[Stewillustrations]

Awesome ! Improvising on the spot , glad to see him this year on stage !!!

[hrothgar64]

That's why Bruce is The Boss

[wmotley11]

was this about his newborn?

[loftusboy9]

Ive always loved this song,,,& only just dug out "Lucky Town" after many years,,,,this vid is brilliant,,shows Bruce being "the Boss",,,cajoling & encouraging the e-street boys to give it a lash & they all dig in & bang out this great old song,,,well done & big thankyou for posting it,,,,,

[runnerclv]

No one will ever say a Springsteen Concert is lipsynced................ Maybe some of these other B.S. live performers can see the personality and interaction by being able to actually perform their music truly live!!!!

[husky9east]

He truly is "the Boss" ... brilliant.

[iidaw]

he should have his own tv-channel! i would certainly watch that.

[bugattibowler]

I don't think I've ever seen him really use hand signals to tell them which chords to play like I have in this video. GREAT PERFORMANCE. (And I love that "Whoops" at the end when he changes guitars, haha!)

[bugattibowler]

I don't think I've seen him really use hand signals to tell them which chords to play like I have in this video. GREAT performance.

[fredcaster66]

One of my greatest song of Bruce..ty

[thehumanriff]

why oh why does he not play this song more often. It's a great song.

[glebemeadow]

I will never ever ever ever get tired of watching this. The quality of the band to adapt to this song on the fly with Bruce signalling chord changes and Bruce's obvious affection for the song get me every time. Also love when he calls them sissies for being scared of trying it :):):)

[LaMaffola]

@glebemeadow me too i'm never ever get tired of watching it. Please can you tell me what does it means "sissies".. i'm italian and my english is not so good. Thanks. Laura

[glebemeadow]

@LaMaffola No problem. Bruce is accusing the band of being scared and embarassed about potentailly making a mistake. NB- Sissy (singular): A man who lacks the eg courage traditionally associated with maleness.

[glebemeadow]

Wow

[ciocc8]

As good as anything Bruce has done since The River. He sounded really good here.

[glennreyes1]

I`ve seen living proof... GRANDE BRUCE !!!

[brn2rn72]

Helped me get through a tough time. I was the man staring at the shadows for bars. Lovin life now

[badfanforever]

Bruce is the living proof of god's greatness!

[DoogeMeister]

Love this song. A great video. I thought the crowd had stumped him at first but he does well seeing that it had been 6 years since he last performed the song.

[buckeyesrule10]

Cool request... I was at the last Philly show (10/20) you could say that could have been the best setlist on the tour: Open with The Price You Pay and end with Rosalita. 31 songs and non-stop. Def. in the top 3 on the whole tour.

[spbogie]

This was the best concert ever!

[sergioftcarvalho]

Great song!! Great interpretation!! Bruuuuuuuuuuuuce!! :)

[KleWdSide]

One of those songs that focuses on Bruce's vocals. I love those..

[engnr1]

Great vocal !! One of those great "follow me, boys" moments in Springsteen history.

[mybrucespringsteen]

very cool, great request and an awesome catch for youtube, thanks!

[borntorun49]

Damn brilliant this is "living proof" why Bruce is THE BOSS

[taylorch69]

I didnt think he could top the St pattys day show of 08 in the Miltown, or Harleyfest, but he did..Kittys back, Livin Proof, Cadillac Ranch, Darlington Co, Santa Claus...need I go on? He always seems to be having a blast on stage...I loved when he yelled out Hey OHIO just for laughs! Come back soon Boss!

[pgklee]

For the first time in my life I didn't get into the pit while holding a GA, bad luck ended up being good luck as I got to sit in a special place behind the soundboard thanks to a friend of a friend. thank You. Any way from there I got to observe what Bruce was seeing on his teleprompter which ran through the song at extra fast speed as Bruce signaled out and played the chords for the Band, truly incredible both for Bruce doing it and the band picking it up I am once again in awe.

[bossfan78MKE]

That was my sign.  Thanks so much for capturing this! I taped it myself but a) couldn't get the beginning and end because I was handing him the sign and getting it back from him and b) I was way too close to the sound, my video is all treble and bass, but looks great. What a great moment both personally and to be able watch the band really go out on a limb for a fan. They obviously didn't know it and didn't have to bother with it. This on of those memories that will never die. Thanks Bruce!

[mcgurkryans]

This is proof that the songs aren't plugged in by Bruce... I've never seen them spend this much time prepping the song on the stage!

[tennisgalshannon]

This was, bar none, THE best show I have ever been to in my life.

[sandypepe]

great song...

[MondayNightBand]

Thanks for taping it. Thanks for requesting it. It's one of the best songs from the HT/LT albums and certainly up there as a great Bruce song in general. Very different but 100% Bruce. Always loved this song.

[bossfan08817]

you think that as Bruce played this song he said to himself, "Damn this song is brilliant. Damn, these lyrics are great"? Waited at MSG for this one....Happy for those who saw the piece live!!

[weakkneeswillie]

Amazing. As always.

[TayTayDoddyRawr]

This was so cool. Best concert I've ever been too.

[colin9639]

What a great show...best concert of my life I'd have to say

[stoneponyNJ]

great song great request !

[MsTiinuska]

what are those handsigns bruce is making? never seen them before in any other song..

[oogleboogle14]

He doesn't make those, the signs are song requests from the audience.

[slashtwg]

No, he asked what the hand signs where. I think Bruce was directing traffic, so to speak.

[mark71565]

He's directing the chord changes since the band hasn't played the song since 2003 (e.g 4 chord, 5 chord, etc.).

[johnnygonzales]

he shows the chords. e.g. 1, 4, 5 that means in whatever key the song is in, it's clear to everybody what chord comes next. this comes from jazz. 1 is the key chord, 4 is the fourth above and so on. blues and r& r for example is basically 1-4-1- 5-4-1. pretty handy to communicate within a band.

[OelfredBiernot]

1992

[ghostlierchalice]

This was great!! He cracked up the place trying to remember how to play it! Nice video of this part of an unforgettable night...thanks for posting it for us!

[box5og]

Hope we get this in Baltimore too!!

[BlackLabProductions]

I filmed it in HD

[cjlacava]

A great, great moment. Thank you for sharing this with us all so soon after the show.

[springEstreet]

this is why this is the best band the world will ever know.

[Postal68]

SWEET, I'd rather he play the Human Touch/Lucky Town material than Born To Run for the 400th time.

[TheFOOfighterFREAK]

U did an amazing job on this. : ) I subscibed to you.. ** 'IMAGINE' ...I've NEVER seen Bruce LIVE...BUT I GOT 2 MEET John Lennon !

[MDuchek]

Nice! Loved hearing this one last night. Thanks for recording it!

[jcommesso]

Thanks for posting that was great! Great song that really resonates with parents of young ones (me) and it's great to see the band working it out on stage and having fun with it. Great clip!!

[AllisonMY]

Bruce and the Band will have it perfected by the time they get to Baltimore!! :)
