Bruce Springsteen - Incident On 57th Street (piano)

[johnnyM809]

Love when he plays Incident on the piano..

The man is truly a gift from God with music and lyrics from Heaven.

A brilliantly prolific songwriter for nearly 40 years now, for me no-one even comes near him for sheer talent.

[jefferyakathedude]

Powerful stuff!

[roseofcimarron]

Wonderful version, it's a shame it's not available on CD: I wish I could hear it everywhere!

[CPSJSMSUUMUGA]

This was on his second album, released in 1973. He was 23. He wrote this song when 22 or 23.

How is that possible?

He's the Mozart of our age, only a much better lyricist.

I mean, there is no else operating on the same plane as this guy.

I feel lucky to be his contemporary.

[rsinnet]

@CPSJSMSUUMUGA Bob Dylan

[Anet99]

He never ceases to amaze me. I needed to hear something to soothe me soul tonight and I found solace and peace I needed to lullaby me to sleep. Didn't have a warm body to hold and rock me to sleep, but this was, well ,,, really good. My lullaby.

[warflynn]

Simply Fabulous!!! Bruuuuuuuuuuuce!!

[principedesiderio]

sei un grande bruce!!!

[tarmonhill]

[Haninge]

[thelex001]

An absolutely devastating performance. I fall to pieces...

[smallblock58]

Just found this, and it's such a relaxing version of this song. I can listen to it all night long.

[janieusa]

Bruce is a musical genius...So gifted.

[ManInMirror92]

Pazzesco....sempre che il piano e lui siano la stessa cosa...che il piano sia la voce del suo animo....UN DIO

[FOAMER103061]

[SuzzyStohelit]

Unbelievable this man swallowed pain and turned it into beauty.

[SuzzyStohelit]

and the barefoot girl left her home for the woods...

[markpag1117]

How do I find this live solo piano version to download to an ipod? Please help if you can.

[milkyway3011]

@markpag1117 search for " free youtube to mp3 converter" by dvdvideosoft ...

[naypats]

this is a great live version :)

the whole band played it at the Glasgow gig i went to on my 24th birthday (july 14th) this year.

[dukestreetking44]

you were very lucky ,my mate was there and said again they were immense

[naypats]

i was a bit disappointed because i had to watch from the very back of the floor so didn't get a good view and being outside the sound wasn't brilliant but none of which was the band's fault. we still danced right til the end, especially for American Land and Twist n Shout.

[GEC833]

Thank you! this is just beautiful!

[dukestreetking44]

pure musicall brilliance,thankyou bruce springsteen for filling my life with fantastic music

[SuzzyStohelit]

"pull 38's and kiss the girls goodnight", yeah they did..

love this song...

[blue29eyes]

Can you tell I am happy??!! Incident in Des Moines, thank you, Bruce and Happy Birthday in a few hours!!

[blue29eyes]

Still one of the greatest songs from Bruce I have seen live...goosebumps every time...love the piano and vocals...fantastic in concert...

[bullybullseye123]

man i would love to see this song live

[markpag1117]

this live version should be made into a video fot i tunes

[DRDS93]

Great song, I was fortunate enough to see him play this on the piano in Greensboro a few years back.

[nellico22]

my favorite ever springsteen's song

[musivaluc]

its all right for all of us,thanks for you Bruce ...;because of you!!

[sateliteoflove202]

"Sister prays for lost souls, and breaks down in the chapel after everyone's gone"

f'n brilliant

[musivaluc]

Les âmes ne se vendent pas chères, Johnny!

Avec des mains tendues,des gestes tendres,des chansons aussi généreuses, des marques d'attention et de fraternité,des paroles de foi et des actes d'amours, alors on peut s'élever ensemble au dessus de ses mauvaises terres.Le boss nous montre un chemin depuis quelque temps (30 ans pour moi)..., et c'est ce que je lui reconnais de plus grand.

[SuzzyStohelit]

I'll meet you there...

Peace, Suzzy

[jackreacher316]

I'll meet you tomorrow night on lovers lane.

Beautiful

[wildburroman]

Good night Its alright Jane!

Great song

[kpw11985]

Incident, Thunder, Backstreets...flip a coin...you can't go wrong. A remarkable song.

[FOAMER103061]

@kpw11985 racing in the streets

[CPSJSMSUUMUGA]

@kpw11985 So many people think his great stuff was in the 70s and maybe the 80s.

But Magic (2007) is a brilliant album. Girls are for the ages, as we age, and long Walk for Mr. Bush, and America, now.

Land of Hope and Dreams is fantastic. Ghost, IMO, is better than Nebraska. Live, Across the Border makes me cry. Tracks is full of stunners. I've heard, Back in Your Arms, live, but 59 shows and never heard, Happy.

40 years of unsurpassed excellence;  thank God, indeed.

[tg33mcke]

No doubt, one of Bruce's best songs of all time. The emotion in his voice for this live version is indescribable....

[ForYouBrucefromEddie]

every day!

thanks Bruce,

[ForYouBrucefromEddie]

Painful, scary. this is to good.

Thanks Bruce.

Amazing

[aussie8371]

this is a wonderfull song,one of the best ever thought up.of course springsteen has done this countless times in his career.

it would be great if he took us on this story further down the road now.if he did this with all his great songs from the seventies we would all be amazed again wouldn't we.

i love springsteen and he still punts out great records now,but i think his best songs all come from the 70's.A+++

[th345ux]

Wow Das treibt ein die Tränen in die Augen .-)

[wilsonjohnny2000]

i just cannot pick between the accoustic with bruce on piano or the full band incident with the esb - both superb!

[hardnessofthisworld]

Your so right, the LYRICS of his songs make him a musical genious.Bruce understands STRUGGLE,THIS IS WHAT MAKES HIM THE GREAT SONGWRITER THAT HE IS.

[skrzatu]

his lyrics are just masterpieces, each one.

[Sidewinder12345]

This rendition really gets under your skin, fantastic. Whenever I listen to it, I feel that cold shivering run down my spine!

If you think about it a bit longer, you really start to realize what a romantic and at the same time heartbreaking and sad song this is!

[ZeroBlindTerry]

HEART STOPPING..

Thanks for this Bruce and all Bruce fans for being a part of my life

[lundseboy]

favourite Bruce song!

[maakelelee89]

He really is The Boss.

[Targuzz]

DUBLIN!! 1 day! Springsteen first EU tour leg.

BRUUUUUUUCE!!

[moemar84]

amazing....going to see him thursday.friday and sunday later this month in dub.lucky me

[2008dreamon]

Hey, did you read the comments on his official homepage about the third night in Dublin? Check it out and let us know if it was really like a miracle??? God - I envy everybody who was there. But I'm gonna see him in Duesseldorf in 3 weeks!!!

[wilsonjohnny2000]

can confirm that sunday night in dublin was unbelievable! the crowd the setlist bruce and the band on fire... 3 hour show.. but i could not find fault with the thurs & fri nights either, they were amazing, bruce on fire!! role on cardiff!!!!

[2008dreamon]

you have seen him 3 days in a row? I envy you!!! I'm hoping for a show like that in Duesseldorf; already seen him last December in Mannheim, the setlist then was heavy on the "magic" side...He is amazing!!!

[wilsonjohnny2000]

seen him in belfast at christmas too,much different show still plays alot of magic but alot more oldies!he really is sounding better than ever!have to catch as many of the shows as one can afford!!

[2008dreamon]

I dream of seeing him on hometurf in New Jersey....but I look forward to Duesseldorf...you are right, if you follow the comments to the last couple of shows there's been only praise. I love his oldies - like INCIDENT, THUNDERROAD and I WANT YOU....they send chills down my spine.

[jordpaul]

[SpringsteenFinland]

cant understand how somebody can do this kind of song age 24:S Paul McCartney dont do this kind of song when he was at age 60.

[colinbks11]

a brilliant version of one of the great springsteen stories.LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT.

thanks bruchee

[JO2Stevens]

TaGlong -- if you pick up this record in its original form you will find that back in the day he did indeed have just as pure a voice as Eddie Vedder.

Have you watched their duets on here? Or better yet, check out Eddie's solo acoustic version of "No Surrender." Very well done.

[TaGlong]

Bruce is the best lyricist of our all time--since the beginning of time. His lyrics should be made into scripture and studied by all religions everywhere--they are heavy indeed. Wish he had Eddie Vedder's voice!

[TaGlong]

Makes me cry every time...

[bingthewindbong]

bruce

[Alex4uall]

He's just like one of us. Compared to Freddie, Freddie was a genius. Bruce is just a human.

[abcakl]

Special... yes. He performs quite extatically. Great spirit in this one, I like it.

[Nealthe1]

Is this from the first leg of the Rising Tour in Philly--October 2002? If so I was there. Pure magic. One ofthe great momoents of my life

[Googally]

can't get enough of this song.... my all time fav!!!

thank you

[balmakeith]

Brilliant. He is truly special.

[Arnet74]

Great song, one of his best.. Thanks for sharing.
