grew up listening to springsteen since I was about 3. Lived about 20 minutes from him and I have ran into him many times. The first time I met him I was in aw I was only about 11. Saw them live with my one ex girlfriend up in hamilton ON. This song hits hard for me recently. Reminds me off my recent fuck ups.

Even though my mom's one friend was an asshole. I have to thank him for getting his brother (springsteens trainer) to get me to met him and a set list.

Reminds me of my recent ex.

It is about becoming a woman too... Great song!!

A wonderful find: this was one of my fave 'obscure' Bruce songs, even in the 70's (after "Born to Run" had pretty much eclipsed everything he had done, prior, in the eyes of the masses).

To watch a LIVE vid of it, so early in this man's legendary career, is a real treat.

IMHO, Bruce's greatest years as a lyricist were those prior to "Darkness on the Edge of Town". There was a magic that somehow didn't transcend to 'the Boss' phase (post Born in the USA release).

But that's just me...

So he will be 60 (!!) in two days... Can´t believe it... when he sang this song I was 1 year old!!!!! I am Springsteen Fan since my 16th birthday... he is fantastic. Forever!!!!!!

[Ricco1039]

My favourite song ever, I can play the song and sing slightly but it would never do it justice. What a legend!

[skinnyskaller]

Maybe he spent some time listening to Bob? :) Man, this is really tremendous!

[gustavopena02116]

This is from may of 72 (5/2/72) he is 22...first album comes out next year. Pretty damn special. My favorite song when I was growing up.

[no9dixiedean]

[jerseyrovcker61]

He is 22 do the math and his birthday is September 23, 1949...he is 22

[SmokinWillie]

how old is bruce here?21?22?

[primitivelink]

That gave me chills up and down my spine!

I still got 'em!

Bruce in the '70s was the greatest, untouchable. This footage is unbeleivable!

THANK YOU!

He's what rock used to be! Sexy, fun, soulful, inventive, celebratory, a sweet escape.

[scottallee]

[bryandunnblues]

This is a true gem and inspriring to a wanna song writer like me.

[jonesey67]

Just fantastic. Thx!

[yankeespy3]

glammer, thanks so much for that piece of history. I'll bet the Village hadn't seen anything like that performance since Dylan. It's great to see Bruce evolving his art.

[seans10]

Man, I love Springsteen's first album. There's something very special about those songs.

[21CenBreakdown]
