  • Living Today, thank you for the today's that we are given. Let me live this day and do the things that need doing, help me to forgive what needs to be forgiven, help me to love and not hate, help me to have courage, help me to have faith, give me wisdom, help me to bend and not break, help me not to cause anyone heartache or pain.

    If I stumble and fall, help me to get up and get going again.

    More than anything else, get Bruce up from his knees.

    He needs to play chords and tickle the keys.

  • And a year later Tim Russert died... :/

    Sad stuff.

    And R.I.P. Clemons as well... how sad. But Bruce is always trying to write songs about holding on hope and moving through, and he's right. Hard times aren't called hard time 'cause they're easy, but we need to change them.

  • alas big man

  • R.I.P. they'll never be the same without the big man

  • rest in peace Clemons

  • Down here in Europe, we understand that America feels tired of war. But if id had not been for America's albeit limited involvement, Qaddafi would have taken Bengazi by now(cause us Europeans are big mouths that do little - remember Bosnia & Kossovo). But the Toxic Texan (on the War of Terror pretext) fetched America quite far from its foundations - the Patriot Act, the CIA Extra Renditions, the Abu Ghraib debacle, Hurricane Katrina, the 2004 election, the mln$ for Halliburton. Boss is right.

  • xxxx's and oooo's for damaged heart. lots of xxx's and ooo's.

    Nothing going down.It's only the ramrod putting the little house on the prairie in it's place. Home on the range beginning to look like Custer's Last Stand. I just say Geronimo, and remember the Alamo.Politics here politics there and politics everywhere.

  • @rmctelevision Are you kidding me. Totaly different situation. I hope that you just don`t milk all the oil money out of them afterwards :(

  • Just when I thought I couldn't love The Boss More! SPEECH!

  • Clarence is amazing on the sax!

  • bravo...man...

  • not being from america I got to learn understand and know a lot thanks to the boss

  • I wuz there!!!!

  • @bosszeroboss

    Baloney, you have no idea what you're talking about. Your politics are just so transparent, you're also letting your political persuasion affect your musical and intellectual judgement. Too bad you just can't enjoy good music anymore.

  • yeah well bush was smart enough not to allow off shore drilling

  • So how is this related to mobile video chat again? #tuaw

  • If the future has Obama in it give me the past.

  • He's a great performer and he's spot on with his social commentary. Bruce once wrote we should embrace the America we "hold in our hearts."  For eight years under the Dim Son the beat of that great heart was dimmed. I don't know if Obama is the answer; history will be the judge of that. We must embrace the moment and move forward.

  • with how bad Obama's America has turned out, this song could now be considered from a conservative POV.

  • @kidrock119 OBAMA'S AMERICA?HE'S STILL CLEANING UP THE MESS BUSH MADE!

  • very good tune, never heard it before now, he almost seems like a rapper on this one......

  • the fact that he's not playing an instrument duzn't make him like a rapper.

  • @harhar58 He's definitley got a swagger in this one.

  • Go away.

  • @kidrock119 HOW GOOD WE HAD IT?WE WENT TO WAR OVER LIES! OBAMA IS STILL CLEANING UP THE MESS BUSH MADE OUT OF OUR ECONOMY! HAVE YOU BEEN LIVIN UNDER A ROCK?

  • Lol i heard some german sayin "Grüß Gott" means like " Greetings to Gott" its what they say as a greeting to everyone they meet in the southern germany^^

  • @lazlowithguitar what'S wrong with that? it's just a greeting? not that greeting what most americans think of no no no german changed a lot ;)

  • This song is great. What I like about it is it can relate to many different subjects. Political, Climate Change, War.

    Great lyrics, especially the last half of the song!

  • RIP Danny and Tim

  • Why is it naieve to believe you shouldn't be spying on your own people while pretending to protect them?

  • I'm a HUGE Bruce fan so I forgive him for his dangerously naieve political views. He's an artist. What do you expect? Still, he makes the Jersey Shore proud. As far as his political views (I wish he'd keep them quiet), his heart is in the right place. He's a very sincere nice guy. Thank you Bruce.

  • The strange thing is, Magic was only released 3 days before this and yet when he performs a track off of it, you can see people in the crowd actually singing along. They actually learned the lyrics that quickly.

  • Are we still livin in the future or is everything peachy now that the One is president ? Gitmo is still open, illegal wiretapping is still going on but no more speeches ? Bruce is a Dem partisan hack.

  • Bush started all that sweetie. Obama is trying to stop it;)

  • i`m english.. don`t know too much about american politics. but so what. bruce is an awesome writer and showman..

  • very well put.

  • Notice all the cool people are democrats. HMMMMM

  • hell yeah THe GRateful Dead DAve Matthews the BOSS

  • one of my fav boss songs

  • Wonder what Brucie thinks now with the economy tanking, crushing debt, no jobs, and Obarfy bowing to scummy Saudi Kings?

    Love you Bruce - now shut up and sing .

  • There is so much truth to that!

  • You shut up

  • @Deadkurtrulz BUSH STARTED ALL THAT!

  • fuk off u moron the whole reason the boss is so gd is coz he actually writes about stuff u prick

  • AMEN!

  • bruce is in finland tonight !!!! AND I'LL BE THERE !!!! <3

  • super duper music .the super Bruce Springsteen

  • i noticed that while most bands tend to play their songs faster live, bruce actually does the opposite!! still he (they) make it sound soooo good!!

  • End March 2009..ticking by..the future!

    Some of it's happening now!

  • favorite song by bruce rite hear he rox

  • RIP Tim Russert

  • I would vote the Boss for President!

  • I would vote too !!

    weel if I was american yes...=PpP

  • I wouldn't, then he wouldnt have time for music

  • @Wardogz1z who the hell wouldn't??

  • i still get chills every time clarence clemence plays i love hm and saw him live they played this awesome song

  • excellent job of getting these songs up,i missed this when it was on and i really enjoy these versions of these songs especially the magic stuff,bruce's new stuff always sounds so killer live when it's fresh whatever album he's supporting always sounds better live sign of incredible musicians who know each other well.

  • I just heard this song for the first time on

    "Little Steven's Underground Garage". This

    song will bring good luck in the New Year!!

  • the way this song sounded live on the magic tour kicked ass,i got sirius too,i'm lookin to find some good new years eve shows.

  • I was at the Greensboro,NC show when he played this song and i held my 11 yr old brother on my sholders and Bruce came over and reach out within inches of him and said "That's Livin' in the Furture". Still get chills today. Love Bruce I'm 21 my Dad got me hooked and im sure my kids will be hooked!

  • Wow, he said what needed to be said. Inevitably the truth will upset some people.

  • I dont agree with Bruces views on the current situation in America but I love his music and this song.he can have whatever views he wants as long as he keeps putting out good music.

  • lol, the two girls in the beginning "Wooo we're drunk"

  • I was in the crowd for this one. Magnificent.

  • 2nd best song of his everr!

    bruce needs to marry me:DDDD

  • Habeas corpus was suspended just after 911 for a period of three years under presidental powers act. the constitution is being slowly being dismanteled. You want to be like China, sure you can make a buck, talk bad about the Gov., you'll find yourself in prison with out a trial......

  • who the fuck would want to be like china?

    Bruce is the best

  • I live in ireland and cant wait till bush is out he gaves a bad name to the great place called the U.S.A. saw the boss in dublin this year he wos just unreal

  • Not a huge Bruce fan but this is a quality track - old-fashioned in a good way.

  • I hate when he gets political.

  • That's when the truth hurts !

  • If its in the relam of him explaining what the songs about thats ok

  • @conorhennessey AT LEAST HE'S TELLIN THE TRUTH.THE SAD THING IS,HE'S GOT MORE BRAINS THAN BUSH!

  • the jersey shore that's right ! my hometown

  • Me to!

  • i went to his concert, and he is soo AWESOME!!!

  • "Really about what's happening now... says it all...,

  • LONG LIVE THE BOSS!!!!!

  • "Tim Russert's haircut".

    Tim saw his child through college, and got teased by The Boss, both signs of a life well lived. Amen!

  • how cool bruce is! coolest 57 yrs old in the world.

    will anyone be kind enough to tell me the meaning of "monkey on a leash"?? since english is not my native language, i can't figure out if it is completely metaphoric expression or has some particular meaning.

  • Actually he's 58. I think he'll be 59 in September.

  • Monkey on a leash = George W. Bush

  • Will Bruce continue to cry about "illegal wiretaps" now that Obama has voted for it since he has to pretend he is in the middle. I thought Obama was not a fake. What happened?

  • He can still voice his opinion as we all have one, but will he continue the attack now that the man he supports has done the same thing. Before it was just that evil Pres Bush that did it, now the chsen one has done it to.

  • FREEDOM OF SPEECH, man.... Shut up, hows that?

  • maybe he sybolizes a mokey on your back under control

  • you mean that the monkey indicates something suppressed by the authority as the protagonist of this song? that's an explanation which i never reached. thank you so much :)

  • the panic in bruces face when the auto cue stops working, brilliant!

  • Yes, he is looking at this thing pretty often. Even during the refrain passages and such difficult lines as "sha-la-la-la". Poor boss is gettin old :-)

  • he said it was early in the morning wich is not the best time to sing... but i really doubt that he uses such things like auto tuners... i mean bands like blink 182 use that and you can hear that... the boss duzn't need that shit

  • Love this song. :-)

    Bruce's album is amazing.

  • 9/11 good song

  • Living in the Future = January 20, 2009

  • bruce you are awesome i love every album u have done u r a great man and the e street band is amazing Danny Federici great organ solo in this song you were and still are my favorite organ player RIP

  • Go to 1:37. Sexy.

  • i would love to be one of those construction workers at 3:42 they get paid to watch Bruce Springsteen!

  • I love the boss but the today show is lame

  • Please Bruce - come back to Denmark once more. We need some good music.

  • Bruce 4 president!

  • Ladies and gentlemen, the BOSS just rapped the house! Soooo funny and soooo great at the same time!!!

  • I'm going to do more than sing.

  • Illegal Wiretapping is in our Bill Of Rights?? LOL really? Something illegal is in the bill of rights? ALL if not most of the presidents cab nit should be impeached.

  • my favorite song from the majic album

  • ok wow, why is everybodys comments about politics? just listen to his music...

  • maybe because there's lyrics along with the music :)

  • katrina that fat bitch i fucked last nite eh

    lol in seriousness good song

  • Wait a sec. did I hear Yankees better than Boston, I don't think so.

  • Kerry's the reason Kerry lost.

  • Ken Blackwell and Diebold are the reasons why Kerry lost.

  • Kerry's the reason Kerry lost.

  • Hope to see him in Milan, the 25th of June.

    BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN SPACCA!

  • this and long walk home= best tracks on album

  • its not a matter of whether President Bush, the mayor and Governor did nothing to help New Orleans, it shouldn't happen.

    Illegal Wiretapping is in our Bill Of Rights, its an attack on the constitution, whether or not they caught terrorists. He's biased, and he's right.

  • You're biased AND an idiot! What a coincidence!

  • Agreed...it's a must have for all music fans.

  • After owning the record for a while, I've found this to be my favorite song on it.

    The whole reacord is great though! If you haven't gotten it yet, I highly reccommend it.

  • Go Bruce !! your voice is louder then mine and we need your music...now more then ever !! ESB is the Best !!!

  • Saw this Live on the Today Show. Wake up America before it is too late. Keep Rocking Bruce!

  • What I love about Bruce is that he's a famous musician and he cares about the well being of the Country and the people. Unlike most rap artists who only care about themselves. It's great to see a man who isn't so self centered even while being rich and famous. Bruce is the best

  • he also cares for those in the war. that's why he wrote Devils Arcade.

  • This is an artist who never get old. He loves to entertain people, and he is GREAT!

  • So great damn it!

  • the boss is the sheeat.

  • like music hasnt always been about politics opinions and statments...hardly nothing new lationbuff

  • I think Bruce has every right to say what three quarters of Americans think. And I know I couldn't ask for a better spokesperson.

  • who better to speak out than a musician?

  • so if you were a pop musician with a legacy you would keep your mouth shut about the rape of the middle east?

  • the rape of the middle east? really? and yes, i'd keep my mouth shut.. plenty of other people do it and keep their legacy just fine, just wothout the controversy surrounding their political views

  • Wow... it's no wonder people like Bill O'Riley hate him, (ha!)

    Personally- I think Bruce is awesome!

  • If he are drunk?

    Where do you see he is drunk?

    Springsteen are happy and cool! Only That!;)

    YOU RULE BRUCE!!!!

  • shut up

  • are u blind or deaf or something?

  • Listen, you are all misunderstanding me! I am not criticizing his politics or performance or anything, he just looks slightly out of it - slightly inebriated at parts (muddled speech, swaying, etc.)

    I'm a Springsteen fan as much as any of you, this is just a lighthearted jab. The guy's only a man, after all, not a god. Chill out.

  • I'm a big fan and respect the fact he's allowed political comment...Hell..where would modern music be without the Woody Guthries, Pete Seegers, Dylans, Richard & Mimi Farina. I suppose CSNY were out of line with their song about Kent State? And you are tight on Chillin' out. At the Vancouver "Rising" tour he commented that we were known for good pornography . At the " Devils & Dust" concert, he made mention that he hadn't tried many drugs and was saving up those experiences for his retirement.

  • Bruce man, fuck i love you man. I love you. Yeah man, i really do. I LOVE YOU

  • bruce speaks the truth!

    if your a real fan you shoudl appreciate his speacher and politics

  • yo the boss is and will still be the greatest. oh yeah and i was here when he did this. oh yeah biotch. 3 a.m. it was awesome. the boss is awesome

  • greeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaat

  • If this is a rap this is damn good! Bruce can make a shitty music genre good!

  • Omigod - this is a rap! Didn't strike me as such until this video, with Bruce not strapped up to the Telecaster. Caught tour at Verizon last night from the pit - astonishing energy, enough to light up whole Eastern grid, devotees singing along with new album (what artist can pull that off after 30-plus years? Sing along with the new Stones? CSN? Spare me.)

  • He is bad ass

  • Bruce is like a fine wine he gets better with age.

  • hell yea

  • these and other fan videos are linked on mybrucespringsteen

  • Thank God for Bruce Springsteen, Eagles and the Dixie Chicks.  They make the best music! This song is amazing.

  • bruce i love u!

  • A country divided amongst itself will fall!

  • What a powerful song....listen up all ye bush supporting yanks!

  • bruce , C'mon, wire taps spying , hoover , the biggest trani in history who blackmailed presidents , senators , anyone with any clout, was in his pocket,even had a building named after him, his name should be ripped from it , in the name of decent Americans, he openly flaunted his boy friend for decades, it's gone on for years Although it is time men in power do become accountable , remember for the people by the people

  • westphalianprinz , I'm sure Osama knows all about this "record" and it makes him very happy. Bin Laden is a patient man who knows what he wants and knows how to achieve his goals. He loves seeing Americans divided and fighting and he really loves seeing American who don't realize the threat they are facing. The truth is, Bin Laden probably knows America better than most Americans.

  • Bin Laden loves that Bush is president. He wants another Republican to win. Why? Because they have no interest in catching him, and they start wars that make no sense and make the US look bad.

  • westphalianprinz, tying turning off Air America, CSPAN2 and MSNBC and then turning on your mind.

  • No matter bout that have some respect for our president. STAND BY BUSH AND OUR TROOPS.

  • I support and respect the troops, but the President is a liar, a law-breaker, and a total incompetent. I can't respect someone like that, and it says alot about you that you do.

  • I stand by our troops but I refuse to stand by an incompetent leader who has abused his position and misused the trust of the American people. I'll stand by Bruce any day though.

  • i agree

    nuff said

  • @buckeyesrule10 LOVE THE TROOPS,FUCK BUSH!

  • cant we all just cut the political crap and enjoy a great song

  • Don't mind if I do :D

  • @dawg0126 LAST TIME I CHECKED,LYRICS WERE PART OF A SONG!

  • FUK&^ING BEST ALBUM YET....

  • All I know is this performance got The Boss on O'Reilly's extensive enemies list. Anyone on that list is really a friend to this country and tis people.

  • excellente

  • Que grandes que son

  • kinda like the 10:th avenue freezeout groove

  • The crowd sucked in all the clips here, I know it was only
