Bruce Springsteen - My Fathers House (acoustic)

By request in the comments of one of the other Christc Benefit videos, here is another one.
This time it's My fathers House done solo acoustic with a 12 string and harmonica.

Not the best video from the show and some black parts. Specially during the spoken intro.

Also from the first of the two Christic Benefit shows in LA in november 1990..

ShabbyDog, thanks so much for putting this up! The best version of this song, hands down. Any chance you have video of Darkness from the same show? That is my absolute favorite.

[ShabbyDogRCR]

@sasoler1 I just added Darkness from the same show. Enjoy.

ist the camera man drunk?

[ShabbyDogRCR]

@eldoradomns

Drunk? Hardly. He is however trying to record a concert without being noticed about 20 years ago in the age of no image stabilizers..  :P

Just got the album from my friend who is a Bruce fanatic, really emotional and stripped. Nothing like it, this is my favorite song off it. Reminds me of the Sopranos when Tony dreams. Love it regardless

@BrendanOC

The first season of The Sopranos featured at least one song from the Nebraska album, can't remember quite what it was, possibly State Trooper, so the link really isn't too far fetched.

Oh my god.  That's all I can say.

@ShabbyDogRCR yeah, it was state troopers, I remember it perfectly because I didnt know the song and went inmediately looking for it in youtube :), thanks for posting these wonderful videos

Bruce was amazing at imagery, this being the perfect example. For those who have walked up to their father's house, and gotten no answer but shadows of the past, this song resonates perfectly. He wrote the truth before we even experienced it.

[ronijallen]

I play this over and over, thank you so much for it...

[seansersmylie]

Bruce this is your greatest song from your best album.

I had done the same things as Springsteen.. I kept going back in my mind over and over trying to "fix" things with both my late wife and a sociopathic woman I was involved with after my wife's death ...for years.... and I couldn't understand why I kept doing that... Satan was using both to keep me immobilized... keeping me from moving on.. a very beautiful song about breaking free of the bondages of our past...

how the fuck can people dislike this?

[jesapizza]

Incredible how this man can chirp up the crowd, get em laughing, and then deliver a performance wrought with so much agony and pain. On stage, there are very few that can stand with this guy. Thanks for posting.

Very powerful song. A very beautiful reminder to go to my father's house and ask for atonement for my sins. Forgiveness would be at the top of my list.

[ColdOasisU2]

beautiful lyrics
