The Promised Land Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band Live Hyde Park 2009

[wpfairbanks]

this song probably means more to me than anything else around

[joshua59771]

I have to say out of all the years of listening to music, I never get tired of The Boss and the E Street Band. There is something special about this band that sets them miles apart from any other band. You can tell that their music is real!!!!

[joshua59771]

Man this song takes me back!!!!!!  THIS is what a band looks and sounds like!!!! EPIC!!!

[silviaattila]

Grande Big Man ci mancherai <3

[montanok1952]

I"ve always said the reason I like Springsteen so much is that he sings what's in my heart I feel this way And this my song

[BigPete007]

@montanok1952 I don't think there has EVER been a singer/songwriter that has captured people's moods as often and as spot on as Bruce. Near enough every song of his each and every one of us can relate to a moment in our lives. The Boss IS THE BOSS!

[monicapresa1]

Genio EL JEFE.......!!

[pepokiss]

BLOW AWAY!!!

[IAMEPICFAIL1]

i got youtube on and im just killin' repeat button =D

[natanbeij03]

On of the numerous great songs, he's not called "The Boss" for nothing!

[GarethMTB]

This... is the Promised Land

[kettleband2010]

[TheBossfans]

One question - Who didn't like this performance?

[pakitovillanueva]

bruce springsteen the boss the heroe of america

[IAMEPICFAIL1]

@pakitovillanueva not only america the world over

[MidAgeAllisonFan]

1977 > 2012 > Bruce and the E Streeters still kick my ASS!!!!!!!

[desuTHEGAMEdesu]

only the BIGMAN can where gold nail polish.

[pkvello]

He puts on a great show. So much energy.

[JusRam1]

It's cold and dark winter now (very dark and cold here in Finland) but every time I listen to this song, it gives so much hope and I know that maybe someday I reach my own Promised Land.

[LiberTBo]

With most of the band pushing sixty — and in the case of a certain Big Man, well past it — the cross stage knee-slides and mic-stand acrobatics are a thing of the past. What remains is a level of endurance and a commitment to his craft that remains virtually unchanged since the beginning of his career. It's hard to imagine how many times he's sung "The Promised Land," but it must be hovering somewhere near a thousand. He still delivers it with the same passion he did in 1978

[TheAirohdome]

0 Dislikes.. How often do you find that on youtube?

[michele1980opel]

BRUCE! BRUCE! BRUCE! THE LEGEND



[52peter]

Proud to say I was there with my girl loving every minute, he really is the Boss.

[ViolentElement]

thats old school with a 21st century performance

[barneybeyond]

Simply the best band ever.

[Adamson11x]

@barneybeyond Yeah, The best drummer, the best guitarist, almost the best basist...But get it all together with the integrity, passion and love for music: you get the e srteet band! 2008 Helsinki Olympic Stadion: gig lasted 3 hours and 15 min. Continious small orgasms :)

[paul26862]

SPRINGSTEEN!

[katielenn]

I own this DVD and I think it might be like The Who playing at the Concert for 9/11...maybe not Springsteen at his peak but perhaps at his most powerful....before he lost Clarence...

[SRhue11]

5:15 the security even likes the music

[bestdamnalex]

I gotta say that I was never really into his music, most because I never listened to a lot of his CDs, just knew a couple of songs. Now I'm watching this concert and I'm beyond speechless. I'm partying alone in my home like fuck! Incredible man. Amazing music. Shame on me for never checking out all of his music before.

[yaniarwen]

@bestdamnalex It's never too late to discover good music.

[lionfreak71]

Great Performence-Best Song !

[platter1000]

the recordings and qualiy of picture of the concert is above and beyond, but what blows is the screnes...they are way to small for the people in the back to see.

just saying

[smolinskiboi]

this is music at its best people, appreciate it. real music is dying out, you've got to thank bruce and the e street band for keeping it alive.

[chammar85]

Love how Max lays it down at 2:07

[oliverjumelle]

@chammar85 and at 2.30. soo sad we are never going to hear that sound again. rip clarence big man clemons

[platter1000]

WOW!!! what a great performance

[samradseresht]

who's the better guitar player, nils or stevie?

[ChrisDutch]

@samradseresht I love Stevie, his attitude, his approach and his care for the field. But Nils is off the charts great. Saw him last year with my son in Cranford, Nj for a solo show and he was unreal.

[chammar85]

@samradseresht Nils without a doubt...check out his solo stuff. Stevie is the best back up man in the business hands down, but Nils has got him in the guitar department.

[mndrifter]

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FOR PRESIDENT.

[lbj31]

Fantastic song ! It's a kind of leitmotiv when I listen to this song. Me too, I want to believe in the promised land.

[zarathustraq]

Don't get me wrong, I love the song to bits but the guitar 'solo' just before the sax comes in is a bit embarrassing. Not technically, but melodically. Cheers!

[TheRedredred12345]

the big man gone to the land of hope and dreams,,,, gerard huyton,,, liverpoll fc, r.i.p bi

[brucespringsteen2008]

bieber would shit himself if he came face to face with Bruce!

[ttraynor1]

Would love to know what Clarence says to Bruce at 3;07. Music marks one's life......

[Baggs4299]

@ttraynor1

me, too!

[oliverjumelle]

Rip big man

[jonnithundahhhh]

im exhausted watching this.

[lichalito]

Q.E.P.D Big Man!!

[doriwiljt]

very sad day in music, E street will never be the same, we love you, big man, rip, xo

[pauljferrall]

This video brings tears to my eyes, especially on a day like today! You will be missed Clarence! But not forgotten as we can always listen to the beautiful music you and the Boss made.

[ElmoEl]

Bye Bye Big Man.

[marcosaucedofitz]

REST IN PEACE CLARENCE CLEMONS... REST IN PEACE BIG MAN...

[xIIJoshIIx]

No way did i just see Simon Cowell's name on a Springsteen video. Springsteen could shit more talent than that cunt could ever produce. The greatest performer to ever hit the stage doing his thing, does it get any better? Springsteen = Legend.

[onlyrock1]

I love watching this video for two reasons. This song speaks to me personally. Second? I don't mean this negatively, but I didn't know this message speaks so strongly to culture outside of North America. It makes me so happy to feel that music can bring people so universally. Oh and rock on Clarence!

[Bossfan32]

He needs to tour soon! Haven't seen him since '09. I'm going through withdrawal!!! It's not good!

[drowning4sid]

Life changing music. God bless Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.

[Elephiant]

*** HEALTH AND SAFETY WARNING***

- you may be unable to handle this epicness. its recommended to rest 15 min each number you listen from Bruce Springsteen till you can handle an huge amount of epicness.

- if you can handle this great amount of epicness make shure you enjoy it every day :D (at least 2 hours a day should do it).

- dont forget to drink, eat, and sleep cuz ya do not wanna stop listening.

- dont let people around you see al epicness at once (OVERFLOOWWW).

[starfish978]

Love me some Springsteen; he is a fantastic story teller

[OZZY4469]

[superhep44]

Never seen such a gentleman drummer like Max Weinberg, they're all so fuckin' great; all legends!!!!!

[ooguino]

Tenth Avenue freeze-out is missin' at hyde park :(

[TheJohnny990]

@ooguino damn it

[mrsthunderoad]

voglioessere io lì così vicino...hissà se questo sogno si avvererà ....

[Bossladyone2]

The battle isn't about being successful and making money. It's about keeping a loving, caring, warm heart in the face of all the adversities and circumstances in this world. Ti Amo, Bruce thank you for being there as a protector of the heart.

[sungyultaylor]

I LOVE Bruce Springsteen!!!! His music is eternal and real. Musician's today need to learn EVERYTHING from this man. His music is from the soul. Bruce FOREVER!

@bobbylatiscool flag of england?

[tonyt1203]

there's a dark cloud risin' from the desert floor , i pack my bag's and i'm headin' straight into the storm !!!!!

[bossman24763]

Cowell is a complete cock who thinks he is god. Truth is, Cowell isn't even fit to lace Bruce's boots....

[Foxy1304]

I'll never get tired of this song...

[00TheLittleBoss00]

I love this song specially the harmonica sound !!

[yusufmumtaz]

I got to get this DVD... just for this performance alone...

[MrDennyman]

Man, does it really get any better than this...the music, the performance live?! Like Obama said at the Kennedy honors..his concerts are more like a 'communion'

[RokeyRakoon]

@MrDennyman Amen!

[mkcustodio]

Bruce and the band at their best.

[ohflubby02]

this is unbeleivable!!!!!!

[marti32]

not bad for a 58 yr old, after a massive gig glastonbury night b4

[Badlandz]

@marti32 60 at the time, 61 now!!

[marti32]

@Badlandz any rumours or knowledge of a further tour

[Badlandz]

@marti32 Possibly a solo tour in late 2011 or early 2012 and hopefully a E Street Tour in 2013.

[TheJohnny990]

@marti32 He's 60 in this vid and he's 62 now

[mikeryansgt]

What is the simon cowell comment about?

[colintwix]

Simon Cowell, watch this.... and hang your head in shame....you are killing music. Be ashamed.....be very ashamed.

[stevedrums]

@colintwix It died long before Simon came along.

[Petiber]

@stevedrums music is still alive to that day... loads of great bands out there... sadly almost none of them get mainstream success

[TheJohnny990]

@Petiber True. There are so many great bands that aren't popular or only have moderate commercial succes. There's Free Energy and Titus Andronicus, who arent very succesful. The Gaslight Anthem who are big enough to play at shows like this one but not a household name, The Dropkick Murphy's (not sure of their status). And then there are the popular ones like U2 (who 4 sum reason no one my age cares about) (I'm 13) and Green Day, who are considered sell outs.

[Elys55]

@colintwix

Well said!! These jokers today couldn't carry The Boss' jock strap.

[TheJohnny990]

@colintwix Nobody should give a flying fuck about simon cowell

[76ComicFan]

@colintwix "I Love Bruce Springsteen, I think he's an absolute genius" - Simon Cowell

[adsy198]
