came together.

    This has been one of my favorite songs since the mid 70;s, although it is seldom heard on mainstream radio. This live version with Bruce, Stevie and CC with Southside Johnny and the Asbury Dukes is the best I've ever heard. Wish I were there!!!

    Even though I see this is Cleveland, and I can only dream of a night at the Stone Pony watching Southside and the Jukes, Bruce, Clarence, Lou Christie, or Mad Dog, circa 1976 what I missed in my 20's. Saw Bruce on the Born to Run tour at the Masonic Temple in Detroit, and I've never seen a better show!

      Oh man that sounds like me. Just saw South Side again New Years Eve. 2023 had not seen him since 1983 at The Capitol Theater in Passaic (Still puts on a great show) sure miss the CAP, saw him the first time at Saint Peter's College 1976 or so, thought he was great then too. He was singing with that soulful voice and the Miami Horns belting it out!!! Man that is what music should be. Oh yea lets not forget Bruce, Steve and the BIGMAN!!!!

      @force263 2 года назад +2

      Bruce was very reluctant in those days, probably through advice from Landau, to release too much music at once, even though he was ALWAYS writing great songs. This is one reason why he had enough material (and then some) make Tracks a 4-disc box set. I take it for granted now, but before 1998, the only way I could hear Bruce’s version of The Fever was on a cassette I’d made from WMMR playing it one day.
      Looking back it seems cool to have lived through those restrictions, now that I can hear the fever at any time I feel like it, but it was pretty frustrating…but it helped maintain an air of mystery ariund Bruce, too, which was beneficial to his career.

    I saw bruce with a very good friend at the Theater for the Performing Arts in New Orleans in 1977, I think - the same week he hit the cover of Time and Newsweek. He was awesome. My friend knew who he was. I didn't. Was totally blown away by Bruce, the band entirely, Clarence, et al. The tickets were crazy - $5 or $7. Something totally crazy. :)
    Springsteen is a Living National Treasure. So very few are like him.

    Truly one of the most memorable club shows I ever was lucky enough to experience right up front. Bruce had a blast on stage singing his song that Johnny covered o sooooo well. Khavian, please read about Shuggie Otis and what he said on the subject. Puts it all into perspective just as Iggriffin did so eloquently. These two guys sing from their hearts under no pretense of anything else. What comes out supersedes race, my friend. In this case, it was a great performance of inner soul.

    One of many shows at the Cleveland Agora that I attended in the early '70s. Never knew who would show up to perform with the headliner. The magic of R-N-R then still remains. One of THE best stations then was WMMS! Had these lunch break concerts also. Many can knock C'Town, but cannot when it comes to vintage Rock-N-Roll!

It looks like it was at the Stone Pony or maybe even at Bar Anticipation in Belmar as the stage looks bigger than the Pony.

    Incredible, incredible song. For the record, Springsteen never performed this circa 70's. 80's, and 90's. While he wrote it, "Fever" has always been Johnny's. And with all respect, Springsteen can't sing it or deliver it like John.

    So I turn on the radio
    But Lord, the only thing I hear is you whisperin' in my ear
    The words that you used to say
    Well now the days grow longer
    My love grows stronger
    The fever gets worse every day

    With the dishes on the table
    Dinner ready to go
    Well maybe out to a movie show
    Something that you like to see
    Because you were my sun in the morning
    You're my moon at night
    When I think about it, makes me feel alright

    Bruce owns this song. He was laying back after just having performed a 3+ hour concert just prior. This is a SSJ gig and Bruce let him do his thing. Having seen both Bruce and Southside perform from their early days at the Upstage in Asbury Park I can tell you that SS was always in Bruce's shadow because he never did his own thing - he imitated Bruce....a lot.....even to the point where people would be yelling "Bruce" when Johnny was singing.

    Southside put it on his album in 1976. It was two minutes shorter than Bruce's version.

    Bruce and his band played a live concert broadcast there in August '78 for WMMS's 10th anniversary as part of the "Darkness" tour. If it was around that time, then Steve and Bruce being there that night would make sense.
    Several years later, Southside and the Jukes played Blossom Music Center with Clarence Clemmons and his band, "The Red Bank Rockers" as the opening act. Rumors were rampant that Bruce was going to make a "surprise" appearance at the show, but he didn't.
