Bruce Springsteen - Racing In The Street (Paramount Theatre 2009)

[MultiBmwe34]

7 people drive a hybride

[Hossfly308]

7 people lost the race in the street....

[nittyranks]

Unreal. I always loved the outro to this song and used to listen to this and fall asleep when I was in HS.

[mounteverest24000]

awesome, simply awesome

[GDS4VR]

396 CID Stock engine in 69. BAD ASS car. Chevelle SS. 1/4 MILE. Not always on a track. In 69 they would throw you in jail. You can outrun the cops but you can't outrun the radio.

[Legsoffarrse]

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Roy Bittan's piano playing is possibly the best in the world.

[wengen2007]

Bruce did this song at Hyde Park - it was and is amazing.

[TheAltergo75]

@wengen2007 : right ! but here in Paramount Theatre, the violin is missing !

[wengen2007]

@TheAltergo75 You're right! Thanks!

[Sveniful]

***einfach fantastisch***

[corcaigh1000]

Great

Piano is so good and the pace of it is just right.

His best song for me.

[rocklover357]

F A N T A S T I C ! ! ! ! ! 

[sineadc1973]

some ppl just don,t like to race i see outta my way you better keep dislikes

[ATDStudios]

I hate that this song has to end! I could probably listen to it forever.

[sineadc1973]

i love this sounds so romantic

[MrBoyBoss]

@yunghweiko If you buy The Promise Box Set, you get these preformances, as well as some from 1978.

[pinkfloydfan1972]

Bruce Spingsteen live 1975-1985. there is the best version of this song.

[Iabud]

@pinkfloydfan1972 you're absolutely right...

[yunghweiko]

Can anyone tell me where I can buy this? iTunes?

[Marcus1050]

genial music...real music!

[johnnyM809]

The master at work

[Flashbagfolly]

Man I think I have grown some more chest hair just by listening to this.

Thank You Bruce.

[SuzzyStohelit]

A little bit softer now...)

[02Tilda]

Tilda and Fredrik LOVE THIS Bruce is King

[madmentalken]

probably my favourite Bruce song, it was a great track when I first heard it as a teenager when it first came out in the late 70's, but since then has become even more potent as the years have rolled by, finally getting to know what the song is all about, that sense of loss and longing that kicks in with certain apsects of adulthood

[rossweathersbee]

I am a big Bruce fan, and I can't stand it when people tell me that he "has such a raspy voice." They don't even know what they're missing! His music transcends the generations.

[catia512]

The best version what ever i have heard.

[fatguyinchair3]

This man is amazing. His music has so much meaning and soul. The Greatest Songwriter Ever

[kossofyou]

I listen to this and wonder if its the most wonderful 'rock ballad' (sorry that's horrid) ever. Then I think about the rest of this great album, and all of his back catalogue. And that alone makes me less sure.

[incub8]

@kossofyou I understand your dilemma! There is no way to pick a favourite song from Bruce's catalogue. For almost 40 years, I have tried. Songs appeal to one's mood and he has a song to fit every one we could ever have! In my humble opinion, there is no better artist. Bruce is the full package.

[IMByrne]

I remember listening to this on the Box album growing up and thinking, this man and his music will be with me and affect me all my days. Thanks Bruce for being a huge musical influence on my life.

[jgyll8mt]

I used to listen to this album over and over. A few of the songs had this kind of feeling about them. "Candy's Room," "Streets of Fire," "Something in the Night" and "Factory." A yearning for something....

[andreas718]

i love you Boss

[pmaudib]

Love this ...

[MrDaviearthur]

A master of the musical arts, fantastic version of this song,

the outro brings me goosebumps, 

[freeholdnative]

Best version I've heard of this masterpiece. RIP Clarence and Danny. Your music lives on. May this song play forever.

[craigslistbusiness]

So excited a tour is in the works for 2012 but w/o CC.

[dieselemt]

The outro to this song is just incredibly beautiful

[Nobber68]

i still love it

[brish0]

wow

[sineadc1973]

love the boss over 30 years he has helped me through life,s crap

[aznilsson]

I Die every time! Brilliant

[TheMrbirch]

WHAT A MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!!!<3

[auntalice1]

Oh Max!

The hands ache, and still there is such uplifting Defiance!

Keep drivin' Kid.

Just keep drivin'.

M.

[auntalice1]

We all love Bruce. We thank God in our darkest moments that he will echo the needs of our Hearts in music. And yet, there are always the E-Streeters in the Shadows. Was there ever a more talented, passionate piano player than Roy Bittan? We didn't miss you Roy. We never did. We never have. May your fingers keep dancin' for the rest of this Life, and beyond. -M.

[gablen23]

thx Bruce for all the great music you wrote

[auntalice1]

Would just like to echo other positive sentiments here. We have been a troubled Generation. Embracing both the Freedom and the Terrorism that Change in our World has brought. Certainly we faced changes that were beyond us. And still there was a Friend named Bruce to comfort us. I may not be able to thank him in this Life. But I surely will in the next one. That's going to be some ride in that top-down '69 Chevy. An open road and the radio turned up... Thanks for uploading. -M.

[MrSkybab]

This was the first Bruce song I remember way back when. My friends and I worked on hot rods and raced in the streets...the Branford on-ramp to thr 5 FWY. Those were great days.

[2911jackson]

One of the best story tellers of our time..he has kept me company on my life's journey..and will continue til the day i leave this earth..

[Retardico]

Grew up with Bruce's music. Guy saved my life during my teens. :)

So, if ever you watch your y-tube clips, Bruce: a big Thank you! :)

[ramrod20042000]

A musical genius! Just an amazing songwriter!

[1972Mrmax]

great song .....lol......bad sound sorry...

[djdileo67]

Incredible! Is there any better audio/video combination of this masterpiece in existence? Quintessential Bruce.

[sheikspace]

Boston 3/26 can't wait

[maethafoca]

Rock in Rio 2012....até já BOSS!!!

[nunobc100]

A MASTERPIECE!!! :) THE BOSS, ALWAYS LIKE A BOSS

[buckeyesrule10]

US TOUR DATES FINALLY!!! I'LL SEE BRUCE AND THE BAND IN PHILLY 3/28 AND 3/29!!!!

[cosmicowboy111]

Quite possibly my most favorite tune by the Boss, if you could actually chose just one song. Thanks for posting!

[AntonyCox]

Saw him back in 2009 at Glastonbury in the UK just one word "Awesome" Looking forward to seeing him again at "Hard Rock" in June.

[28091952]

Brilliant

[1bigbossfan]

he looks so disinterested singing,but its like it just comes so naturally for the boss to sing it so powerfully,sign of a true great

[drowning4sid]

@OzTwanger That's my point, it is simple but incredibly powerful. The body of this mans work, and what E Street has done with him, can make a lesser known song just absolutely incredible. Pure musical genius can make simple songs like this amazing. And that is what it is. Cheers, man.

[drowning4sid]

The greatest artist and band that ever existed. There, I said it.

[OzTwanger]

@drowning4sid I am not sure it is that simple. Musically there is not a great deal to this song. The Boss undoubtedly a great song writer and performer though

[platter1000]

@drowning4sid bruce is second best....the stones are first

[catia512]

I can not stop to listening this song. That is divine. No band on this planet can top the E Streetband. They are the best!

[billmcvicer]

What a truly wonderful version.

[billyred64]

An epic Bruce Springsteen song that has both thought and meaning. If you close your eyes and listen, you can actually see yourself there!!

[edelledonne]

amazing, quite possibly one of the most moving songs for the everyman....go home from work and wash up and go racing in the streets.....gonna ride to the sea and wash these sins off our hands.....no one writes lyrics like this anymore.....awesome

[schoffie1990]

This is.....wow...

[marcogreek]

Possibly my favorite from "Darkness." I just wonder how many times Bruce has been reminded that you can't put "Fuelie" heads on a big block 396 over the years???

[potterdan27]

glad to hear you got tickets...we're hoping he'll stop in TO...

[tomnbrit]

who will play the sax?

[tomnbrit]

Hey ... got tix for frankfurt ....seen him at least thirty times....can't wait.....yeah....

[catia512]

I love this song. This is unique. Great-great-great-great-great. The best E Streetband ever!

[HousniHD]

il est des moments de petits bonheurs tel qu' écouter Springsteen et E street band jouer ce qui se fait de mieux

[TomoSpringsteen]

[Onggi1]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuce!!!!

[mrbriscoe2001]

heard a long tier ago they were going to make a movie out of this song..wonder whatever happened..

[GODUCKGO]

Saw Bruce 10 times in the last 20 years.Never got this song even 1 time.I prayed for it each show. Guess I have to watch these videos to hear my favorite Bruce song ever made

[lookout26]

just class

[AntonyCox]

superb just superb - nothing else to say.

[Panteramageplan]

We don't call him The Boss for nothing...

[ipi223]

so beautiful wow

[benbestvater]

Keep on rocking Bruce.

[ipi223]

im usually hyper active but this song calm me down

[Kbuckhannon]

She just sits on the porch of her daddy's house and all her pretty dreams been torn and she stares off alone into the night with the eyes of one who hates for just being born. Thank you Bruce............

[kblp]

what happend to his voice?

[longwaitforwaitingpo]

@kblp giving your all in every perfomance for 40 years and every concert lasts 3 and 1/2 hour,.. what do you think would happen to his voice?

[kblp]

@longwaitforwaitingpo wasnt this song used in the movie "Pretty Woman" ?

[longwaitforwaitingpo]

@kblp sounds like it, but i think it was just inspired by this song, nothing official:)

[Nicl3706]

The three people who disliked this are either deaf and could not hear the song, or blind and couldn't find the like button...

[brucespringsteen1988]

simply just crying

[CtScarlioni]

Every time I hear this song, I hope that they find redemption on the beach. And every time, I know that it's not very likely, that there's only emptiness and a kind of desperate defiance in that prolonged outro. And every time, I find another layer in this song, quite simply one of the greatest songs ever written.

[MrTimexspeed]

Bruce, You habe been my companion all through the years...

First I`ve seen you in Hamburg/Germany in 1979, from this time I was infected, I learned playing guitar, I sing Your heart-warming songs, Your lyrics and Your music move me to tears. You will be my hero forever !!!!

Thanks for giving me so much !

God bless You, old storyteller

[holitipu]

@MrTimexspeed This is interesting. Where did you see Bruce in 1979? Because he only performed in a couple of places in Europe in 1975, and then was not back again till The River tour in 1981.

[ipi223]

j'en pleure tellement jolie!

[nathalex04]

Bru uuuuuu....ce j'adore !!!!!!

[Debsmur1]

Out of our way, mister, you best keep........No one does it like him!!!!

[PMATSOnTheMat]

One of the most underrated Guitarist of this century! AMAZING!

[ayatollahrocknrolla]

The 3 guys that disliked this have given up living and are dying little by little, piece by piece

[mikalo1616]

@ayatollahrocknrolla

or used to drive a Camero in L.A. ?

[bigsmith1963]

@ayatollahrocknrolla ---maybe are jester!

[what1111000]

i can't even drive a stick shift or change my own oil. i'm not gay so i don't go for the sex-appeal stuff.  but i was born in new jersey; and damn do i love this song! songs are about emotion/expression and this is one of the best ever!

when i drive down the garden st. parkway and the kids on motorcycles pass in betwen the lanes at 150, all i can do is give them the thumbs up and wish i had the balls that they have. bruce is a poet, and sums up freakish new jersey like shakespear in his way!

[thugs81]

ciao clarence...sono orgoglioso di essere stato un tuo fans!!!!!

brividi nel finale ragazzi!!!!!

[Nicl3706]

@thugs81 anche Danny Federici!!!

[thugs81]

@Nicl3706 si certo...ma sei italiano? o americano? ciao

[Nicl3706]

@thugs81 Sono Italo-Americano! :P Sono di Youngstown Ohio. Tu, di dove sei?

[thugs81]

@Nicl3706 sono di Avellino si trova a 30 km da Napoli...questo concerto del boss non lo conoscevo è stupendo! non riesco a scaricarlo da nessuna parte... hai genitori italiani? ciao

[Nicl3706]

@thugs81 Ah, mi manca Napoli, tanto! ho vissuto a Napoli per due anni a 2007-2009. Napoli e la citta piu bella del mondo.

[1968jara]

RIP Clarence xxxx

[nandp1]

@bosseforever and garry tallent, he is amazing on the bass.

[tomnbrit]

let this never be forgotten, guys we share moments forever....!!

[76ComicFan]

Can pretty much sum up Springsteen's like this...Broken promises,torn apart friendships, people losing their jobs,people in street fights,songs about hope and shattered dreams,teenage hopeless romantics,hookers,bad relationships with their fathers and of course car racing :P Songs are very honest and paints a very dark picture of America and how us in America are struggling to get through life. People "that don't get it" are the ones chanting Born In The USA on Independence Day.

[jamgto7]

My God....Is This Great Or What!

Makes me want to fire up the old GTO and take her for a ride.

[dprague]

My older brother Terry and I used to race his red 72' notch back Vegas modified with a 300 aluminum block V-8 back in 79'. He introduced me to Bruce. This cassette tape used to play all night in the old pioneer. He died in 2001. He was 39 and still racing. I miss you Terry. Thank you for showing me the world and great music.

[lukreelo]

I agree with Poyer1023 - How could you not like this??? See also Serna Ryder's cover. Perhaps the best cover of this song.

[sakt3x]

SOO AMAZING, THE BOSS



[Poyer1023]

how could you not like this?????????

[nadjairis]

that's what is all about.... shared emotion... chapeau... bruce...



[aljo3333]

max,this is the definition of keeping time.very solid.

[truecockney1]

When I was 14, i listened to "Telegraph Road" by Dire Straits and it reminded me of something. I hope Mark has admitted he's inspired by Bruce.

[skillor1989]

really great :)

Is there any DVD out or so? I found nothing about it :(

[habbopassload]

@skillor1989 I think this DvD was included with the Promise - Darkness on the Edge of town collectors edition

[karma123]

@skillor1989

It´s part of the "Darkness aniversary box"

[sanctified4one]

It's times like this that I need to remind myself to breathe...

[bennols]

2 people have never heard real music before.

[fontarock67]

I LOVE YOU BIG MAN. DESCANSE EN PAZ CLARENCE. ALLA DONDE VAYAS LLEVARAS LA MAGIA DE TU SAXO. GRANDE POR SIEMPRE

[MMAKICKS]

Bruce is just too good. Can't go to a song I haven't heard and not play it at least 4 or five times over and over.

[mlynchist]

one of Bruce's forgotten tunes ' rest in peace big man'

[246stf]

Hello, BOSS fans.I’m Japanese Boss fan and Roy Bittan fan. This song and Bittan's play makes me wanna cry............Wonderful song !!!Beautiful play!!!

[JetDriver1111]

I grew up with Bruce in my house everyday.....this performance is stunning...his band is his family...that is NOT something you see often......watch these guys play...they do it to make him be the BOSS...that is a love from friends you DO NOT find in this world these days...I am speechless watching them play this....and I'm a professional musician......unbelievable....­!!!

[rhm01]

@supervilla5 was there too, totally agree

[Bossladyone2]

I miss my 65 Formula S Cuda with my Hurst shifter, leaf springs, H's on back and G's in front, double overhead cam, factory tac, chrome air cleaner, All High Performance little muscle car. Nostalgia. It was a nice car until a priest hit me.

[MissJenneke]

Wauw... Magnificent !!!

[CaliforniaStratCat]

Much love and all due respect to The Rolling Stones, but THIS is The World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band.

[mikmaz77]

@CaliforniaStratCat ...Amen Brother!

[Matthayden1965]

@CaliforniaStratCat You are so very right!

[xIIJoshIIx]

@CaliforniaStratCat Very, very true. You can take The Beatles, The Who, The Rolling Stones, U2, Dylan and anyone else you want but Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band are simply the greatest band of all time.

[kleman6]

@xIIJoshIIx No doubt!  The only people who say they aren't haven't seen them live...

[CURRYHOLIC1]

It does not get any better than that. Brilliant performance. I have been lucky enough to have seen him twice when he has been to Britain. Memories that will never die.

[blue29eyes]

Bruce's music is magical...and no matter how hard you try to resist a song, it somehow manages to go straight to your heart and soul and pull out your emotions.

If you feel it in your soul, then that is what a passion for music is. I now appreciate this song more than ever because he sings from his own soul...

[aljo3333]

this is the best version of this song that i have ever heard, Bruce really lets the whole band shine.

[oldschooler1977]

I think the 'twang' is just who he is now. As he's aged, the Boss has moved away from that full-throated, shooting for Roy Orbison sound. It's the voice of an optimist who's a little older, little wiser, and who had two or three dreams shorn off along the way. He's easily the artist of his generation who has aged the best, physically, musically, philosophically ...
