LOVE THIS SONG, and LOVE BRUCE! One thing wrong with this clip, though... It pans the audience a little too much! I know they're havin' a great time, but they CANNOT DANCE!!! Stick with the stage, dammit! LOL!!!
this is NOT from the No Nukes concert in NYC 1979. This is from the Spectrum in Philly, from the Born in the USA tour 1984.....Went every night. 5 shows, then he came back in the Summer '85 for 2 shows at the Vet. Was at those too. Seems like yesterday..........thank you Bruce for all the years of fun. It's been much appreciated.
How can some of the people in the audience just stand there and not dance?!?! For God's sake people, live a little! Why do you even go to a concert if you are just going to stand there like it is a freakin' BUS STOP??
MEMO TO YOUTUBE: Unfortunately I couldn't rate this clip as the highest possible rating is "Awesome". I would like YouTube to add a 6th star rating and call it "BROOOOOOCE!!!"
tHE FIRST TIME I SAW THE BOSS WAS IN 1980. YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER HE WAS YOUNG THEN WE ALL WERE. ITS A HARD POUNDING ON THE BODY TO DO THAT NIGHT AFTER NIGHT
Credit where Credit Due Correction To Springsteen's Comments - It's not Springsteen's song it's written by Frederick Long and William Stevenson outta 50's Detroit and then charted when covered by Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels. Come on Springsteen, you of all people shouldn't be claiming other folks stuff as you own given you past fight for material rights!
actually, the beginning of the interview line was cut off. I think what he was talking about doing a song and it really became everyones'. Everything I've ever heard the man say gives at least Mitch Ryder credit.
he wasnt son, listening comprehension- go back to elementary school and learn it. why would he even try to take credit for this song? its clearly not his. he even says it b4 his hammersmith show in 75- we played detroit about a month ago, and we learned this song- from one of my favorite detroit artists. or some shit like that
Man I miss these days. I started going to his concerts in the late 1970's and this medely always was played as a encore (notice the house lights are on). This was being played about 4 hours into the show, man did he perform and get the crowd to have fun. The Boss is the greatest, but please Bruce, stay out of politics and just "SHUT UP AND SING".
thats a good point. nobody holdin signs up wanting attention. i was at the show in ft. lauderdale may 02. the whole place felt stiff.not like the gardens in 78. the crowd seated an hour late , they were more interested in buying food and drink at the concessions. it is principally a hockey arena. to me the crowd was more like hockey fans. nobody was jamin on the floor.
Man, I sure have to agree. A lot of the concerts I have been to are just the same. It takes forever for the show to get started because everyone is buying snacks. It's as if the audience thinks they are goin' to a movie! Then they all just sit their in their seats eating, and looking totally bored. I'm only 18, but I've been to a lot of classic rock concerts- and I still haven't seen even HALF the enthusiasm that I see in this video. It's kind of a shame. Why do people even go to concerts, hey?

This is an excerpt from BBC Whistle Test Special first broadcast in Dec 1984...in the run up to the BITUSA tour hitting England.
Is an hour long special memorable for one fan who, in trying to explan Springsteens' appeal said with a shrug "you just got to go see him" - exactly !
