Bruce Springsteen - Racing in the Street - Hyde Park Calling

[tonitsi78]

The piano/organ solo and how it builds up is just something out of this world.

[Eleishabr5]

GOD Please let me hear this live!! I beg of you.



[Toldyasograndma]

Just phenomenal. Amateur video and sound of the highest quality, recording the best tune, in the best gig ever of my 35 year experience. And I get this for free. There is a God.

[MannBrothersFilms]

i love it

[jwrpalmer]

great concert and this was the best song of the set - one of the best performances I have ever seen live.. the feeling in the crowd was electric, they knew the song fine and the applause in the middle wasn't because they thought it was the end of the song, it was a recognition of beautiful lyrics beautifully performed

[GoffredoAG]

The absolute peak of one of the best concert of my life.

[asouto]

the crowd didn't know the music and began clap at minute 5:00 when the end instrumental solo began. They don't know the lucky they had to be there! Wish I had also the chance to be there!

[pilot2308]

...and you can tell this one is for Danny! Miss him so much!

[pilot2308]

Got me the bluray of this great show....and of course seen the band on Frankfurt just a few days later.....this is what life is for!

[tcamlin]

Roy Bitten's piano is outstanding on this! Love it!!!! <3

[Deneised]

Bruce - his heart - his soul - forever one of my favorite of so so many of his songs - thanks for giving me a preview of this - cannot wait for DVD.

[johnners53]

Will be in there for the DVD. The greatest gig of my 40 year experience, with a fried egg on top. And since that includes Queen for 40p and Floyd for £1.65 the accolade is not given lightly.

[brucefan072]

I was there on june 28th 2009 in London, all the way from Holland to see the greatest live performer of all time perform in Hyde Park. What a GREAT night it was! I'll never forget this my whole life. Thanks Bruce for giving me som much beautiful memories over the years. You rock!!! ;-)

[sanderchj]

@brucefan072 Cool, me too. Going to the preview of the dvd in Breda on Thursday too?

[vermeer11136]

Saw and heard this beauty for the first time in 1981 in Brussels during "The River" tour. I was 19. I cried my eyes and heart out. And still do whenever this one hits me

[fourfortysixpak1]

@vermeer11136 Brings back many fond memories of cruising down Main st in my 70 Cuda, still got the car and thank Bruce for bringing those days to life with this song. Many teardrops have fallen since I first heard this song and its given me a chance follow my dreams home, even if just for a few moments. Beautiful song,

[menandmice]

Summer is here. Brilliant stuff.

[thunderroad1961]

nu al een legendarisch optreden.

Kan niet wachten op de dvd van hyde park.

Waanzinnig!!

[sergioftcarvalho]

Roy Bittan RULES!!!!!!!!!!!

[jerryskid1]

This show will be released on BluRay in June! Yay!!

[sanderchj]

@jerryskid1 That is great news!

[mrsthunderoad]

@jerryskid1 when...and where....and what's the meaning of " released " please

[stevebostonian]

@mkc718 This year?

[djcanfield4]

its good to hear such a large audience actually listen and take in one of springsteens most beautiful pieces of music

[Airfabio]

Does anybody know if a dvd of it will soon come out????

[futoandutoo]

I have like this song for years but, one thing about this song. hey BRUCE listen up, I can see you're a millionaire and all your glory but, BBC's did not have fuelie heads. That was SBC on injected cars #461's. I wonder if anyone ever corrected him.

however,

GREAT SONG!!! EXCELLENT FOOTAGE THANKS!!

that little cam is amazing

[CPSJSMSUUMUGA]

@futoandutoo What? You want him to change the lyrics? The car is hardly the point of the song.

For that matter, racing in the street isn't the point, either.

I think he's writing about the difficulty of keeping a relationship that is satisfying to both partners.

The dilemma: How much do you compromise your happiness so that someone you love will be happy. If you come home and wash up, and go racing in the streets, causing her such pain (eyes that hate for just...), do you really love her?

[parnellijones]

Great song from the greatest band.... but top quality footage from the crowd. Great work, sanderchj

[dg5285]

Absolutely legendary evening

[box5og]

Beautiful video, thanks so much for posting!!!

[1captainvontrapp]

brings it all back, guitar held high above head in middle section. Great night, great band roll on the next tour

[ascoteagle]

That was for Danny I think, RIP Danny

[0jatta0]

I was with my mom.. She's a huge fan. I didn't like Bruce before but I have to admit, he really rocked that park down! I wish I will see him again live.

[hicky56]

Thank you - and amazing video from an amazing show - you must have been about 5 yards from where i was

[seniortutor]

Great post, thganks for this, it was even better on the night but this post goes close. Roll on the next tour.

[SuzzyStohelit]

Oh now what a great video I have to see him soon while the rush of energy of the Bare-foot girl is still in my future...

[dancingclubber]

What a day!! Or should I say what an evening! Was shouting at the TV when we saw him play at Glastonbury the NIGHT before telling him to go to sleep!! get some rest! I don't think he did get any and wow...what an amazing performance!! Practically 3 hours and the man is 60, a true honor to be in his company! thanks bruce!

[Broomeister]

Was an honour to be there and it just keeps getting better every time I watch it!

[skakich]

was at hyde park, total highlight and what a great quality post!!

[LBjim]

I love this song.."I met her on the strip 3 years ago in a Camaro with this dude from LA.."......what a poet...

[poshkev1963]

Many thanks . a brilliant post

[bigfrankedge]

one of the most beautiful songs ever written cant remember him doing it any better than this ever thanks for a great video

[sonoveramenteio]

Thank you, thank you! Thanks for posting. I was there. The jem of the concert.

[johnners53]

The Danny thing is getting to me now. I remember an interview with the Boss where he said, as I recall it, that the biggest achievement was that the E Street Band were all still alive, so it must have hurt so much when Danny lost his fight. What a guy, what a band.

[skeethy]

Like Mazzer0, it always brings a tear to the eye when this song starts up, it did on the night and it has again. Brilliant camerawork and thanks for posting

[stratocastermojo]

This was my first time Iv seen Springsteen in Concert , it was an amazing gig (this being a highlight) and turned me from a casual listener (who just knew the hits) to being an obsessive in the course of over 3 hours. I got a new found respect for the Boss & E Street band. Can anyone tell me why he held is Tele up during the Piano solo?

[buchanan174]

Someone here thought it was the time when Danny would have come in on organ

[johnners53]

Yes, sorry sanderchj, it takes not just the band to deliver, but also someone with good kit and a good viewpoint to take the trouble to record and post.. Not a trivial job at 9 minutes - respect! Your sound is like being there.

[mazzer0]

My favourite Bruce song, never fails to choke me, not ashamed to say a tear left my eye as the piano first started. i'm really lucky to have seen it 3 out of the last 4 gigs i've been to. The O2, Emirates (2nd night) and Hard Rock. The Professor is a legend by the way. Thanks for posting and great camera!!

[johnners53]

For me this was the standout moment of a stupendous day. Magnificent piano work by Roy Bittan. The Prof is,I believe, 60 this very day. Happy birthday if so. People talk because the volume has been turned down at big festivals by cautious councils.. In the old days, even the quiet numbers were too noisy to hold a conversation. It's not big, and it's not clever. At one or two points I had to point out to yakky dimwits that I had paid my £50 to hear Bruce, not them.

[buchanan174]

Hey for great Bittan piano try Fire Inside by Bob Seger. I've seen it here on YouTube, but despite what the video shows, Bittan is playing piano, like he does on other Seger stuff.

And Giordano used to play piano with Pat Benetar - grossly underused, but fantastic on The Good Life on her True Love album - spotify it

[buchanan174]

Thunder @0:26?  There wasn't any...

Did you read that Jon Bon Jovi was supposed to come on for an encore of Hungry Heart but Bruce at THREE hours ran overtime!

[buchanan174]

Second Racing in The Street I have seen in the UK in 18 months - did it at the O2 in 12/07. This was even better but I had to tell some morons behind me to STOP BLOODY TALKING. Why do people do that at concerts, that and push through to the front when it is jammed packed. Oh and smoke as well!!

[wierss]

thanks It was a great moment of the show. thanks for the vid!!!!

[fcdiablo]

i thought when i was there that it was an incredibly special moment to be a part of...like being a witness to somthing sacred...most bands dont make you feel like that...thanks for allowing me to revisit that moment!

[Bacchus440]

Very respectable audience. Bow

[FISHER71]

Thanks for posting. Brilliant job..  Great gig with this the highlight for me... 20years seeing the bruce and the first racing.. Iv been quite lucky.. For You then iv seen all my fav songs live... thanks again for posting...

[zile75]

Great quality! I was there on Sunday night, despite no Thunder Road or Point Blank it was a magical evening.

[hyenachase]

what cam you got this video is amazing amazing quality?

the boss rules very band ever

[AdriCola]

I think it's a Panasonic DMC-TZ7

(look at the video info box :D )

[hyenachase]

lol ops ta m8 :)

[iwishiwasbritney1]

Oh Man!

You people are so so lucky. Ive seen him many times and I have never been lucky enough to hear him sing this.  Amazing.

[rhm01]

actually i realised why he raises his guitar, it's the point at which Danny Federici would have come in on the organ.

[Enerjee]

I was there on Sunday ! Magical !

By the way who were the first band at 1:45? I think they were native American plus a guest vocalist called Spencer Batisse? Anyone know their name?

[Mettski]

highlight of the show for me,, no doubt.. when i heard it in tampa after danny, it was unbelievable, and not heard it live since. amazing surprise and out there. thanks bruce.

[buckyberger]

what camera have you got ..superb quality ..i want one

[rucurvy]

Awesome recording, thank you so much for posting this. Wish I had been there!

[PeteG24]

A truly brilliant recording. Wa there at the front with my daughter ( her first but not last Bruce show). A special day. This moves me to tears. Thanks

[galwegians08]

AMAZING!!

[jerryskid1]

Greetings from LA. This is just as good as the '78 tour.

[igorprincipe]

Professor Roy sweeter than ever!

[bangkokblade]

For me, the definate highlight of an unforgettable show.

I was stood next to four tough looking, middle aged Springsteen fans who were so happy they were all nearly in tears when they heard the intro.

What a song!

Thank you for such a great recording.

[pk56]

Thanks - great video and reminder of a great show.

[1979RED1]

thank you sir

[5150sah]

Wonderful day - seen him 9 times since '85 and this was up there with thr bst - highlights for me were this & Jungleland - my daughters are now the next generation of fans - their first Bruce concert! Thanks for posting

[gaaary1]

best song on the night this made the concert a classic gr8 video best wishes THE ICEMAN

[deeestuary]

Great song, great recording.

[rhm01]

I reckon only Bruce could raise his guitar like he does @ 5:05 and it be moving rather than corny.

[chalkmeister100]

Brilliant vid, so glad he played this and so glad you captured it all... thankyou

[tompoynton]

Beautiful... thank you so much. Was in tears at the end :-)

[Redjont]

Well done excellent recording and quality!

[erico1977]

The quality on this is amazing, love this song, my favourite bruce song from my favourite bruce album

[wengen2007]

Thanks!! We were there-a long way back-but the magic was everywhere! Best band on the planet!!

[chrisbb33]

AWESOME!!!! Thanks!!!

[djmcg07]

Amazingly shot! Felt like i was in the 5th row! Bruce/EStreet...tightest band on the planet. JUST LOOK AT 1:40 w Bruce and Max the druumer.. 100% in synch..I'm From New Jersey and can't wait to venute across The Pond for a festival like this...CHEERS!

[Eeza07]

Amazing. One of the best versions I've seen and a truly magnificent, heartfelt performance.

[jhmrr9]
