Pretty Woman - Bruce Springsteen - Munich - 2 july 09

[10995]

so this performance was not planned?

[Foxy1304]

@10995 I was at the concert too and this was not planned at all. They played it because of the sign. Especially on the second US leg of the tour they were playing all these great covers fans had requested trying to stump the band.

[andrex009]

Hey guys, who of you was at the concert?? I was and I can tell that singing the song was a absolute spontane reaction on the sign presented by one of the crowd. This is why it was not played on any other concert of the tour ...

A professional band who is in the business for more than 20 years can play any song they know from hearing in a "OK style" - it only needs to finde the right "tone" as they did in the beginning. THIS WAS ABSOLUTE REAL AND ONE OF THE BEST CONCERTS I HAVE EVER SEEN!

[elatlover]

'Eeza07' & 'butterscotchtele' : Of course he knew the lyrics. "Pretty woman" is one of his preferred sing-along songs. He was just joking !.. in order to entertain the crowd of 40,000+ at the Munich Olympic Stadium.

And..."teleprompter"...hahaha.­..that's a good one!

Now, seriously, guys, a big concert is simply a big show. One has to keep the crowd entertained, make 'em laugh sometime...and that's exactly what he did.

[butterscotchtele]

not buyin' that the band didn't rehearse this, as well as all the other "sign songs". At the very least, the lyrics are loaed in the teleprompter -- his eyes are locked on it throughout the entire tune.

[Eeza07]

@butterscotchtele

Surprised he didn't know the words to be honest.

[Eeza07]

He says, "I can't play it, sing it.

[gaumel92]

the best

[OelfredBiernot]

BROOOOOCE!

[pchappaz]

The girl in the request sign seems to be Laetitia Casta (a French actress/model)!!

[Tipsie79]

Yes it's really Laetitia Casta, it was for L'oreal advertisment

[brisaymar]

xD hasta que sale una version con el solito, gracias Dios porque existe Bruce

[borntorun1987]

Thank you for uploading! This is great! So much fun! : )

[arnie72]

Awesome!!!

But I wonder how the backstage-guys got "the words up here" so quick. Ok, of course they have all the Springsteen-Sonng-Lyrics, but how was it possible to get these lyrics so quick?

[Shotguneddie]

Google

[bloggerplay]

There is back stage very hard work!!! they get not only the lyrics, but all the KEYS too... then thay have to convert all the song to the right key for Bruce's voice, while Bruce speaks and jokes with the people so quick as they can!!! ... THEY ARE JUST AMAZING!

[Eeza07]

I'd say he'd have known the words.

[tobiezguba]

he is a great man

[MariaSpringsteen]

[hdc4890]

Wow, amazing! See how the band is unique and musically ONE, even when they play songs that are not in their repertoire!

"It's from Belgium.. We know what they like!" Hahaha, love you Bruce! Greetings from.. well.. Belgium.

[KleWdSide]

3:22.. it makes me wonder if the crew was making fun of that lady by focusing on her. Pretty Woman, she is not! lol

[allenshepard]

Roy ORBISON would be proud

[guy1086]

I WAS THERE

BUT VIENNA WAS MUCH BETTER

[MJ2327]

both great shows....i think in munich the atmosphere was much better

[ScotsLyon]

Maybe not but it still sounded good to me

[carlox1]

not his best performance

[jzancan]

not only is it amazing that somebody can just hum out a song and figure out how to play it, but it is even more amazing how a whole group of people can do it collectively and still sound fantastic.

[90265SE14]

Happy belated B-day to Roy Bittan. Hey, this is sweet!!! Thx!

[AaronPearceJr]

this is brilliant. Vintage Bruce

[Paddestoelification]

amazing! that concert was the best thing I ever saw :D

[DJHarryDoyle]

How many Cameras did they use? Cut is too good. Must have been a couple of guys......

This is not an amateur video........

[cillyiris]

It's from the big screen. "They" made the cuts

[KleWdSide]

It's just focusing on the screens.

THE BOSS

THE BEST

[Vitojausovec]

I was there aaaaaaaaaaaamaziiiiiiing!!!

[mcgurkryans]

This absolutely proves that sign-picking is spontaneous... the reaction on Bruce's face before and after shows that. What pros!

[bugattibowler]

I was reading this on backstreets.  This looks like SO MUCH FUN!

[rosenkreuzlaval]

Saw it yesterday in Munich, it was so much fun.....:-)

[jensenhans]

Amazingly brilliant!!!!!

[2591loz]

What fun that was!!

[dbarn671]

fun

[CallumJStewart]

That sign was HUGE! It's so funny how the Boss seems happier than the crowd at the end of this one.

[Sebb81]

yeah that was great :)

[JusRam1]

The Boss singing Orbison, yeah!

[blazeandnoise]

Brilliant!
