Bruce Springsteen - The Ghost Of Tom Joad - NEW recording 2009

[Bossfantor]

A cover is simply an interpretation of the original artist's song. A singer-songwriter will sing his/her own song the way it was meant to be heard, emotionally or otherwise. Bruce is the best at doing both.

[Smokalotapotamis]

who did it first Bruce or Junip?

i'm guessing Bruce?

[CoryThe411]

Bruce Springsteen should support Ron Paul 2012. Could have thrown up a while back when I was at a concert and he through his hat in the ring for Obama. Needless to say that was the only time the crowd boo'd that night

[CoryThe411]

@robertsdarkfantasy Yes sir, Welcome to it!

[clausvitting]

best version is by  brutal attack ...one

[pelaos3]

From Colombia

Luchamos por una tierra donde Vivir

Una vida digna

Por ser libres

all we have the same eyes.

[CoryThe411]

Welcome to the New World Order!

[robertsdarkfantasy]

@CoryThe411 illuminati

[mungent25]

Both songs are just fine each with their own "pros and cons"

[MajinB00SH]

the one with tom morello is the best imo

[adbelhaus]

@MajinB00SH personally i prefer this one.

[Jmaj1123]

this sucks, rage does it so much better

[Bertiper2]

@Jmaj1123

well...some of us appreciate music that doesn't make our ears bleed.......Springsteen wrote this song, it is HIS song, and no one does it better

[joiseygoil64]

@Bertiper2  YES!!

[adbelhaus]

@Jmaj1123 thats called an opinion, my friend. we don't particularly care for yours.

[N0VANITY]

Friggin douchwipes with your politics and conspiracies. Piss off and listen to the damn music.

[ytubeG3]

I Love Bruce!!　ブルースが大好き！

[Greyswyndir]

"Welcome to the New World Order"

[ColtraneTaylor]

I hope Bruce repents performing this for the Obama 'change' campaign. Talk about a continuation of the Bush New World Order. Wonder why a visionary like Bruce couldn't see this train wreck coming a mile away like many of us did in 2008. Obama is the cop beating the guy all over Asia and Africa. Not to mention the US.

[Greyswyndir]

@ColtraneTaylor,

You must be nuts? The New World Order is Obama's as much as it is Bush's and the rest of these false left/right shill politicians. Why don't you do some investigation, Obama's mentor was Zebignew Brzezinski, architect of the wars going on in the middle east right now and creator of the Trilateral Commission. Obama has also called for a NWO on television, just like Bush Sr., it's all a scam and all the politicians are owned by the NWO elites.

[ColtraneTaylor]

@Greyswyndir That's what I was trying to say, and if you look at my channel I think you'll find I'm more than aware.

[Greyswyndir]

@ColtraneTaylor,

Hmmm...? Sure didn't appear that way. No big deal either way. I just thought it was a poor choice of words to call it "Bush's NWO" considering the real power behind the idea.

[ColtraneTaylor]

@Greyswyndir There are many ways of looking at it. I called it that because that's where Springsteen drew the reference to it, even if it isn't the orgin of the term. Or maybe it is, given the influence of the Bushes going back decades. Bush Senior isn't a puppet like other presidents, he's one of the puppet masters.

[Greyswyndir]

@ColtraneTaylor,

No, it definitely didn't originate with Bush. And I wouldn't call Bush a "puppet master" either. If he was then he could have remained president for more then a single term. No, Bush is a minion, a high level minion but still just a minion. I think when I read your original comment I somehow read the part about Bruce performing for Obama as an indicator you were actually a supporter. I read too quickly, I apologize.

[ColtraneTaylor]

@Greyswyndir That's fine. I didn't say it started with Bush but he is a high ranking member. As for being one term, he controlled the Reagan presidency and he directed Clinton on policy a bit too from what I've read. Bush and his gang are also a major part of 911, they are not mere toadies for Kissinger and the others the way Bush Jr. and Obama is. JFK killing, Reagan's attempted killing, CIA drug smuggling all tied to Bush.

[Greyswyndir]

@ColtraneTaylor,

I agree that Bush largely controlled the Reagan Presidency also. I believe he was behind the attempted assassination of Reagan. So in effect he was president for 12 years, if you want to look at it that way. Still though, he's still a minion, even if a high level minion. I've watched the Bush Connection and I found it very interesting but the producer had a democratic bias in shaping the events of the Kennedy assassination as a Republican conspiracy. It goes beyond political...

[Greyswyndir]

...parties. The Bushes and Clintons have been tight with each other for years. Clinton was groomed to be president from early on in his life, just like Obama. This ultimately a European conspiracy and by extension American at this point. Are you familiar with Lord Cornwallis' statements on the Revolutionary war? It puts the creation of the U.S. in a much different light. In reality the Revolutionary war was never won, check out the Treaty of Paris, it will blow your mind.

[luckysilviano]

Where can I find this ?

[Macabre102]

@luckysilviano This was on "The People Speak" soundtrack, the special history channel did based on "Voices of A People's History of the United States".

[Bossladyone2]

I think the Ghost of Tom Joad is mirrored in Bruce Springsteen's soul.

The parallels in the shift toward the industrial revolution and the shift toward

the new world order are amazingly similar.

[bigboss58]

The Grapes of Wrath was an amazing movie. After watching it in History class, the teacher played this for us

[eltizziana]

just beautiful..

[bohemianlikeyou1988]

This is amazing, it sends me shivers... I've always loved this song and I love Bruce... Long live the Boss!!

Thanks for sharing this video!

[MrCanttouchme13]

This version is great but i think my fav was when he played it with Tom Morello if you havnt heard tht one yet LOOK IT UP you can see the feeling when they play its amazing

[kaisqais]

I love this song, there are many performances by the Boss and every performance is special in its own way. I love this performance and the guitar is nice on it but for me the best performance is this NKKpmbcSe5E

[ExUSSailor]

"Workers of the World, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains."

[nomopoly]

@ExUSSailor fuck unions. ironically you want to break these so-called chains only to enslave other people. you think of no one but yourselves, your pensions and your power. so, fuck you.

[ExUSSailor]

@nomopoly Not true. As a disabled  vet of Afghanistan and Iraq, my pension is set. You're entitled to your opinion, of course, no reason to resort to resort to profanity.

[Eifler121]

@nomopoly The ideal union is a very good thing, it all depends on what happens to your specific union.

[dococolo]

hmmmmmmmmm....yeah!!

the first Bruce Springstten song i really discovered years ago and still one of my favourites. and this new recording with his "now" rough and story telling voice, is soo great and intensive!!

he always tells storys soo deep but with his voice now, it takes us more onto the journeys again!! thx very much fpr uplaoding that "new" masterpiece of true story telling music!!

[megafuerza]

I love this song. It's the reallity in our Latin America.... sad reality that the ghost of Tom Joad goes through our streets in Latin America. Greetings from Colombia. Thanks for the video.... good job!!

[emailists]

It's great to hear this new recording, but for me the ultimate expression of this song comes in live form from recent tours.

The power and drive the whole band gives it in the recent live versions are just mind blowing.

[garyhull]

@emailists Agreed. Tom Morello added a new dimension!

[zeroblindterry1]

@emailists The 09 tour! I agree, that was an emotional experience every night he played it! I saw many shows on the 09 tour and I would knew I would never be leaving without a WOW moment, because GOTJ would be played.

Still acoustic is very fantastic to.

[B0zz3]

@emailists

the acoustic version from the reunion tour was very emotional and powerful aswell.

[IMTheMagicRat]

killer vid! clarence

[zeroblindterry1]

@IMTheMagicRat It's amazing, touches that dark side we believe in and it's hard to say what it is. Thanks! and thanks Bruce

[SuzzyStohelit]

Oh yes...the season to think -no us- nor thems Nobody Wins Unless Everybody Wins

Happy Holidays !

~peace

[UrLiane]

...oh, a very good song - the BOSS is great...thanks :-)

[90265SE14]

[MevrouwBij]

Thanks Bruce! I still believe it's one of his best songs.

[Tonio19494]
