Bruce Springsteen Ghost of Tom (Morello) Joad HD

[Jackwee182]

those years of practicing 12 hours a day even at harvard payed off:)

[hello1967amazing]

@Jackwee182 what are you talking about, tom played guitar alot, but not 12 hours a day

[Jackwee182]

@hello1967amazing i looked it up....8

[hello1967amazing]

@Jackwee182 ye 12 would mean he couldnt actually do collage :L 

[chihawks2010]

Fucking Brilliant.

This could be the best rock song of the last 20 years.

And I really don't even have a Springsteen CD

[1canyonguy]

Waiting for Bruce at my occupy

[Eliq09]

heyyy silvio dante on the guitar near morello (he has a black bandana on head)! nice

[theatlantisrise]

Morello is a good guitar player, but dammit do I wish he would keep it simple.

[BobDawg173]

@theatlantisrise lol

[snupcho]

@theatlantisrise Yeah I know what you mean, but he's doomed for life with the "signature RATM" whammy exploitation and shit. Which was cool in RATM, but very unnecessary here. I think I heard all RATM solos during this lol

[ILoveLucyE68NY]

SOB that was F'n AWESOME

[benbanksart]

Dude, good video and sound too! Thanks.

[JakexisxCake]

Two great veterans playing a great song awesome

[rwarren93]

Freakin' GREAT!!! I was at this show with my 14 and 10 year old. So glad I was able to share it with them.

[bensmith3200]

Bruce so rarely takes guitar solos, but I'm always stunned at his qualities as a lead player. He always holds his own. Obviously Morello's a great player.

Great performance!

[rockisdead81]

i love bruce and rage and tom morello, but morellos solo was fucking garbage. total masturbatory waste of time. and his tone sucks. and when he and the boss were "trading licks" bruce made him sound like a child.

[dejavu3552]

@rockisdead81 dude totally agree with you but every one seems to think other wise

morello is good but he does way too much makes it sound like crap

[MBnjmn]

@rockisdead81 THe first solo made him look like a better more well rounded player. It showed that he can actually play instead of relying on his pedals to make the sound. The second solo was just the same recycled stuff from RATM.

[BobDawg173]

@MBnjmn The second one wasn't just pedals believe me.

[ILoveLucyE68NY]

F'n AWESOME...Tom Morello is so HOTTTTTTTT and a turn on when he jams baby...LOL

[ElephantRage]

There must must a reason if we all call him The Boss.

[SuzzyStohelit]

No shit, support your local food pantry..

[SuperTiddly]

Rnrhof performance IMO was different and smoother

[marvin666777]

great performance, buy a new camera

[ILoveLucyE68NY]

F"N GREAT !!!!!!!!!

[murraymctavish]

"the other guitar player"?  wow.

[2pacbiggie4334]

@murraymctavish

lol his name is the boss. like, learn it! lol

[murraymctavish]

@2pacbiggie4334 , ya i know haha, Springsteen is one of my favourite musicians. I was trying to be a dick to XXavierTaylor, but I screwed up. Sarcasm doesn't work as well in type I guess!

"The Boss" = best nickname of all time.

[xxhiyo25263]

@murraymctavish i think they meant, the other guitar player as in the guy behind morello

[reed311]

@xxhiyo25263 That's a bass player.

[XXavierTaylor]

the other guitar player is like: dayummm at morellos solo

[Morgan30233]

Glad I watched your video. On HBO you do not pick up the Mandolin and some other things they recorded through the board.

[JTNugget]

Extremely powerful song.

[apc467]

and of course youtube wont load the solo.....

[ILoveLucyE68NY]

F""N AWESOME !!!!!!!!

[dawnofretaliation]

Wow that was awesome man. Great song and with Morello just making it perfect

[bulbangs]

the highway is alive tonight

[DaddyNiz2u]

Morello absolutely rocks!

[mojowatching]

Dude, awesome quality.  I need this!

[thefoolFo20]

I LOVE this performance, mostly because of Morellos last solo where he just kind of loses his damn MIND :)

This is good music, when it makes people tear up.. man!!!! Awesome! Dont know how / why, but it did the same to me, + I got chills.. crazy.. Ive only had a few songs ever do that to me.. One was a dj blend, just matched perfectly..

[asianelite]

Max Wienberg!

[MrKickyourbutt]

@asianelite Too bad he sold out.

[gotcha51wtf]

While Tom is a way better guitar player, Bruce is just a better singer than Tom. But their forces combined are just amazing :) love this performance!

[JTNugget]

@gotcha51wtf Tom's a pretty good singer for not being a front man though.

[hyphyhour]

@JTNugget haha look up "the nightwatchman"

[TheKVids]

@hyphyhour Or in his early the Led Zeppelin Cover Band where he was Lead singer.

[mavriskyla]

every goddamn time I hear this song I burst into tears...

[tnnoodle]

tom gives goose pimples to everybody

[Poyer1023]

man ur lucky to have seen this live. awesome, very very awesome.

[FabSteveHH]

these two guys, together with nils lofgren are some of the finest guitar players on earth! and what bruce always gets out of his songs when he plays them live is just incredible!

[ILoveLucyE68NY]

Tom ,, you are one sexy bastard !!!!! lol

[selfrighteous88]

and i am just watching it over and over again and i cant but try to keep my tears for myself i mean why should i cry what is just goin'on , what sort of a magical aura dawns upon this moment that just tears my soul ? thank u for sharing this with those couldn't have known it otherwise sweendoger

[selfrighteous88]

this was just great

[AllRockYou]

this show was just magic. tom is a magic guitarist. he is the way best in the world. tom pwns bruce so much do bruce don't know what to do. enough said

[longwaydrifter]

it's not about pwning bruce, they both have an understanding towards each other, it's symbolic in it's own right, he's passing on the torch to the younger generation, and tom morello is someone who would and does represent the fight...they stand together looking at the suffering in todays world, and they've both have done their time being active in trying to make a difference for the world one step at a time...if you watch them together in the rock hall of fame you'll seebruce notionforhim2step^

[FOAMER103061]

tom is a great guitar player - way better than bruce - bruce would even claim as much - bruce is first and foremost a writer - but you miss alot if you think this is about who owns who - enough said - jackass

[dropkick426]

NOBODY owns Bruce.

[thelenis]

very cool

[billyb123xyz]

Man, Tom has come so far with his mad skills lol, the harmonics with his hand flying all over the place was so entertaining, and very nicely executed... and although he is so talented, it just doesn't seem like he gets as much attention as he deserves... tom's quite the guitar prodigy, or he's definitely worked his way up to that level...i mean starting from 6:41 it begins to sound like a bunch angry violinist... close your eyes and you cant even tell it's a guitar... good luck with 2010 Tom!!!

[AllRockYou]

look at the guy to the right from 5:58 to 6:44 very funny :D

[toterola451]

The guy on the right: are you talking about Little Steven?

Now that's funny! Sort of disconnected, but funny!

[toddoconner]

@AllRockYou That's Silvio from The Sopranos. Serious.

[plmooney]

The only we don't realize Morello's greattess is that we are so, so very jaded.

[whatsonyourbrain]

excellent quality!

[gotavtec2006]

Awesome position for this video! love it.

[OWAwrestler]

anyone know where to get guitar tabs for morello's 2nd solo? it would b greatly appreciated

[STimo95]

you can find out the tabs yoourself, if you search on :"Bruce Springsteen - The Ghost Of Tom Joad w/Tom Morello 2009 (Los Angeles, CA) HQ", and click the top one, you'll find an official version, however it doesn't have the first solo, only the second, and you can see what tom morello's hands are doing, hope it helps

[OWAwrestler]

@STimo95 thanks a bunch dude

[christine24666]

@deltronzero08 don't feel bad, they were just jealous they could never play like that to save their lives lol

[petulantimbecile]

Welcome to the New World Order.

[yankees01923]

omg. i finally figured out the over under part. its just harmonics on the g string with the whammy set at one octave.

[bmmedicated]

Bruce and Morello = TWO COMMIES

[erdiploma]

do-do-do-dooah.

[LeagueOfMars]

So what

[pbesmer]

your messed up .. such great music and you mouth Rush Limbaugh

[CAIN3R]

TOM = GOD

[mikespeenberg]

powerpuffage is not the only person who teared up watchin' Morello on HBO.

[Powerpuffage]

I watched this concert on HBO on the weekend and I swear Morello's solo was so good that it made me tear up.

[rotorite86]

This show in this video was in LA. The HBO special was the R&R HoF 25th Anniversary. Both shows, awesome solo!!

[TheDementedAvenger]

Somebody buy that man a pair of wire cutters!

[DanishFlames]

HAHA!

[snapperhead2]

This song is performed brilliantly. Folks can argue which guitarists are better based on technique, style, originality, etc. But, at the end of the day, no matter how much "technique" is present, the only thing that matters is whether you were moved by it. Well done Bruce, E Street, and Tom!

[anarchic9]

god, Tom is in my opinion, the best gutarist to have come out of the 90's. The sad thing is, he isn't as well known as he should be.

[deltronzero08]

yea sadly i was watchin this with friends and most of them were all like who the fuck is tom morrello??? and i was pissed cuz we all grew up during the Rage era.

[8182570]

@deltronzero08 no kidding? Well i just learned about rage and tom morello 2 years ago and I was born in the '90s :P

[iitsnickybo0o96]

@8182570 haha me too. i first heard of RATM and tom from guitar hero x]

[8182570]

@iitsnickybo0o96 lesson is: its not about when or how you found out about em its about the love :D :D :D

[iitsnickybo0o96]

@8182570 so true :)))

[99nirvanafan99]

Not just the 90's Tom is one if not the greatest guitarests there is not just because he can play

but because of his creativity and his imagination to discover those sounds half the sounds you hear were from him just sitting around fooling with the guitar trying to discover new sounds that can come from the guitar.

[anarchic9]

your preachin to the choir man!

[valboski]

northernwoodw.;....how can you even bash him in this video that solo was fuckin nuts! hes a great guitarist

[Northernwoodw]

He is a joke a Satriani, vai wanna be and he is not 1/2 as good as either!

[kcjohnz]

Tom Morello is so much better

[VCSRT]

Considering someone who originally came from a politically motivated "Grunge" band showed everyone but Buddy Guy up(Who literally destroyed it), I think I would disagree.

If I wanted to sit and listen to pentatonic scales all day no doubt, I will listen to Vai and Satriani. Even though Buddy Guy was playing them before either was born.

[VerZatiLe]

this is brilliant.

[DL345]

amazing simply amaqzing

[djmcg07]

Tom Morello is what Bruce was circa 1978..(See Prove it All Night Phoenix 1978) and you can see that Bruce knows it in this song.

[YarikDras]

i love how you can still see some of that rage against in tom. great vid.

[antiwar94]

One of the most amazing videos ever.

[treviddick]

My words spoken by someone else mate. Wow

[gotavtec2006]

Indeed.. I saw it first on HBO and was dumbfounded... this video wins

[beastieboy2]

SOMEONE NEEDS TO TAB THIS!!

[deathcontinued]

Music laws of the jungle: 3. Let there be music 2. Let Bruce rock 1. LET MORELLO PLAY, SAYS I!

[tessel66]

Thank you for this post...I've watched this over 20 times with my 3 year old

[isabellefjall]

this version is one of the greatest!

[halperson]

amazing footage you got - thanks for sharing!

[Noyes654]

Hard to believe this miracle was only a month ago

[rockwallaby79]

the pure joy of playing music. the amazing thing about springsteen is, that he is up there and always gives 100%. and morello? one hell of a guitar player. wow! this must be one of the most outstanding guitar performances ever. it is good to see them on stage together. no envy. the way it has to be.

[box5og]

Scorching hot!!!!

[MY0bby]

Bruce, thanks for highlighting the stage with one bad ass playa (Morello)...the ghost of Tom , Outlaw Pete and all the beauty of the E street band shined in LA this week. Rock on

[8182570]

[uschramm]

Steve can only look on in awe. This was the absolute high of the evening. The boss followed it with one of his little rock 'n roll numbers. The oxygen was burned for a while.

[torstenq]

Great, thanks for posting! *****

[dizzymasekela]

It's time Morello just join the effing E Street Band. He's gotta quit teasing us like this.

[ForYouBrucefromEddie]
