[Gkats5513]

Damn...Billy Joel always gives me goose bumps with his voice and talent! Great musician, too bad his music never reached a bigger audience.

[44t56]

Around 1:00, does it look like the Boss is masturbating?

[kacenoroyal]

[bdoz58]

At 1:32 it looks like Patti is falling in love with Billy

[Hawbitten]

Even Barrack Obama acknowledges Bruce Springsteen as THE BOSS!!!!!!

[6seeg]

The fact that the Boss puts on an exponentially more energetic show then 90% off artists today at the ripe old age of 60 is incredible.

[Musicisawesome678]

Bristud how could u say that? This I an awesome song and was great with piano wizard Billy Joel. He messed up a little with the lyrics, but all in all, it was truly amazing. I always feel like jumpin up and dancin in that last verse after the instrumental solo.

[theplourde]

does anyone know all of the songs that bruce played at this show?

[beeerman56]

all i can say is wow!!!!!!!!



[Poyer1023]

The Boss, The E Street Band, Billy Joel all playin one of the greatest songs in history!

[Aerohog1]

Great performers, and that sax could peel the paint off the Lincoln Memorial.

[kizzMyBuzz]

I like the expression on Bruce and Billy's face,there grooving on how each other is singing one another's tune, totally fantastic! and we get to sit in our homes and watch and hopefully everyone knows the difference between good and Great! like how to appreciate the technology time has brought us, we've come a long way from green hand held transistor radios or bogen speakers with a shure audio mixer that always gave bad feedback. lol. tks for the Great post! CcCclapsss

[TylerRobinson7]

Do you have Only The Good Die Young with Joel and Springsteen?

[teodoroferds]

a little make-up and B. Joel would look just like Snot! how cool, Springsteen and the Goonies-Street-Band! by the way, we all miss Clemmons already...

[ivanhoedrive]

RIP BIG MAN and long live the boss

[Sjack90]

billy joel sounds more like bruce on this than bruce does lol

[hardarc1234]

Pure class !!

[321quixote]

こんなんあったんだ＾＾しらなかった＾＾

[spazoidz]

[gomez333hofer]

If god is the boss, is the boss god?

[omadz100]

RIP Clarence Clemmons

[bristud]

[Arvio]

02.05 Rest in Peace Big Man.

[nonoire54]

[guigscorreze]

rip Big Man :_(

[Srhandel]

RIP CLARENCE CLEMMONS.

[Crunkboy415]

Bye Big Man :(

[mnw1989]

you'd be out of breath too if you played for a minimum of two and a half hours and bounced around the stage...Dude is over 60 years old and still the best performer in rock music !

[ededketra1]

the boss!!!!

[rypro525]

Its clear Joel doesnt know the words, as hes litterally staring at the lyric monitor off screen

[KleWdSide]

Joel ruined it.

[ixcuincle]

WOW

[kizzMyBuzz]

WoW

[ncuso33]

1:51 Bruce "You got it, man." After Joel slipped up a line.. That's awesome.

[ironmanlogan]

@ncuso33 Haha thanks man! Always wondered what he said. Love Billy's eyes just before.

[dport4]

Some of the coolest shit ever. Blows any shit today out of the water

[ironmanlogan]

Does Bruce say "Great Man" to Billy at 1.53 I think?

[nbelsky]

Bruce is letting the audience play the guitar.

Soooo fucking cool!

[tomorocko]

One of the greatest sax solos in rock...well apart from the obvious.

[SophiaASpiegel]

OH BILLY FORGOT THE WORDS!!!

[rezem1]

@SophiaASpiegel its ok he made it up on piano, what a perfotmance!

[yingnanyu]

Oh dear! If rock have the magic? All of these guys more than half-hundred years old!

[u2mack4444]

What an awful crowd they're playing too. How can you stand there calm like that? Its Born to Run for crying out loud! With Bruce and Billy Joel! Its a damned shame

[TheUltimateNoob001]

I love how the balance works out perfectly here. You can hear Billy's piano clearly over the rest of the band. It's a shame they didn't do the same great job for "Because the Night", but I guess you can't have everything.

[TheUltimateNoob001]

@SiBCity Completely unrelated.

[boxofwillard56]

@SiBCity don't relate bieber to a Bruce Springsteen song just to get a highest rated comment. Thats disgraceful to The Boss.

[TheBlueOctober]

@boxofwillard56 LOL the irony.

[progrockertom]

this is perfection

[57mab]

We're all gettin' a bit older ;).

[junior030286]

es lo maximo



[zosha1946]

i just love it.............born to run.........

[cubsbull017]

How doesn't billy know the words?? He's reading them the whole time.

[ledbyzepmother]

@KleWdSide I've seen Bruce live three times and he is always out of breath but the thing about doing these short performances is he stops more often so you seem him taking a break and he's out of breath during the breaks

[tunarat2]

@TheElusiveBirdMan, Bruce is probably the hardest working rocker out there. He is also very intense. He still puts on 31/2 hour shows!

[uredbulldawg]

God damn Bruce Springsteen rocks....

[ChiroQuacker]

his shit doesnt stand up.....go watch CSN from this same show..they blow this off the map....

[fjollispellis]

Has Bruce taked a bath becouse it looks like that !=D

[NYVoice]

The older liberals get, the rougher they are on the eyes.

[PianoManAM]

Just noticed this- listen to Billy sing the final verse- "Some day girl, I dont know when, we're gonna get to that place we really wanna go, AND VIRGINIA, we'll walk in the sun..."

I'm not the only one hearing that, right?

[monkeypi6]

@PianoManAM its take a dip not virginia but it kind of sounded like virginia

[PianoManAM]

@monkeypi6 ...I don't hear that at all. O_o

[karma123]

I don´t agree with death penalty but...

having heard the sound and looked at the video I think some of the ones leaving comments here about Bruce not being really playing guitar...

really? You think this guy has been solding out shows, playing solos every concert, maybe tousands of them (concerts) in the last 35 years

and nobody noticed he is a faker?

[karma123]

@karma123

Just you, geniuses, found about it on some youtube video?

And when you hear the out of tune playing in this video, by the crowd´s fingers, you still think it´s fake?

Really?

Is there a prize for idiocy?

[spazoidz]

@hiadhiad dude grow up u got a vendetta against bruce...he wrote that song when he was 24yrs old what were u doin or have done that`s timeless

[ogrebattle22763]

Excellent version Billy & Bruce did this song quite nicely....

[maxxxx1972]

Billy is one of my favourite singer in absolute, but here make a show of playng the piano!!!!!!!!

[mitsevohonda]

bRUCE voice is gobne haha but still brilliant

[paulocenae]

hes the BOSS!!!!!!!!!!!!111

[bobbied3]

@pgaquigz Aye. I noticed that on alot of the other vids from this concert. Most of the times where Bruce is "playing" he's not touching his strings, or his strumming doesn't correspond with the sound off the tele. Its odd.

[fattkattz55]

@bobbied3 YEA HELL YES EVERTIME WITH THIS PERFORMANCE HES STRUMING AND NOT MOVING HIS HANDS MOST OF THE TIME AND HES PIKING IT PRETTY HARD LOL I THINK HES FAKING IT

[Petiber]

@bobbied3 It's not odd at all. Bruce line-up has 3 guitarists: himself, Nils Lofgren and Steven Van Zandt. Bruce is definitely plugged in and is playing rhythm, but he's low in the mix. If the sound doesn't fit what he's doing, than obviously one of the other two players is playing it.

When Bruce has solos (Backstreets, Incident on 57th Street) you can tell it's obviously him playing it. He's no Jimi Hendrix but he's alright.

[ClintEastw0od]

@Petiber Bruce is the most underrated guitarists going around. I've had the priviledge of hearing his guitar work through the 1970s and take it from me, he's not that far from Jimi. Listen to Prove it all Night or anything from Darkness and when you strip away the orchestra that is the E Street Band, you're left with a sound and feeling that is not unlike Jimi. Bruce is not a soloist, he is the ringmaster of a wonderful circus of sound and music known as the legendary E Street Band.

[Petiber]

@ClintEastw0od I'm a huge fan of bruce and the e-street but this is just wrong. Bruce is an okay guitar player at most, his licks are the usual bluesy pentatonic ones, his solos are predictable and his playing are mediocre. Comparing his solos to the sax in Jungleland or the keys in Kitty's Back just shows the difference. His solo in "Incident on 57th Street" is great though, his finest hour as a guitarist I think. Adam Raised a Cain ain't bad either.

[ClintEastw0od]

@Petiber You need to compare or judge Bruce at age 27 not age 60. How would Jimi sound today???

[holitipu]

@Petiber go back and watch prove it all night from 1978 or thundercrack from 1973, i think with time he's just taken a backseat re his guitar playing. in other words he's grown up and it s more about the music, lyrics and the whole band's' performances live .and that's why he's still at the top of his game

[viperboy749]

@hiadhiad But....making bank with no talent...must be something.

[sanktfoit]

Goddammit love billy,,,

[amazed66]

@pgaquigz I don't think Billy knew the words and it looks a bit contrived as if he's trying to read the words off of a monitor and sing as the same time, so gets a little lost until the "Tramps like us.." part where he was more familiar with it and he seemed a bit more natural.

[toastedcheeser]

Bruce is not easy to sing. Billy did a fine job.

[oOGremistaOo]

my 2 favorite singers, but i like billy a little bit more and this 1 is my favorite song from bruce

[manuetalain83]

Simply: THE BOSS!!!

and Billy JOEL is great too!!

[kareltjoelker]

Thanks For Uploading These Great Vids !

The Quality is Perfect !

[grbosss]

1001 Brucian nights...

[TheElusiveBirdMan]

Bruce is totally out of breath the whole time. but it still works.

[KleWdSide]

It's weird how he's out of breath with these brief performances (This, Super Bowl etc), yet when he performs 26-30 songs at a "real" concert, he's not at all. I guess his mood is different when he's surrounded by thousands of screaming fans..

[theboss0641]

@TheElusiveBirdMan

Bruce is not out of breath at all, I don't know what your talking about. The guy is an animal, best shape of his life. Still rocking 27+ songs a night no problem! It's just the look on bruce's face when he sings. Still and always will be the best live performer of all time! LONG LIVE THE boss!

[bruuucexo]

@theboss0641 YES
