  • Great performance of this classic the best one I have ever seen, the boss will always be the boss but he seems to be in his prime here.

  • this is much better like this

  • Ahhhhh........perfect.

    

  • This is his soul.

  • Best version of the best song ever!

  • The Boss not a soul better

  • There are no words to do justice to this.

  • Wow! What else can you say about this song. I just feel it, and that's just awesome.

  • i'm so glad i am not the only one that noticed this was blocked before and is now back up.

    i am so happy :)

    favorite version of this song. my inspiration to go to college, to move out of my small town, and to keep believing that some day i'm going to get where i want to be and walk in the sun.

  • This song makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Bruce you are a legend.

  • Great to have this video back!

  • sometimes I feel I have to listen Born to Run. I just feel it. And it feels good. Really good. Clone this legend!

  • I swear this was blocked before, but thank god it is back. This is my absolute favourite song, and my favourite version and I am so in love with it right now! LOve you Bruce!xxxxxx

  • @95DallasCowgirl : Exactly this has been published on cd also, a 1988 EP, under the name "Chimes of Freedom", a 4 track special cd. The quality is of course much better than here. It is my all time fav of all versions and tracks. If you are lucky maybe it is on ebay or so. Cheers, R.

  • WE allknow he can do that to youy

  • Put this in a capsule and send it out into deep space. I want this to represent the human race at this brief moment in time.

  • Finally! This video was blocked in Ireland for some reason.

  • @xalancampbellx ...I think it was blocked all over, as there are no comments from your comment 2 weeks ago, until a year ago, and I do remember it attracting many comments, as it's a great version.

  • love it <3

  • Oh. My. God. Never seen this before. That man is truly amazing! I love him so much!

  • A beautiful hopeful song. One of the best ever written. And it must be heard at least once every summer.

  • <3 TRULY AMAZING <3

  • My favourite version of this song by far, the way he can change up his songs like this is amazing!

  • Love this song it is perfect !!!!!!

  • <3 <3 <3 Love You

  • great song, great lyrics, bruce is the man

  • Doesn't nearly have the driving force of the e-street band, but it's still as beautiful as ever :)

  • i am falling in love to this song. gives me the chills. this is what we call music man!

  • God.

  • epic how he can get an entire stadium full of pumped up fans so quiet that you could hear a mouse sneeze.

  • I love the acoustic version of this song!! Its way better!!

  • This maybe sound a little bit pretentious but this song inspired me alot to just take the chance and "live on the wire". One of the greatest songs of all time. I recomend you all to just take the chance and break through boring life someday and just drive to an unknown destination !

  • Last year i took my graduation, but after that i got employed and kind of overwhelmed by the adult life . The financial crisis made it kind of impossible to find a new job for an inexperienced 19 yeard old in Sweden. After 8 months of unemployment i just got sick and tired and wanted to "break out". So i bought a cheap car, drove to Norway and found a job in a warehouse. Now i have money to travel the world and see the things i have allways wanted to see.

  • I hope my future husband/boyfriend has a voice like his.

    Imagine having a guy sing like this to you <3

    God I love Springsteen, it's insane.

  • @goawaywithmex You do really aim high... Mind to look for someone that, at least, feel as much as Bruce does everytime he sings... Good luck, though!

  • the best song ever made!!!!!!!

  • Probably the best live acoustic track I have ever listened to. Truly amazing. An absolute legend.

  • shame you cut the speach at the beginning...its breath taking...bruce all the way....

  • Best video i have ever seen thanks

  • If Love is such a Power how is it our lives are continually compromised by make-shift constipated TV?  Whoa Oh Oh O Ohea! Together we can get through the madness...

  • the original cant even match up with the amount of emotion in this one, i love this version. ♥

  • THE BOSS!! I LOVE YOU MAN! Thanks for brightening up my youth

  • if when i die i find out Bruce Springsteen is god, il utter nothing but "i do believe"

  • @MrUnknown07 If when i die and find out bruce is in hell, I'm gonna go there too.

  • questo è mito...epica......grazie fratello

  • Simply amazing.

  • This version makes me think of Artie Lange

  • @rlambert15 I'm sure Artie is listening to alot of Bruce to get him through.

  • In my opinion, this acoustic version is even better than "the normal" version of this song, amazing ;> Boss rules

  • bruce jesi liza sta na racun ove pisme ahhaha ja mislim da jesi hahaha

  • great song, Bruce is the best.....

  • It just doesn't get any better..

  • The Rising from the VH1 Storytellers DVD is his best work in my opinion. The Song and performance are just awsome.

  • mansions of glory in suicide machines...

  • This is the only boss I listen to...

  • This is the only boss I listen to...

  • I'm just a scared and lonely rider

    but I gotta know how it feels

    I wanna know if love is wild

    I wanna know if love is REAL~

  • Beatuifuuuul, my man.

    Keep on.

    Love for ever,

    L.

  • ...A Run Away American Dream...

    This Run Away American Dream

  • that was about the greatest version...I haven't seen this in ages

    the word "fantastic" simply doesn't do this justice!

    thanks for posting.

  • This is an unbelivable version of a classic. There is ONLY ONE BOSS. THE BEST EVER.

  • @JustinmacD like a boss adam sandberg

  • @JustinmacD  never really liked this song but this version is amazing

  • Darkness on the Edge of Town is his best... This is really good, though..

  • his best and thats sayin something

  • Comment removed

  • @ryandmurph G C and D for the most part. Mixed in a little Am and F during the bridge. Pretty straightforward once you know those chords.

  • the best period

  • Big Springsteen fan, but the only thing I don't like is how his speech become feigned - i.e., he developed the twangy-er accent over the years.

  • best acoustic song he ever did. bruce is the essential rock artist and bon to run is the essential rock song. Life changing in every way for the better.

  • knows, that's the best word...

  • no they call him "the Boss", you are a dumbass

  • fell for what? That you have no idea what you're talking about? Ya I guess you got me then.

    lol THE KING =ELVIS

  • No offence meant - be safe.

  • you could have tripped anyone in the world with that joke, fuckhead.

  • greatest artist ever. his music has gotten me through so many low points in my life

  • @metalhead4193 it's soo true my friend, I couldn't said it better myself! Bruce <3

  • Awesome! There ain't no better than the boss!

  • if this doesn't inspire, I don't know what would. Thanks Bruce!

  • I am not going to say that Springsteen is a "musician;s musician", but I will say he is versatile, as it shows in this vid, where he takes a rock-and-roll song and turns it into a folksong and still gives it meaning. I personally believe Bruce loves all forms of music... Rock and roll was just his main outlet.

  • Just watched Bruce sing "We shall overcome"on the Haiti fundraiser,very cool.

  • It would be oh so nice if I were able to locate a download for this one, since it's spoiled me now and the original version no longer sounds half as good... if any of you bros and/or hoes can help, I'd be eternally grateful.

  • You can download every youtube video.

    Just google "free youtube download" an install the software. Usually this is in mp4 format then, so you will need an additional mp4 --> mp3 converter.

    Have fun!

  • Hey, thanks for that, buuut... I kind of did know that, I just find that the audio quality tends to be a lot worse in tracks I got from Youtube in comparison to the rest of my music library, so I was hoping for an alternative to that. But yeah, I s'pose that'll have to do, thank you anyway for replying!

  • Oh. I dont know an alternative unfortunately.

    Bye

  • it's available on itunes.

  • @woody furball-- You should be shot in the head execution style for saying that!! Bruce is GOD-LIKE and so is this song!!!!!

  • this is amazing

  • The Boss can do no wrong. Only he can take the legendary Born to Run and re-work it without doing it a disservice.

  • U2 and Springsteen are the ones for me anyway.

  • amazing, there is none better

  • Wow, maybe the best acoustic version if this song.

  • There's lots of fantastic music out there, and amazing artists and songwriters aswell... I've been searching the world for the BEST for a long time, but I always happen to come back to this man.

    Bruce, you're the ultimate artist. I wish I could have told you how much your work means to me...

    Bruce, you changed my life. I'll always carry you and your music in with me in my heart.

    Thank you for the life you gave me...

  • I agree,youtube offers so much great stuff that would've cost thousands of dollars and countless hours to track down,Since I discovered yt I spend several hours a week enjoying music, 90percent of the time it's Bruce.

  • Yes, sure he is. It's just that he means ALOT to me...

  • wow! youre very passionate, but what about the beatles? :)

  • WELL WENDY LET ME IN I WANNA BE YOUR FRIEND

    I WANNA GUARD YOUR DREAMS AND VISIONS

    oh that line rings through my mind non stop

  • I wanna die with you baby on the street tonight in an everlasting kiss, because I love you with all the madness in my soul and

    someday girl I don't know when we'll get to that place we really wanna go.

    It has to be this way. It must be this way.

    Grande Bruce!

  • Wouldn't it be cool to be sitting at a campfire with Bruce and his guitar?!

  • Oh man, yes.... :)

  • oh, Jeez, I forgot to finish the comment. I was saying that I`m not sentimental at all while this song has great emotional meaning for me!

  • yeah this is good, but the original version is so much better.

  • the guitar chords are in the key of A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

  • Does anyone know the chord combinations that he uses? or any tab for it?

  • Ket of E

    E-A-B

  • Tabs exist online. There's chords for this particular performance- it's in an easier key. I can't remember where I got them from. If I find 'em again, I'll let you know.

  • Greatest version of this song!!!!!  Brings me to tears.

  • I`m a boy but honestly this makes me cry... and I`m not

  • This is why they call him The King!

  • Comment removed

  • great song but i think they call him THE BOSS

  • Yeah, reference liamh152 above, I do believe they call him The Boss... but sure, why don't we call him the King too... Elvis deserved it in his time but I believe Bruce deserves it nowadays.

  • He is know as THE BOSS!!!!

  • check out The Rising (acoustic) in my favourites..

  • This acoustic version is great. It's almost as good as his alternative/acoustic version of Thunder Road (the one with, "if you're born with nothing in your hands, baby that's your only chance.").

  • THE BOSS!!!

  • cool

  • does he do three hours a night acoustic?:P

  • I feel like this is the way the song was meant to be heard.. never got in to the "fast" original version

  • I love this song!!! Bruce is my Hero

  • fav and playlist :)

  • Wow! =')

  • What a beautiful song...love him!!

  • this performance is so fucking amazing! it's like one of the best performances i've ever seen!

  • Amazing!

  • The best live performance I'v ever seen. This version is amazing ... That's why He's The Boss

  • I agree with you!!!!

  • Best Version of Born To Run, also Best Version of any song he has. Never been the biggest fan of born to run. But this version oh my god, is on a whole nother level. Every couple months gotta come back and listen to this..Bruce is the man

  • He is my god <3

  • just amazing!!! wooow.. speechless

  • The Harmonica is a G one

    I sing this song with my tribute band in acoustic...so I know that the kay is the right one :-) and is easy the tab..
