Thunder Road - (Bruce Springsteen Cover)

[yacineboudia]

wow ! that's amazing ! keep it up !

[kidgleason]

Though your voice is a bit hard to hear, what I could hear sounds great...and your piano interpretation is most impressive. Thank you for posting. Bruce and Roy would be proud.

[findingmyway10]

Excellent work!! Keep it up

[bks29999]

That was nice, Dan. Thanks.

[bjpielbrooklyn]

I've been listening to the Hammersmith 75 album for some time now, and your intro to Thunder Road is amazing. I'm not sure if Bittan or bruce himself played the song to intro the concert, but I wish they had incorporated your intro and wrap-up. I hope you learn the harmonica to get that on the song too. Keep up the work, I expect that we shall see great things from you soon!

[MrBl0nd3]

@bjpielbrooklyn bittan played it

[IDEASFROMELLIE]

wow. now that is beautiful. 

[marksamuelcohen]

The intro is stunning! Such a nice job, and not just with the piano either. You have a great voice as well. Thanks for the post. Keep on playing and keep on singing!

[Ozdeetwisted]

That's Great Piano Playing But I Can Bearly Hear You Sing

[jonnithundahhhh]

i like that shirt man whered you get it

[MrJademj]

i have the same keyboard :p

[biscuiteerFM]

I'm only 16 and I've been brought up in a Bruce fanatic household. I honestly thought I was the last person of my generation to even know who Bruce Springsteen is! :D I don't have a favourite Bruce song, but Thunder Road was the first I really heard and fell in love with. Obviously you weren't as great as Bruce, no one but him is. As a piano player myself, I was listening to the piano not the voice. And that, my friend, you nailed spot on. Fran, England xxx

[dougheffernanable]

I like this version more than Bruce's! That was amazing!

[utopia0443]

amazing song........ tutorial please!!!

[murphy52]

Piano was awesome man!

[jaymanl13813]

kinda shitty

[thebigmarbowski84]

awesome!!! <3

[haitianjack5]

is that a young roy britton?

[bobolith]

Great work! Love this tune!!

[GriffinPets]

Sing up dude. The piano is beautiful but I think that you should take singing lessons- great potential. Not being rude of course.

[GriffinPets]

@lotr143

Bruce Springsteen wrote the song, thats just the band.

[jludtxs]

very nice, how about a lesson with the notes?

[HenkeJ2]

Reuploaded Thunder Road again;) If you remember my first version I would love to hear your thoughts about it, I would like to know if you think this one is better or worse.. The reason that I want your opinion is that I think you play it to perfection! This is easily the best piano cover of Thunder Road on youtube..

[duckphan]

Has anyone ever found sheet music for this Hammersmith version of the song? I've been searching forever and can't seem to find anything. Really, really would love to learn it!!!

[ixcuincle]

You really cover Bruce's work very well. Good job.

[CrystalHunter1989]

this is great. i think you should make a tutorial on how you did this :) i've always wanted to learn a good version of this song

[KingMoses3]

you look like pete townshend

[jfol4]

You're a man, Dan. It's hard to cover the boss but this is perfect. Great job dude.

[Pumpmos]

Wonerful playing! Very touching :)

[StJoeIndian7]

very good my boy, dreams you dare to dream really do come true

[vdxind]

awesome!!!

[jcusanelli]

I love your playing. Do you have any of your performances available as .midi files?

[silentsoliloquy4]

Damn sexy, man. Love this song, love your version!

[MrAdeodatus]

One of the best versions I've ever heard, got just as touched as when I heard the original for the first time. Thanks man:)

[cracks21229]

Great. Lovely piano playing.  Piano is the way to go on many Bruce songs. Adds so much depth. Bravo!

[HenkeJ2]

Hey Dan;) just put my own version of Thunder road up. I would be thrilled to get your opinion on it:) Already told you several times, this is perfect! love your version more than the original. Cheers!

[crazymetalhead9999]

u should do a piano version of born to run

[MrSeanwilson220]

Great piano work dude.

[ElAntiRisto]

si escuchamos solo el piano y nos olvidamos de la voz cojonudooo!!!!

[asertiveallthetime]

that was pretty damn close to note for note perfect! Major Kudos for playing the hammersmith version too.

You should do some others from hammersmith too. Like the solo from kittys back or lost in the flood or saint in the city. That would just be awesome.

[Glacier4798]

Excellently executed!

[RILEIGHJO]

great!

[LittleTerra]

Lovely piano... pity we can't hear your voice, but well done :)

[two4sevenBRETT]

you got the voice but you gotta sing out.. you're hitting the notes

[sloppy1778]

i absolutely love listening to your cover... no one does it like this with the intro except you... youre other springsteen covers are great too...

[greenbelter123]

Dude your piano playing is sheer class thanks. I have a proposition for you. If you send me a backing track of this then I'll sing the vocals for you and post it but its up to you. I just think this track is crying out for some killer vocals and I'd love to sing it for you.

[musicloverinct]

Sweet. Sweet. Sweet.

[torstenq]

Very nice, dude! *****

[Ohoven]

yeah pleeeeeasse! or a tutorial? or your hands from above! please.. the storytellers version would be best for that.

[FavreFanatic4]

that was pretty sweet

[santajimi]

Please do the VH1 storytellers version. Please. Pretty please.

[Ohoven]

could you just film where we can see your hands better? would be like a tutorial.. please. just that..

[filthyrich83]

the best piano cover i heard on you tube (and i have watched ALOT lol). i would love to see the with the vocals mic'd. well great job dude.

[BarefootMary]

BEAUTIFUL. I loved it. =]

[yankeesfreak24]

kind of sounds like independence day by bruce the first 1:10 or so

[livingXlovingXlife]

amazing!! ok... i read the description but is there any way you could make the sheet music somehow?? i have been trying to figure this song out on the piano but havent gotten very far, and this version is better than the one i was listening to!! so please if theres any way you could get the music out...

[iangarner18]

i think that intro is off the Live 1975- 85 disc 1 version but ive damaged the CD which im gutted about so cant really confirm it lol

dan you are the man. its fucking outstanding!

[keepjoshlegal]

I he used the intro at some during the Darkness tour ('78), check out Passaic Night/Piece De Resistance(bootleg) from 9/19/78. Send me a note if you want a link to where to get it (i can't post websites on comments).....BRUUUCCE!

[keepjoshlegal]

sorry for terrible grammar ^^

[jaymanl13813]

truthfully, no

[theboywhocantollie]

well then

[mjken57]

dude great sounding intro but gets some mics on the vocals

[jaymanl13813]

that's not thunder road

[progomez]

Excellent playing. Could you record it as a midi file and host it?

thanks

[kengorman]

That was great. Like progomez, I'd love to be able to download a midi of your version.

[anyunusedname]

That is excellent!!

[Coldjonny]

wow. Amazing. Wonderful.

Now I'm going to be pretty standard with my question: Sheet music?

[myduckhasears963]

that was killer i can play it too but not as good haha

[crapbag5892]

Wow. this is great man.

[bingthewindbong]

if you lived if england you would have to join my bruce tribute band

[asphaltenoire]

Thank you! You look like you are surprised yourself of what you are doing! Your hands are playing as if they had wings! Where are the angels hidden? Beautiful! Thank you.

[thomasbcool]

The professor would be proud. I'd love to have your piano track to do my own version. Very well done.

[Zumpappa1]

:)

<3

[eikels]

Hello Dan,could you please put the lyrics in the info box ? (right above,corner) That would be great ! Greetz Joe

[eikels]

A magical song.

Great playing !!!

[iangarner18]

[szikchillypaddeh]

Subscribed! You are awesome!

[saggyarmpit]

niceee

[telefoninousato]

best song ever played really good, also great sound! keep up the great work

[Props2u]

This is really good. Its played the same way as I have on my live '75-'85 cd.

[Nello7]

Great job with the piano-would love to see more dynamics employed. This is the first time that I have heard it solely on the piano. I would like to know where I can find this piano arrangement-care to share?

[HammersmithOdeon75BS]

Great work with the piano.

[catia512]

Hey Dan! I'm sure you was born to play piano.

You are the greatest talent what i found of the youtube site. For this cover i give you 5 stars.

How many years do you play the piano? You are on a par with R. Bittan.

[PatricLang]

Man this is just great!, would be even better if you had the microphone closer so we can here you sing better!

[lovebtr]

you play better than Mr. Springsteen in the Storytellers DVD. I agree, you are very good playing the piano. Keep working hard :-)))

[drummerboy5142]

Are you Roy Bittan's Kid? I have never heard anyone come as close as you just did here. This is an anthem song for generations.

Bless you!!!

[ertomannen]

You are just great on the piano a wished i was as good as you Love this song!! anyone agree??!!

[Ubermann88HH]

masterpiece

[parhambass]

if you ask me you should get a Mic and redo this!

great job on the piano

[azguitar]

Nice playing! You really got Roy Bitaan's piano part and feel down.

[2wheelsturnin]

Nice job on this. There's a singer in there, you just need a little more confidence. Try raising the key a little at a time until you have to push to sing it. Don't quit, you're good.

[IF21]

nice steve young poster in the bg. brilliant performance.

[Hellothereboyos]

Not that good, only like the best I have ever seen. Cheers from Sweden:)

[sora92120]

whoa daniel, its gary. i didnt know you played the piano, and ur really goood at it. have sean and them seen this before? i bet sean would make fun of you lol.

[bingthewindbong]

nice one

[gwoodly101]

whats the chord progression in the intro? great job by they way

[LonePianist3]

A-MA-ZING.

Dang. You're awesome.

I'm speechless. =D

[beanbag337]

Wow, this is amazing. Good job! I am incredibly impressed with your skills.

[Ubermann88HH]

Great, dude

[pattiscialfo]

Incredible!!! It really sounds magic. You really play as a Professor!

Great!

[djmonterom]

Simply incredible. Seems like Roy Bittan!!!

[Blubrock]

Great!

[f1schu111]

hey thats great

just a wee ?

can you do a lesson vid please on the bruce videos/

you don't see many piano bruce springsteen vids on here. great work

[allthewayhome]

most impressed, love that you used the old intro

[xxxKimmxxx]

that was absolutely great. i wish i could play piano like that. you've got a nice voice too, if you'd only sing a little louder ;)

[cantorita]

beautiful.

[greenbelter123]

Awesome piano shame we can't hear your vocals. Perhaps consider getting someone else to sing. BTW what Piano is that?

[Fedex4156]

Dan...I just did a guitar version....but you are extremely talented. Keep turning these out....Greg

[juanmigp]

Good job on piano. Excelent

[applecrossjph]

Hey! your reply came thru as I was listening to Backstreets! Crack on with Racing in the Street. I ought to send you the Live DVD of the Crystal Palace 2003 version which was the best ever! Good luck!

[applecrossjph]

Dan, just listened to Thunder Road - great stuff! The logical next step has to be "Racing in the Street". The song in Bruce's repertoire with the best piano! Good Luck!

[chrisfo103]

Hello Dan,

can you send me these record as MP3?

it is just wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best!!!! Bruce would love it!!!

[monkeyguitarist]

THANK YOU for that one. THANKS so much.

[agentofthefree]

WOW!!! This is amazing! You're a really great piano player! I'm impressed! And you look so young! You must be playing from the cradle! Wonderful job!!! Keep it up! And do more! PLEASE!

-Matt

[ssanko]

Roy Bittan...eat your heart out..

[nakenmann]

Genius man! Great piano! How do you do that, thats amazing!

[Guedingen]

Wonderful - had a good old sing-along.

[billdek]

Very good Dan! You need to get closer to the mike so your voice can be heard better. I'm just learning to play the piano and I'm trying to pick up on Thunder Road myself (best song ever IMHO). keep playin, bro!

[Fedex4156]

Dude you have to find some other musicians and throw a weekend band together (if you haven't already)and take that talent out for others to hear....playing covers is not a bad thing, especially if you play them as well as you do. Encore, encore....way to play bud...I might just record that...overdub my voice and send it back to yah!

[billdek]

count me in!
