  • RIP Big Man :-(

  • I so miss the Capital Centre and great music. I really felt sad when it was imploded....end of another era. Nothing is the same anymore, those times were special. RIP Clarence.

  • I so miss the Capital Centre and great music. Nothing is the same anymore, those times were special. RIP Clarence.

  • Clarence, you will be missed. Only ONE BIG MAN!

  • I was there with my Buddy Rick Probst at the time he was working for WCBG in Pennsylvania and I was working construction trying to get a radio job, man it was a great show as were all of them I saw. Wonder what happened to all the video shot by the Capital Centre, it's now gone but the sound still rings

  • THIS IS BRUCE - not the "Fat Elvis" crowed pleaser we have today - sometimes its best to let your glory days speak for themselves and know when best to step off the stage

  • @2JOHNNYT. Have you been to a Springsteen concert lately? The man is sixty years old and will still play for three hours and leave the stage dripping sweat. 

  • @PhoenixRising013 Yeah and a 60 yo man can walk off a football field after a game dripping wet too bozo - its about being on point, shining like a diamond...not eroding into FAT ELVIS... reason to every season

  • RIP Big Man.

  • The place was imploded in Dec. of 2002, but I saw Bruce at this arena many times, the first being Aug. 7, '81, and he crowd-surfed during this song on that night as well.

    BTW: It was spelled the old English way, Capital Centre.

  • RIP Big Man.  I'm gonna cry now.

  • RIP BIg Man

  • Please get well Big Man!

  • "Kid you better get the picture!" Love you BIg Man. Get Well!!

  • no drugs, just the boss being that awesome boss!!!! legen...wait for it....DARY!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i LOVE this song. i sing along everytime i hear it and i sing it to myself.

  • My first of many Bruce concerts was the very next time he came to this venue, the Capital Centre in Largo, MD, Aug. of 1981, and I remember him doing the 'crowd surf' during this song. I only went because at the age of 20 I wanted to start attending more concerts and I had often heard that no one did a better one, so I thought I'd check it out, but I only knew a few of his songs. By the end of his opening number, Badlands, I looked around and knew something was different. It was an epiphany.

  • one of these rainy sunday evenings here in germany again, but this one has definitely saved my weekend

  • @dmjc2154 oh true living in germany is really hard! here to have fun it is not almost not allowed! So Bruce is our emergency ;)

  • I was there-

  • and yes. RIP Danny, and thanks for the GREAT memories and sharing your PHENOMENAL talent with us!!!!!

  • I don't think he was ever into drugs......but maybe this night someone slipped him something! LOL!!!!!!!!!

  • his facial expressions and spazztic dancing reminds me of joe cocker lol

  • Who cares if its on the greatest hits? The real fans buy all the albums anyway LONG LIVE THE BOSS

  • mindblowing

  • Bruce, the boss, should go down as one of the greatest rock musicians of all time. His band, the E-Street Band, could not have been any more perfect with him. I feel it is awesome that they still do tours together after all these years! GO CLARENCE!!!!

  • Amazing, 5 stars

  • i think this is still my favorite song from him and the band, shame it wasn't on the greatest hits

  • born to run is one of my all time favorite records! It still kicks ass after all these years!

  • Rest In Peace, Danny

  • Danny Federecci passed away???It' s very very sad news :((((.Rest in Peace man.

  • Man alive.....How good is that?

  • Pretty damn good

  • Bruce, you are the proof that God exists!

  • I was at both shows at capital center on the 24th&25. I will never forget that song. He opened with born the run and then played Tenth on the forth song. I sat in the fith row on the floor. Camped out at cap center to bag those seats.

  • Amazing he can sing like that for over 30 years and his voice has held up. Still the best live show one can see.

  • i play this almost every morning to get woken up i cannot help but dance, an awesome performance is on the 2001 madison square concert, 20 minute version

  • Springsteen is popular 30 years later because NOBODY can do it better than him!!!!

  • Probably his most under rated song. A fantastic pop style rock song with killer piano licks and sax. Should have been a huge commercial success but wasn't. Will live forever as one of his greatest songs.

  • great feel good song.

  • This cut alone is evidence that the rumoured proshot from Tampe a few weeks earlier just needs to get an official treatment. Bruce and the band were never better than on the 1980-81 tour.

  • no...noooo...noooo

    78/79 i mean the largo 78 show the no nukes the passaic shows

    but yes this is amazing

  • Seriously he performs this song as good as any other song he has written.

  • I saw Springsteen for the first time about 3 months after this show (Kansas City, February 1981). Still my all-time favorite concert.

  • scooter(boss) and the big mantore the the shit up for years I saw them in Saratoga 86 thousand people I have not been to a concert since because nothing could top that.

  • It's a pity that Elvis didn't live long enough to see the brilliant magic he created, as shown in this clip. Anyway, to now call Bruce "The Boss" is beneath him. He's THE KING.

  • After watching Bruce perform this number, in which he gives everything he hads, no one could ask why he enjoys such a dedicated following.

  • They make all the new rock bands look like fools. one of the shows from 78 shuold be out on dvd.

  • I agree totally.

  • Hands-down: This is my favorite track out of the entire catalog.

  • same here
