Bruce Springsteen Prove it all night live 1978

[jericoacoara]

Thx for this GREAT video from Greece. What i don't understand is why you don't mention the E Street Band on the title.

Nice triangle work. I think my next guitar will have to be a Telecaster.

[Julle7Julius]

He really is...The boss!

[RubHerSoul1]

Bruce rips in this one. most people don't realize what a great lead player he is. But he's smart. He knows he's a singer songwriter first and foremost as well as a great entertainer. If only Clapton played with as much passion like everyone thinks he does.

[ctriamimgons]

@RubHerSoul1 Couldn't agree more. About both Clapton and Springsteen.

Bruce is all juice all the time on stage.

[baceace]

I didn't realise Springsteen was such a good lead player, I thought he only played rhythm?

@SecretAgentSlothman

it is happening this november!

[mrgb46]

I wonder if this performance will be included in the deluxe edition of Darkness on the Edge of Town reissue??

[BurningCastleFilms]

@mrgb46 It will

[utubemusiccritic]

This is what is called getting your money's worth.

[IMTheMagicRat]

[tzurl1]

i love bruce deep in my heart

[newtgingrich]

Possibly the greatest live performance of any song ever... Gets me every time!

[robert112157]

I believe he refers to Monroe Louisiana to Angeline Texas.. I know during that time in his life he drove thru the US just taking in the country,,

[JohnnyTRex99]

"Tonight we'll drive that dusty road from Monroe to Angeline,"

Where are these cities located?

[texaspete66]

Springsteen is not noted for his guitar playing, he never appears in polls or lists of the greatest guitar players ever.

He should after this......its explosive !!

[vanparty]

Man.....he sure can make that Fender talk.....Wooooooo!

[fanof41]

Great performance: the instrumental version of "Frederick", building to an orgasmic, musical climax into "Prove It All Night".

The 'future of rock n roll' back in the day.

:-)

[GrafficGuy]

@fanof41 'Frederick' happens to be a copy of a Springsteen riff, not the other way around.

It's breathtaking !!! WOW ... just WOW !!!

[guitylerham]

Great footage. What concert is this exactly and is there a full length video available?

[ekimseyah]

Thanks very much for posting. I saw Bruce for the first time in Seattle in Dec 1978, and this really brings back the memories. That was a crazy show-- they did two encores, including odd stuff like Pretty Flamingo. Prove it all night was one of the highlights for me. This video is obviously from the same tour. Dang, those guys look young!

[robert112157]

It was a great time to see Bruce and the boys for sure, I also seen him on that tour lots of great memories .

Glad you enjoyed!

My ex-wife HATED Bruce. A real music snob who finally went to a show with me. Afterwards, she said she STILL couldn't stand his music, but during the four-plus hours he was on stage, she could not take her eyes off him for a second, he didn't play -- he was the music, and she didn't want the show to stop. Close, but no cigar -- she's still my ex... It was an interesting opinion from someone who doesn't like his music, but was totally compelled by his performance in person.

[qinmoy]

Like him or loathe him (and I love him), you can't help but feel drawn towards that on-stage charisma.

[pigsnot555]

The best performer EVER!!!!

Just listen to the sound of that ol´ Esquire!

[vanparty]

Bruce TOTALLY OWNED the stage in his prime........nothing like it. The energy is UNMATCHED.

[oipbhakeld]

thank god there is someone out there who agrees with me. thank god for putting you on the earth

[nkkcboss]

The definition of C O O L !

[Magicbruusie]

Very good!! I love this one

[robert112157]

I love it to, I play it over and over while driving in the car.

[plofus]

people who have never seen bruce live or have never seen these amazing vids now so easily available on youtube underestimate him as a guitarist,studio versions of songs heard on the radio or on cd's don't feature what bruce,steve or nils are capable,and its not just solos but very melodic creations.

[2008dreamon]

OMG - what a version!!! They were so young, sound so pure, so raw!! I love the early years!! - Thanks a lot for sharing!!

[texaspete66]

oh my lord a legend at his best, he is really making that guitar work and then some. fantastic

[robert112157]

Dont you just love the way they started that song back then, slow drums and the Big man adding some fill then Bruce comes in with a pounding lead intro..They now do it different and it is still a great song but this is best in my book.

Thanks!

[oipbhakeld]

i totally agree dude. however, i go as far as to say that hes bad now. i went to one of his concerts and i was disappointed. sings like a country/folk singer and changes all his songs. not for me

[bruusie]

thanks a lot for posting, very good one*****
