Bruce Springsteen - Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

[zectofrazer]

clarence thats a sick solo you will be sorely missed by all fans of the e street band

[MichaelPNoonan]

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Big Man's family as it must be very hard to hear this very popular Springsteen Christmas song repeatedly over a 3-4 week span. So many memories, never to forget him!

[bigbossfan9293]

The Big Man will be sadly missed. RIP Big Man...you were the greatest - thanks for the memories. See you further up the road!

[faze2b]

This concert was a christmas gift from the woman I was dating at the time. I had taken her to Paris and London six weeks earlier. She this was her thank you gift.

[JordansMom769]

trying to find the version where before he starts singing he asks the audience if they've been good, apparently not many raised their hands & he says "that's not many, that's not many, you guys are in trouble out there!" Thanks!!

[rfck450]

where can i find the radio released version?

[johncat3]

@rfck450 i here almost everday here in northwest ohio on the radio....94.5

[bbhoksa]

Fantastic performance.

[mralan1969uk]

wheres the video ... it's a black screen .... hmmmm

[eyescandeceive]

the video comes in at about 1:30

[2222buckman]

This is absolutely amazing to see this video on YouTube. I shot this video over 7 years ago as a senior at Bucknell Univ.. Drove to and from Pittburgh for the show that same day/night w/ w buddy and vividly recall the land-speed record drive back to school!

To note: Shut offcaamera for Thunder Road (thinking concert was over- did not want riks getting busted) but turned back on for this special song.

[19339Ponken]

You better watch out!

[elenaclancy001]

@joakim9311 I like bruce but geez your a dick

[faze2b]

This concert was a christmas gift from the woman I was dating at the time. I had taken her to Paris and London six weeks earlier. She believed that this would be her thank you gift.

[kraftybeaver]

this is so fake

[Sundevilhp29]

how so?

[kraftybeaver]

I was with Bruce at the Stone Pony that night...we was drinking whiskey and talkin' Politrix. That was an imposter performing with the E-Street Band! A phony, a fake! Bruce is like 4 inches shorter than that guy.

[dunks2612]

if he's english, it makes sense, becuase we have the day first, not the month like the yanks!

[Reedez]

he meant the 4th of december ;)

not the 12th of april ^^

[jacksparrow1998]

a little shaky but ok

[kittykitty325]

god bless +

[Trombworks]

Wait, nevermind, you just have the day and month switched. It was in December.

[Trombworks]

I like the song but you say that this was a concert in April. Why would he be singing this in April?

[jesusnixon]

my xmas wish is that bruce gets aids and dies

[terribletowel5]

the boss never gets old. god bless you bruce †

[nfaz75]

This is my favourite version. it kicks ass!

[Lax153331]

i agree you should die

[SMS1381]

This version of this song is on my list of worst Christmas songs. Especially that old pukey version where he makes himself laugh while he's singing. Puh.

[tomkier3]

KILL YOURSELF YOU STUPID CUNT

[yawnproductions]

...thats it tomkier3...embrace the christmas spirit..

[SMS1381]

Why? Because I don't like this version of this Christmas song? Wow, someone has problems.

[beastiegirl95]

does anybody know where the live 1975 version is, the one that they play on the radio a lot?

i like that one!

[hannanathan564]

that 1s kule

[benandkieranintheam]

where can u buy that hat?

[hupsje]

So much fun!!!

[ErikMumm]

I saw The Boss last year (almost to date) at the Palace in Detroit, and it was unlike anything else. You can just tell that he's having a great time up there.

[adamgreen86]

I was at the same show, I was up in the Pit, AMAZING SHOW! I wouldn't mind a few more of the hits added in on a show though.......Glory Days or Born in the USA would be awesome additions! Bruce Rocks though!

[inaudible7melody]

wow great quality for a camcorder

[faze2b]

I was there with my girlfriend at the time. I took to Paris for her 30th birthday, two months earlier, she took me to see Bruce for my Christmas gift. I got the better deal.

[mujjuman]

lollll

[bigbossfan9293]

Hey I was just checking out shows I was at - thats my santa hat on the Big Man's Head - we were in the Pitt that night - wow haven't seen that thing in a few years - had to get a new one!

[Baggs4299]

I was at this show, too. People in the first couple of rows all had Santa hats which they later threw on stage for the band to wear. Very cool....thanks for sharing.

[faze2b]

I was there standing on the floor. It was bitter cold that night and a snow storm began after the concert. So cool.

[emmyrae1]

I was at this show 12/4/02 and I can't tell you how exciting it was to see him do this live. I was hoping he would sing this during th entire concert... You really had to be there.

[xhaleyxbabix]

Hey Jazzman. Since your name is "Jazzman", you obviously don't have a rockin' bone in your body and therefore are tone deaf as well. He is one of the greatest icons of our time and just one more thing - DON'T HATE!!

Merry Christmas!

[Jazzman1985]

Acually I do listen to rock music a lot but being a rocker isn't an apology for a professional musician not to hit one single tone in his performance.

[jzancan]

are you tone deaf?

yeah, he's got his gruff voice in the verses, but when he belts out the chorus, how can you say he's not hitting those notes nicely?

[tnopic81]

cant beat the boss pure class rock on bruce merry christmas everyone from ireland...

[kingslice75]

This may not be his best performance ever, but i echo what everyone else says, it's not always about having the nicest voice. He's probably one of the biggest rock icons ever. Here in New Jersey, even bigger than Elvis. It's about the writing and the awesome live performances. Go Bruce!

Also keep in mind that this video was probably taken by someone's camcorder so yes the sound's going to be off no matter what.

[Jazzman1985]

That's awful...this man does't hit a tone...i can't understand why Springsteen is that famous.

[xhaleyxbabix]

yeah he can your'e abiously just jealous

[ColtsNeck77]

hey! rock n´roll isn´t about hitting the right tone. it´s all about feeling. bruce understands that. im sorry you dont. merry christmas baby!

[xhaleyxbabix]

thats one of my favorite songs, merry christmas baby. i love bruce so much my dog's name is BOSS!

[faze2b]

I was at this concert. My girlfriend at the time took at a Christmas gift.  An hour after the show, a blizzard arrived. I believe this song cvaused it.

[danny3833333]

Why was he singing in this April???

[danny3833333]

Wait, this was December huh? You must be from Europe, where they switch the month and day around, lol. sorry

[Jazzman1985]

Actually you Americans does switch it around the wrong way :-P

[danny3833333]

Yes I guess we "does", lol. And I think Springsteen is famous more for his songwriting, long shows, and soulful performances (his band being much responsible for this) than anything else. People complained about Dylan's voice, too, but got beyond it. I am not a big fan either, but that is how it went.

[beibitut2]

Tnx for posting.. this song rocks

[lisabob22]

thanks for posting this. one of my alltime favorite xmas songs.

[globendk]

No he always been red dressed.

Alfs is dressed green mate.

[gencolsar]

No really RadiusRocks is right he was green but now hes red and i like that better

[RadiusRocks]

santa caluse as we know him today was created by coca cola. he was arround before that but he wore green!?!? coke just made him red and made billions out of it!

[buckingham29]

That's actually a common misconception. Sanat was wearing red back in the 18th centuray - long before coke were around

[sexylove6868]

i always loved bruce form years ago,, thanks for posting

[monniewood]

santa has nothing to do with the birth of jesus christ - one is an ancient pagan celebration the other is a christian holy day - though one could say that both are based on myths of one kind or another but let's not get into that...

[NYY2135525]

No, let's. I am a devout Christian. Metaphor is the language of Religion.  Make sure you have no problem accepting that those stories are MYTHS!

[rockn6stringz]

well, have you ever went to a book store? 

ask yourself why bibles are part of the religious FICTION section....

[Rakatung]

Actually Santa Claus was a saint from Turkey. There his name was Saint Nicholas, then it moved up through europe gradually changing his name, and "picking up" some pagan traits, until he got the name Sinter Klaas in the Netherlands. Since many from the Netherlands migrated to America, it has become a stable tradition there

[treschitta1]

the best is clarence echoing "you better be good for goodness sake" hahahahahahahahahahahah that is hilarious

[tobbenda]

i love it! he was i n oslo spektrum yesterday, andi was there. he played this song for around 10 minutes and it was FANTASTIC!!! ROCK!!  The E Street Band too!

[Texelssexy]

I like him!

[MysticMageGirl28]

He is so cool!!! I luv dis song!!

[CherryCokeCandice]

AMAZING !

[NYY2135525]

Hahahahaha! Osiris? THE ANCIENT God of Death in EGYPT? 1912! HA!

[rotag19]

Maybe Santa is Jewish. ;)

[monniewood]

Why do you say that? Springsteen isn't jewish, if it were it would end with an ein like Springstein. Or did you say this for another reason?

[mazzooie]

what a great show! anyone have any music for this - iam learning sax - thanx clarence!!A surprise for my husband graham - a long time fan! If I can learn it in time - cheers - Merry christmas everyone !! - Maria T

[jaggyends1]

Max was wearing my Santa hat..Me and my husband were front row center ...A night I'll never forget....

[ILoveLucyE68NY]

Santa Claus came to my town because I have 8th row aisle seats for March concert baby...all I need now is for Bruce to sing Marys Place...Mary

[LovenotesMusic]

ROCK ON!

[johnstarks318]
