  • if you really want to hear a version of Racing in the Street, look for the one from Milwaukee, WI for the Harley Davidson 105th (or 100th) anniversary show. The entire performance is over 10 minutes long and the piano solo goes on forever. This song and Something in the Night are in my Top 3 along with Backstreets as my 3 favorite songs. Long live the E Street Band and RIP Clarence "Big Man" Clemens.

  • the best song he ever did and there is tons this is my all time favorite songs he does want it played at my funeral

  • Absolute classic. The best song ever done by 'The Boss' on the best album he ever did - 'Darkness on the Edge of Town'. Unforgettable, even after 32 years, as fresh as ever...

  • yes, this is from the live album. Best version of Racing in the Streets in my opinion. Piano solo is simply mesmerizing!

  • THIS is just perfect, every word, every note.....!!!

    ...yes, it's from the live-album...

  • Hey katies145, my bud Dave McDermott of Cincinnati back in 78 told me about no fuelie heads on big blocks, Thumbs up to you and Dave. Damn good song though.

  • goooooooooooood video please look at my channel

  • Absolute magic. Reminds me of my days in New Jersey!

  • Why doesnt anybody ever metion that a 396 chevy never ever came with or could have fuelie heads? Fuelie heads were only availble on small block chevys.

  • who cares

  • I don't know? Maybe cause that woud be stupid.

  • Because its a song and it is meant to capture spirit, not technical details?

  • The first time I listened to Bruce. Was in 1979. I was 13 years old. Thanks to my brother Djamel. He brought me to see him in 1981 to Lyon "Palais des sports". First concert ever. Still remember it as if it was... Happy Birthday Mr.

  • Happy birthday Boss

  • GREAT BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN!

  • ogpeckerwood. I hear you loud and clear. My year was 1978, Pittsburgh Pa. 67 Coronet R/T, 440, carter 4 barrel, edelbrock manifold, headman headers and M/T valve covers and 411 posi. Waiting for the devils of the night to come out for the local street scene. What I wouldn't give to have that back. I miss racing in the streets. The sound of open headers and the smell and smoke of burnt rubber. Born to Run, Racing in the streets, Jungleland, you name it.

  • In 1976 my friend george and I were sitting in verdugo park, glendale, ca... smoking a joint and drinking budwiser... listening to kmet on a little portable radio... sitting in the street was my 1969 chevelle... with a 325 horse power turbojet big block engine... with massive chrome valve covers and a 780 holley.... hooker headers and a three speed muncie on the floor... we were getting primed for van nuys blvd... were going racing in the street.... that was the 1970's.

  • As a 46 year old streetracer, this song really personifies my life.... Its a way of life, yet its pointless, and this song, shows that, thus the sad ending, the dreams never realized....

    True Streetracers never " get it out of their systerm "

  • best song ever

  • I agree

  • you just done get better....Bruce is probably the best song writer of all time..such emotion..such great stories..so real...nothing fake..just greatness! he has so many...racing, backstreets, thunder road...it just doesnt get better in music..not in the past and not now

  • I live a few miles from Bruce Sp. here in NJ, right off Highway 9. Some of the stuff he sings about is no doubt from his life...others probably stuff he romanticizes about. Much the way Brian Wilson wrote about Calif.

  • class or what

  • What amazes me is how he captures the essence of life and reality in all his songs. Here he "wins" the girl, but in the end they both lose. I know that I have had similar relationships in my life. I listen to this and think back on them knowing that I'm a little richer for the experience but that each one has killed a little bit of me off. (Too deep?)

  • Nope, not too deep. You're just realizing that we're all dying from the time we're born. Like the boss says 'Some guys just give up livin' and some start dying little by little, piece by piece" but damn if this doesn't bring back some awesome memories. :)

  • Is this from the live album?

  • I think so, but not sure, I downloaded it

  • It's from Live 1975-85

  • Yes.

  • The best song!
