i think its great these old clips arew available and they sound great, but there is no way the drums here are not overdubs; although very probably done by vini himself (he still plays around jersey). virtually EVERY live album you know and love from the 70s was "fixed" in some way or another, and the sync is off a bit here. not to mention, no live drums sounded that sharp in the 70s.
The Big Man died yesterday, bummer. I felt like listening to him. Rest in Peace Clarence. Thanks for the music and the memories. The E Street Band will never be the same.
I am 41 and I like this too, I was 3 when Bruce was performing this on this particular day in 1973...its timeless...my two boys(7-9) will be able to relate to this when they're 18
i'm 17, and i saw them last year at the united center in chicago, and they freakin blew my mind. I doubt i ever saw anyone as good as them in my life, and i doubt i will again in this age of incoming musicians.
saw them in January '73 @ Monmouth College. mind blowing live. saw Steel Mill and Child in various church basements and Garfield park Long branch N.J.. I think I was lucky
this is from the making of born to run "wings for wheels", right? i have that dvd along with the 30th anniversary of born to run. if you got got this off the internet, are there any other songs. The DVD only includes spirit in the night, thundercrack, and wild billy's circus story,
@blindesthobo My friends and I saw Bruce a number of times during the early and mid '70's and I can assure you that we knew exactly what we were getting into ... and it was blast!
Haha I'm 16 and I love this!! Bruce is the best artist in the world! It's a shame that more teenagers don't realize what music really is but just listen to the crap on MTV and the radio...
Me an' crazy Janey was makin' love in the dirt Singin' our birthday songs... GREAT RARE CLIP!!!!!! Thanks so much for sharing this veritable gem of rock music HISTORY
Zero, you have the best username on youtube. This video is awesome. Thank you for sharing. Where did you get such a great quality video. Are there more songs from this show available?
@MitchDouglas im 18 and the only msuic i listen to is Bob Dylan, Hendrix, SRV, Bruce Springteen, The Beatles, Marvin Gaye, Clapton etc... Lets face it music nowadays is just bleh,
1965-1976 was a special time for music. its was THE GOLDEN AGE.
@MitchDouglas we're telling our ages cos it's not usual to like these stuff having the age we have... and we treat it like it's something really precious. and it really is. i'm 22, btw.
Great stoof. The survivors haven't lost much but lots of hair.
