BUT THE BOSS WILL KEEP ROCKING ON I HOPE !! LISTEN AND ENJOY !! BARTON HILL BRISTOL CREW !! WEST COUNTRYS NUMBER ONE !!! CSF !! FUCK THE GAS !!!

[terryitaliano]

Simply wonderful, just from another planet!

[ManvsMachine7]

I have this consert dvd, you can really see how smoking when it's in HD. He's smoking because he's holy :)

[Nerzhina]

Fine song and what a performance!

[philipcmeyer]

This, and Neil Young on the Friday, were the best 2 live performances I've EVER witnessed. Especially The River.

I almost didn't bother getting tickets for this year, as I thought nothing would top it. Then I remembered there's nowhere else I'd rather be in June, even with shit bands.

[MissHappyAllTheTime]

F***ing amazing,! Loving him at 14 yrs old! HE is a legend! azing

[MrUnknown07]

This was one if not the most powerful moment of live music i ever had the privilege to witness. I was pretty close to front in the middle. He conquered Glastonbury and stole every heart listening to him that night, seriously. Pretty much everyone i talked to after this talked about wanting to watch Springsteen again. I will never forget this performence.

[sozzle69]

sozzle69  THE BOSS

[morgegurray]

i was there and i started the BORN IN THE USA chan no joke.

bottle of absenth and me and my mate started chanting soon enough every1 joined in such a surreal moment what a performance my favourite of the 2 years i have been lucky enough to go

[mju141]

[callinator92]

[casnsue]

SMOCKIN'

[mrklenrd]

i have the Proshot footage of 'Because The Night', which was not shown on the original BBC footage if anyones interested?

[crystaltips26]

Yes very interested! I was gutted that this wasn't shown on BBC. Are you able to put it up and post a link? Would be much appreciated.

[crystaltips26]

Yes very interested! Was gutted when I got back from Glastonbury to find this wasn't on the recording. If you could post it with a link here that would be amazing.

[harrywebb5]

it was on bbc 3 mate. i watched it. gutted for you.

[marti32]

any bruce glastonbury without 5 stars, if u find let me no>>

the boss, love im

[tizmond]

Morons should be banned from taking flags to festivals, or they should be shot upon entry.

[willfen]

why?

[langutfrud]

the best singer in the world....i love this song

[Sundrumify]

Happy Birthday, Bruce.

Thank you, for sharing. Glastonbury, is, a sacred place for many reasons. I have been there, last year, and I am looking forward, to go back, not only for concerts, more so, experiencing a wonderful spirit and community.

Blessings from Munich,

Lisa

[AntonyCox]

Top-Band, Top Song and One hell of a Guy - Thanks Bruce for making Glastonbury 2009 one of the best years that we have been to and without rain.!.

[rgregor9]

@AntonyCox Without rain? It sh@t it down on Sunday night and on the Thursday/Friday!

[chrisbb33]

He IS on fire!! :)

[TheRedScareIsAlive]

how come the Bruce Springsteen videos are the only videos from Glastonbury to not be removed from Youtube?

[platoplates]

it sucks its just a matter of time and these will go down as well

[Eeza07]

Yeah I noticed a lot of videos people had contributed from concerts were gone, I was quite surprised.

[Madflyhalf]

you can find a lot of boss' official live concerts here (i.e. Barcelona 2003), I suppose there is a deal with his major... or something like that!

or simply he doesn't care about this kind of things! XD

[EWEUK]

This was absolutly amazing being stood there right at the front - Bruce was the best performance at Glasto - He is GOD!!!

[kim20062007]

When I saw the......(what I thought was) smoke... I thought he was literally catching on fire lol.... hehehe. I thought "someone, throw water on him quuiiiick!!!!" lol

What a great camera shot though. When I saw him steamin like that, I knew it would make Glasto history!

[cnaptakmockba]

who the hell is buckley?

[Hobbitbaby]

JEFF BUCKLEY: an inspired musician. You should definitely check him out if you haven't listened to him...

[thetrinity7939]

bruce is part of the holy trinity of music

Dylan, Springsteen and Buckley

[moonbeamstars5]

amazing! luk at him sweating! the passion of the music! ha lv this song

[MrsPopeJohnPaul]

I was lucky enough to be there, I was a bit sceptical at first about whether he'd be any good, because I don't really know any of his music that well, but I can honestly say that he completely blew me away.

This year was the third time i've been to Glastonbury, my seventh festival experience and Bruce's set was one of tens of dozens that i've seen, and I can say with complete conviction that it was one of the best.

[marti32]

hes the best ever by a mile. seen him in glasgow and he was a machine non stop for 3 hrs.

[billybillyboab]

It's good that he has attracted new fans through his awesome set but Bruce himself says large audiences are transient by nature. I went to Hampden to see him for the 2nd time and I was dismayed by the amount of yahs in the crowd, they were not Bruce fans, they were just there because he earned rave reviews for Glastonbury. Alot of mainstream British magazines./radio stations announced that Bruce was 'back ' after Glasto but for real fans, he is the greatest live performer of his generation.

[marti32]

hampden was long sold out b4, but i agree with your last line!

[billybillyboab]

Really? Tickets were still available on Ticketmaster 14 hours before but I could be wrong! That's just my opinion bud.

[marti32]

they must have released more or were seating, as i had standin but couldnt make it.They sold face value on e bay. Wouldnt profit off Bruce's back. Went Glasgow , amasin

[billybillyboab]

That's good, so many people just buy his tickets to charge triple the price on Ebay, there was a big scandal about it last spring in Belfast.

[scrivster]

That's not such a bad thing. The idea behind touring an album is to put yourself out there for a new audience. In my opinion it is a good thing to have "yahs" there. Even "yahs" should have a bit of Bruce in their life :)

[billybillyboab]

'yahs' just latch onto anything that is fresh and new and 'hip' as Bruce supposedily has become after Glastonbury. True fans, and I see myself as a true fan, despair at people jumping on the bandwagon. It makes it hardier to get tickets when people just go because it happens to be fashionable to do so. Bruce has said that himself in his book, 'Songs', the chapter on Tunnel Of Love is very intersting on his realtionship with mass audiences. That's just my opinion though.

[CharlieSmigz]

I never knew what live music was all about until I saw Springsteen at Glasto.

The guy is absolutely unbelievable!

How can I look like that when I'm 60?!

[MrUnknown07]

i was there, in the middle and i could see the steam comming from him. This performence was easily one of the high point of my life. the emotion was strong. Iv seen alot of artists and bands, and this was played out to perfection. He was the talk of Glasto for the rest of Saturday night, all day sunday and monday when we left. This guy is a true legend.

[wak4life]

This guy's 60 this year and if he had his own way, Bruce would still performing on that stage right now! This was an awesome set by THE BOSS.

[lil059]

YOUR BLOODY RIGHT!!HE IS THE BOSS

[northernsummergirl]

Super!! Thanks for the share Fatima!!

[sunshinejava44]

Why is "I'm on Fire" in parenthsizes? It's a seperate song all together! Both are great. The River is one of my top 10 favorite Bruce songs (and any serious fan of Bruce's knows that that's saying something, sense he has, like, a hundred amazing songs to his credit!)

What a great performance! and he's looking so good for his age! Like, wow, as hot as ever (literally!)

[ElenaRN1]

I think they put "I'm on Fire" in parenthesis as a play on words...because in this video Springsteen actually does look like he's on fire.

[sunshinejava44]

Aaaah, you're probably right. I didn't think of that! Thanks :)

[scottisacunt]

think he/she was referin to the steam

[LMSbeauty]

this is my favourite song - everrr although I preffered the live version that was on the live cd 75-85. I just loooove it. he is one of my favourite artists too i watched this on tv. shame that they didn't show the full 2 1/2 hrs (roughly 2 1/2) that it went on for

[iainskihayski]

Saw him at Hampden. Fucking mesmerising. My mate started talking to me half-way through this song, I basically told him to shut the fuck up. The Boss is a star. You can see how much he loves performing for you, me and everybody. He's my new closest thing to God. And he's built like a tank! I wouldn't mess.

[MeatloafTribute1]

I love this guy , a true gentleman in every sense of the word, i cover dancing in the dark and born to run, in my meat loaf tribute show see my channel video 5

[ThePetersturgeon]

the druids enjoyed the "river" also thats where the dead were floated off to following the "henge " ceremony

and the "mist" was with bruce this night also .peter

[LCMAB]

Almost 60? No fucken way! Long may he be Born to Run! Legend. Boss. BRUCE!

[LCMAB]

Almost 60? No fucken way! Long may he be Born to Run! Legend. Boss. BRUCE!

[kevinbilliondd]

RDS dublin Saturday lashing rain and grey skies for four hours two hours into the gig Bruce starts playing Waiting on a sunny day half way through he points to the back off the stage and theres a tiny bit of blue just creeping in at the corner of the stadium and theres a fucking rainbow behind the stage!

Fucking Magic!!!!!!!

[derekswan144]

Was there dude, too close to the stage to see the rainbow tho! Was ringing wet when it finished tho I didn't give a fuck!!!:-)

[thejarlis]

This man is the biggest inspiration in life in almost every aspects of life. thanks!

[fatimagranico]

no words...only...BRUCE FOREVER

[worrioz]

never heard the boss b4 glasto now im a fan, his music is just imense, best act of all time by far.

[mistermarkieboy]

well said :)

[nilrem2]

@worrioz

I was worried people at Glastonbury wouldn't get Bruce, I don't know why I ever doubted, he is the Boss after all! :D

[kankudai123]

I saw him in Holland and now I'm going to see him in Dublin. It's the 1st time I'm taking a plane to go to a concert. You wouldn't believe the crazy stuff I'm doing to be part of this. I could loose my job over it.. But I am so looking forward to this!

[misterravingmad]

Magic! As usual he NEVER disappoints.

[francislally]

goin for the first time to see him  sunday in the RDS Dublin, cant wait!

[HammersmithOdeon75BS]

I've cued outside arenas for up to seven days before the concerts just to see this man. And i don't regret a second.

[kebea41]

Lol I went after 10 mins of watching Bruce he is not my thing but Bruce streaming was the talk of Glastonbury ,,,

Funny lol Great Glasto this year folks yAAAAAAAAA WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR LOL

[infeted14]

you need your head testing!

[kebea41]

Why because i do not like Bruce you need to learn how to cope with criticism there is plenty of it and not everyone likes Bruce and oh i see plenty of fans have given me the thumbs down well i guess that's the way it is. Each to their own.

[infeted14]

not really i couldnt give a fuck what you think, if you dont like it, dont fucking comment on it, pretty much shows you dont have any musical taste though! bet your a fan of the kooks, franz ferdinand and bollocks like that

[kebea41]

Just one min here your comment of if you do not like it do not comment is a ridiculous comment to make everyone is entitled to their own opinion on a star whether it be they like him or they do not just because people like you cannot handle criticise in their life does not give you the right to tell them they cannot put their own opinion on a comment box

[infeted14]

whats the fucking point in commenting on a bruce springsteen video saying you walked off cause he was rubbish! you might as well not fucking bother

[kebea41]

You still here then!!!!!!!!!!

[infeted14]

yes cause i like the fucking artist you prick, unlike you so why reply, why not just fuck off

[kebea41]

Wooooooooo i bet Bruce loves fan like you following him good god!!!

[infeted14]

i cant be bothered any long dude, just piss off and annoy someone else or top yourself, either is a good idea

[kebea41]

Finally he goes,

Have a nice day now!!!

[JohnTaupin]

I wanna see him sooooooo bad. This is an EPIC song, so sad and emotional. You should be a Bruce fan after seeing this!!

[galwegians08]

The weathers looking bad for Saturday but nothings gonna stop me from seeing Bruce!!

[infeted14]

where did he play saturday? i saw him sunday at hyde park, was amazing, 4th time ive seen him and im only 21 ::)

[markf9572]

An awesome showman, he always delivers a great show.

[ElenaRN1]

Wow...the concert footage from Glastonbury is just stunning! Can someone please explain the significance of the flags? It was so beautiful to see them waving when filming the stage from the crowd. And I knew Bruce was smokin' hot...but this video proves it! Wish I could've been there!

[stardustbinbag]

the flags are just personal signposts to let your pals know where you are amongst 175000 people!

[infeted14]

also the banners hold song titles, as requests, springsteen now collects a few each concert to please the crowd :D

[ElenaRN1]

infeted14...I do know that Springsteen takes requests from signs and banners that people make. I've been to a few of his shows. But in Glastonbury it was FLAGS...all sorts (country flags, distict patterns), but I doubt they were used for requests since few had writing. It was the first time I had seen a concert with these high-flying flags displayed throughout...it was really a spectacular sight!

[infeted14]

think thats just to represent your country since the uk is all intergration of communities and nations (even though when they come here they dont intergrate at all), that will be why

[LMSbeauty]

yeah but it'd piss you off if you were behind and couldn't see a thing. and they kept having a shot of a fat girl on someones shoulders in an american flag top :S lol

[Charlotted17]

AMAZING.

[Sarah010790]

Cant wait to see him on Saturday :D

[galwegians08]

I'm only 14 and my dad and I are going to see him in Dublin can't wait!! A kid my age should be seeing people like the killers ect.. This will be the third time my dad has seen him and he's been listening to his music for 40 years and it's my first concert and I know more about Bruce than he does!! Hopes he plays this!!

[sivcam]

he is the boss. his songs are so beuatiful and his performances in concert are amaizing! I've never seen someone how are able to give so much energie to his music and to the audience!

[eimearmurphy]

See you next Sunday, Bruce. :)

[galwegians08]

Can't wait to see him in Dublin on saturday

[gingerelanor]

Me too! I have never been to a concert, and I don't really know Bruce apart from the Born in the USA album way back when, but I caught this Glastonbury concert on telly last week and thought it was amazing! Within two days I had tickets to Dublin - I thought I was going mad, but now I've watched this back, I'm sure I'm doing the right thing.

[lil059]

when Bruce play U know when the concert start but not when it end.. in Milan in 85 he played for an extra 45 minutes..

Have a great time...

[ElenaRN1]

You definitely did the right thing...there is no one who performs live like Springsteen. And after you see him once, you will find yourself buying up every song he ever recorded. His music is just magic...from 1973 (when I was born) til today! Have a wonderful time in Dublin!

[ashfordman09]

Ya cant wait for sat nite 2. will be my second time seenin da BOSS no one else as good

[POSTIEGIRL]

I was worried the young uns wouldnt get bruce...thank god they did, thanks for posting this, I love it, I saw it, but great to see it again....love that man !!!

[gracekelly2484]

Such a brilliant song written about his sister and his brother in-Law and sadly makes sense again today because of the recession!

[RattlesnakeBob]

I was in the centre right there on the barrier throughout ......A really great show..........he's still got it just the same as when I first saw him over 20 years ago........

[rabbitisrich]

fucking legend. end of.

[RussellChildcare]

look at those arms! I call them "Bruceceps"

[Ellie4706]

lmao the steam was soo funny when i was watchin on saturday i couldnt stop laughing he has soo much energy it was F***kin brilliant !! Still half decent looking at his age haha :P

[b0rn2run2002]

This man is so darn HOT, he's actually on fire!!!

[jk3852]

great performance. Actually "I'm On Fire" is a completely different song off a different album, and is worth checking out on it's own. Most people have heard it though.

[NYCity99]

Such a classic band!

[smokehogg]

I agree,this man is totally amazing !

[Qpidgriffon]

Amazing performance making his festival debut.

[infeted14]

i dont know about festival matey, he's done many of them before, think its just glastonbury
