Bruce Springsteen - Reason to Believe (Milan 28-11-07)

[fourfortysixpak1]

Bruce somehow finds a way to find a close part of life inside ourselves that is very meaningfull. Its nice to hear a song that says its ok to have a father who spent 18 yrs in louisiana pen for bootlegging way back before i was born and did the best he could once he got out and still made a go of it. One fathers day cops came knockin, alone in that whitewashed shotgun shack my old man passed away.

[miera1029]

I understand why my mom is so in love with him ;)

[bunnyman77]

totally brilliant video :-)

[74Delboy]

sounds a bit like going up to the sprit in the sky the 1st bit anyway i think!!! good vid though!!!

[whatwouldbrianwilson]

sometimes we just forget how blessed we are to live in the age of the Bruce...

[Hendrikje00]

Some blues from Bruce, <3



[harveycat80]

Very very cool! Great job on the edit.

[thehoundz1]

A real band..diong the real thing

[AbsyntheLady]

In 1974, a very handsome, 25 year old Bruce Springsteen & the E-Street band took the stage. I was a 14 year old Redhead from Texas, right in front of him, less than 10 feet away. It was LOVE at first sight. LOL 300 shows later, all over the world,each show incredible. Some shows close to 5 hours long. Yes, we both have some years on us. Times have changed. Our World is falling down around us. Bruce has never let me down. Those that know what Bruce is about, know what I speak of. Peace~~

[cassiusclaynyc]

@AbsyntheLady Well said! I was at this show and just found the footage. Epic. Every single show.

[AbsyntheLady]

@cassiusclaynyc - Thanks for your comment. I am glad to "meet" as it were, someone who really "got" and still "gets" what Bruce and the E-Street band, as well as other Musicians that have shared the stage with him. There really was, and hopefully will be more magical moments... Peace :-)

[beatlelover111]

@AbsyntheLady

I am jealous.

[loftusboy9]

@AbsyntheLady ...wow,just loved your comment on Bruce...been a fan since 1980 & have been to all his shows in Ireland...but 300...my sweet jesus..you should be on the e-street band..awsome,well done to you..looking forward to seeing Bruce & the e-street boys,sadly minus the Big C,& Dan Federici...back in Dublin this coming July 2012...may you enjoy another 300 nights in the company of the GREATEST live performer on the planet...Slainte good lady..

hahaha...."shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

[aaptitanugupi]

wow!!!!! this is ultimate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[69barilla]

io video di bruce mi piacciono sempre

[U2rockzz]

Does annyone know wich key the harmonica is in? ive been trying to work it out. G is the one thats been working kinda good, but it feels like some parts like the one around 2 min cant be played with a G harmonica. thank you for the help.

[baseballmatt318]

@U2rockzz bruce is using a mic that changes the sound of the harmonica. so G probably is right. but it sounds different on the video because of that mic

[Nitro59]

I always love how Bruce modifies his songs when he plays live. This version of Reason to Believe is the alteration he has ever done!!!  That said, I just wish he would stay the hell out of politics because he is tarnishing his legacy!

[governmentcheese61]

@Nitro59

I never get why some of his fans feel this way; isn't it pretty obvious that his songs themselves are political and address the harsh realities that politics and the breakdown of our political system have played a large part in the working class decline that bruce sings about in so many of his songs?

[ColdRoses]

@governmentcheese61

I always make the same point when people say "he should stay the hell out of politics." It really makes me think that those people don't listen to his lyrics, or at least they don't think about them afterward. To hate "Bruce getting political" would mean you dislike about 1/3 of his catalog.

[chopsie01]

i wish he hadn't used the used the robot voice around 6:00.  a gut bucket rock song like that doesn't need the gimmick. great solo out of lofgren

[pupismile]

Great, as ever !!!!

[AbsyntheLady]

@pupismile - Indeed! A very enjoyable tune to me. Seems like I hear something new and exciting about it every time I listen to it. Peace~~

[slashtwg]

That was a stunningly incredible performance. The energy there is uplifting.

[AZNsplatform]

unreal ... one of his best live performances of a single song EVER. no better live artist out there, definitely not.

[janieusa]

Bruce is still awesome...saw him in concert last fall. His energy was phenomenal.

[Tipsie79]

Incredible performance !

[favino67]

I just stumbled on this. Reason to Believe is one of my favorite songs, still this version is quite poor. I really do not get the boogie groove, it really does not fit the song. It is a bit sad to see well respected American musicians give such a superficial version of the Blues.

[Tommy19911229]

@favino67 at least he got the balls to change his songs. He plays born in the USA regularly acoustic for instance. I don't know many artists who dare to change their most famous songs.

[favino67]

@Tommy19911229 I find that musically it does not make too much sense. I think that there are better ways to arrange it. The song is really great.

[Tommy19911229]

@favino67 okay, you have a right to your own opinion. (omg, first civilized discussion about music on youtube?)

[AbsyntheLady]

@favino67 - Stumbled upon this, did you? I looked for your version of this song on your page, which I am guessing is far superior to this "quite poor Superficial version of the Blues, that you find a bit sad to see" Perhaps "when you stumbled on this" you forgot that you had the ability to not listen to this song, or any others that you don't like. Maybe there is not an option to turn "unpleasant" things off where you live. That is sad. I sure hope you are not permanently harmed. Be well. :-)

[favino67]

I just stumbled on this. Reason to believe is one of my favorite songs, still the version is really poor. I really do not get the boogie groove, it is kind of sad to hear American musicians to give such a superficial version of the blues.

[cumbriankase]

this is one of my favourite boss songs ever .loved ever since i was 16 years old ....he just rocks ...

[sephia11]

i have reason to beleave Bruce is the BOSS

[molly23gud]

Brilliant !!!!!

[samverslegers1]

Live blies hij ons van ons sokken met deze!

[sainglain]

hard rocker :-)

[menandmice]

@Esjar207: Right. Eat pasta and drink good Italian wines and marrying a good Italian woman.

Hell yeah=D

[SuzzyStohelit]

The man is legend, BRAVO!

[bjracgm1]

AWESOME!!!! Great video

[menandmice]

Bruce Sprringsteen and Italy: Something extraordinary. He performs best at Italian soil.

Italian mentality suits him.

[Esjar207]

@menandmice Eat pasta and rest on the beach hell yeah =D

[bris2world]

Pe-pe-peop-people f-f-f-find some r-reason to b-b-belieeeve.... awesome!

[janieusa]

Phenomenal musician, performer, showman on stage.......saw BRUCE in Novemebr 09...his stamina and energy is amazing..very personable with his fans.

[sergio2be]

Again... just... THE BOSS!!!

[uxue34]

Simplemente... el mejor....

[lyablonski]

I admit to knowing nothing about cameras. BUT I do KNOW that after following Bruce's recordings and concerts since 1974, that even as a young teenager, I KNEW Bruce had what I needed and wanted and the fact that you captured the COMPLETE essence of Bruce surrendering to the crowd and letting them and everyone that sees this, that THIS is indeed an artist that leads a group of incredible musicians in what remains to be the best Music for MY money. The "little butt' shake did not hurt either. :-)

[SuzzyStohelit]

Bruce is the only musician I know that can work an audience and people actually listen!. Even I would hush for this man and that says a lot) Great A/V thanks!

[hb8800]

Superb quality - both the video and especially the music!! Great version!

[turfdude]

Great video.

[illio5556]

Grande.......................

[cappucino2001]

Probably the best version of the video and certainly a brilliant performance! :)

[davidsenoner]

ma questa DVD si puo aquistare in edicola?

[cavallettone]

SIMPLY THE BEST||||||||||||

[eunicron]

Great quality.

I would not shed a tear if Bruce lost his bullet mic, though. ;)

[justingarman]

Aw come on! I love it.. especially on the Devils & Dust tour.. I think it adds soo much.. kinda gives it that darker vibe..

[lasttodie12940000]

Wow amazing recording , i watched this video a year ago but recently came bak to this after a little dissapointing working on a dream tour which was aimed at new audiences and not the oldies :D anyway i remember this performance at the O2 arena and was defanitely a highlight along with because the night

[rachelfran]

wow -- maybe the best version of this song out there!

[Steviechain]

bruce and nils rules.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[minello20555]

video meravigliosoooooo!

versione incredibile !!!

mille grazie..

[dabluz1125]

AT 2:29 the song just explodes...

[fanfulli]

io c'ero!

[thebossbruce]

Awesome!! The Boss Rocks better then jet.

EL MAS GRANDE DE TODOS!!!! Keep on rockin´ Bruce

[ozman6969]

Can't get enough of this!! BRUCE!! MAKE A BLUES RECORD!!

[longdroughtbaby]

Great idea. Bruce with the horn section from Seeger Sessions doing the Blues.

[minello20555]

versione fantastica di questa magnifica canzone!!!

grazie !!!

[maxis4real87]

idolo

[941057]

It's perfect, thanks for uploading. Now I need to find the show on jungleland.

Thanks.

[mybrucespringsteen]

awesome, thanks for sharing this!

[longdroughtbaby]

I've been watching this video every day since I discovered it about a month ago. Bruce did Reason to Believe last month at Hershey Park in PA. (8/19/08) This brings it all back and more. Thanks. It's a great video.

[1bossfan]

Outstanding. "Reason to Believe" is a highlight of the Magic tour and this is the best video I've seen of this song. Gotta grab the entire Milan dvd if it's not too late.

[bossfan626]

The overlays were just a little overdone. I would've went with a solid 1 shot in the open and close, but its really a good piece of filming.

The performance wasn't too bad, either.

[malinef]

Excellent! Excellent performance, excellent job with the video!

[jer114]

Great work on the video, and great performance by Bruce (that part sort of goes without saying)

[claudelecomte]

Unique i love you Bruce you are the best merci monsieur Springsteen , C 'était terrible à Anvers

[maxis4real87]

tonight i'll be at the second show in Milan of this tour.....:D.....live in S. SIro!!!

[CarlyPlank18]

Super video! Perfect editing!

[kiffius]

The best!

[b0rn2run2002]

tailschao123 great editing & dubbing, don't change a thing! LOVE this version... it's my new favorite! Thanks for sharing!!!

[johnny576375]

This was great in London, bring on Manchester!

[bruce3156]

The best street poet

[FISHER71]

Fantastic footage of a brilliant night in milan

[Raks71]

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!Probably the two out standing reinterpretations which Bruce has done in the recent past is this one here and Youngstown. For all their brilliance, imagine how these albums would have sounded with the full E street treatment!

[thisismyfunnyname]

Maybe, although Springsteen's studio work rarely reaches the level of his concerts. I have wondered how it would turn out if, instead of recording in a studio, he made an album of new songs by playing them live. Springsteen could, and of course would, vary the arrangements up enough so this process would be analogous to studio experimentation.

I do agree that this is brilliant.

[GloryDays1999]

Bruce Springsteen at his very best!!!

[kbugzk]

great job on this video!! he just performed this song in st. paul MN last night and i would have to say its my favorite one he did!!!!!!

[SoulBoogieAlex]

Three layers may be a bit much, but the best fan footage I've seen thus far!

[dunkjewel]

love this version - total tour highlight. Genius!

[eeyou24]

The boss did this performance in Montreal last Sunday. I thought it was pretty awesome how he and the band performed the song. Kudos!

[audi0488]

this is AWESOME! SO CLEAR . thanks for posting

[Sergi07InstantClass]

Amazing footage, thanks for posting!!

[virioni]

I was at the concert that night..this song and the following Adam raised a cain were the best moments of the show..in italy bruce is always at his best...

[chriskonijn88]

love this version :)

[62TBirdMan]

Interesting version...not nearly as good as his original. If you think it is, you need to go back and listen to it again.

[kjam1989]

OH come on, you make it sound like the original is the ONLY version to listen to...

I think this version adds a sort of religious quality to it

[62TBirdMan]

Absolutely not. I listen to every version I can find. When I said original, I meant the older live versions (late 70s). Also when I said to back and listen to it again, I was referring to the original live versions. Live is always better then studio. I like this version, just not as much as his earier live ones. Bruce is the best!

[kjam1989]

Yeah same here. It's actually interesting to trace the history of the song through its different "incarnations" if you will... Your opinion, ur entitled to it, and I apologize for jumpin on ya like that. We cool?

[constable1982]

The song wasn't played live until 1984.

[browneyedgrlxoo]

my favorite version of this song ever.

[gary11350]

I agree Nils!!!

[jenhen74]

I keep trying explain to people how phenomenal Bruce is live - and I always bring up this song... Now I can show them all this video! Thank you!

[BruceBloodSister1]

Sexy music, sexy man, saw this at 02 and hope he plays it again in MayX

[niall29]

This is an amazing version!!

[kjam1989]

Besides the obvious religiousness of the song, I think it's a brilliant Mix!

[BruceBloodSister1]

Bruce never ceases to amaze, just when you think he's reached his best, he takes your breathe away by reaching higher.

[Sigkim]

The guitar player shredded..looks like a great time. Thanks for posting:)

Sig

[gaffage]

Nils Lofgren!!

[baslouissen]

The Boss Rocks... His concerts always are a spiritual experience!

[zeno86]

i think it's a very cool version of the song but i don't like the part when he sings into his harp microphone

[simonpozar]

ero in prima fila stronzi!è stata una delle cose più incredibili dela mia vita! thanks

[drewj12]

I liked the overlay but I might have kept it a bit shorter. I don't know though. I like how it transitions with the drummer.

[dropkicksocialdfan]

defenetly my favorite bruce song of all time

[sharong11]

Then you obviously don't know all of his older stuff. This rocks, don't get me wrong. But some of his older stuff is pure genius.

[dropkicksocialdfan]

it was kinda stupid for me to say that, my favorite changes all the time lol. i like the version off of nebraska better btw.

[aqualung727]

fantastic camera, especially the bit when mighty max pounds the drums, then zooms out to catch bruce bring in the lyrics. Parts could stand to be tilted down, though.

By the way, yes, you went way overboard on the overlay in the beginning.

[guancho8]

puro sprigsteen!!!!!!

[tidalena]

Goddelijk

[ellische]

This performance is one of the reasons why we believe. The song rocked the crowd as hard as 'Promised Land' and 'Badlands'; I was part of it in 2007 in Mannheim and Cologne, both in Germany. Thanks for great coverage!

[silviagambe]

C'ero anch'io! Grande chi ha registrato questo video!

La versione è FE NO ME NA LE!!!!

E Bruce non si smentisce mai.

Ci vediamo a San Siro...

[candobo]

Yep the overlap is not needed. I think the med-long shot provides enough atmosphere (at the beginning)

[canfor5]

Gawd...great..love the harp!!

[mrponti]

Outstanding show, outstanding Marisa video!

Bruce is the reason to believe in rock!

[apinnati]

Interessante versione

[roccomfr]

I was there

It was the most incredible moment in the show!!!!!!

grande grande grande BRUUUUUCE!!!!!!

[beaugustus]

adembenemend!

[airlbaby]

Stupenda performance del BOSS!!! IO C'ERO grande grandissimo BRUCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gaffage]

Love how the view switches when Max pounds the drums =]

Great edit, one of the best I've seen!

[aragwen]

This is Awesome, thanks so much.

Don't change a thing!!!!! BRUUUUUCE!!!

[ECvsJM41]

As far the song goes, great song. Nils does a great slide solo.

As far as the camera work goes, it would have been better if you could get more close ups on Bruce (and Nils during his solo). Also, the camera was shaking a little but at parts, Try to cut that out. You didn't do a bad job shooting though, and the sound and mixes were dead on, so good job on that.

[tailschao123]

As said in the description, I didn't film or record this. The show was in Italy, and I'm in the U.K., that would have been some *serious* optical zoom ;)

The video is from Max's DVD and Marisa's DVD, and the audio is the 'White Owl' recording.

I don't want to take any credit for their brilliant work. And it is brilliant, IMO, much closer and more steady than many other audience shot videos.

I just edited the two video sources together, and dubbed the audio.

[WhiteSean]

Thanks, nice job!

[Anna596]

Is there anyone better at re-arranging a song, changing it from a great song to another..., great song? He's has done this so skillfully with, e.g., For You, Incident on 57th Street, Thunder Road, No Surrender, and 3/4s the songs played on the Ghost of Tom Joad (1996-97) and Devils & Dust (2005) solo tours. Genius.

[secretstanne]

I have always loved this song, athough at first I completely misinterpreted it!! Now there is no mistaking the message. It was awesome live on this tour. I love the way Bruce rearranges new songs and makes them fresh. So many great songs were re-done for the Seeger Sessions and sounded great in a new context.

[emrox77]

very well done. seems like a professional shot it. bruce is the best!

[nixus69]

good work, nice editing...a bit over playfull, but very heartful in the same time...

looks pretty professional to me !!!

[radionowhere07]

i have other bruce bootleg dvds and the way you have done this makes it look kinda professionally done....great job,where can i get this???

[badlandsbruin32]

I love the video. How do I get my hands on the DVD???????

[thehoag17]

kick ass!

[gaffage]

GREAT JOB!

[johnny576375]

Looks great, went overboard on nothing.

[PiperSunnydale]

Looks real good to me, no need to worry,

absolutely love it

[glooper23]

Layered cameras works very well. Love it.

[Tunnelof]

A genius

[weirdcritter]

Nicely done tailschao. The edits between the CAMS views are well placed and it doesn't feel like there are any that are unnecessary. I think the overlaying works very well here - although perhaps if you were to use it too frequently on some of the other songs it might seem a little gimmicky. That fact that you are worried about it is a good sign and I'm sure you'll not overdo any artistic urges :-)

Looking forward to seeing the whole thing. Keep up the good/hard work!

[ACE0513]

Great video!
