Gotta love this. 24 year old Bruce. I know for a fact that Drew or one of the admins is a wicked fan. They green light the Boss regularly. Thanks guys.

Good stuff!

RIP, Danny Federici.

Bruce sucks, and if she is 16 why doesn't he have a seat right over there.

I'm going to say this, and I'm going to say this once and for all. Whoever plays the farking triangle or glockenspiel in the e street band has farked up so many good rock songs that if I ever meet him or her I will farking murder them. I'm not talking a severe ass kicking like Trent Reznor is going to get, or the point and laugh that Scott Weiland is going to get, but a full on whatever's at my disposal death dealing. I swear to God, I go to listen to Born to Run and it's like that damned cowbell, all you can hear in the background is "ting! ting! ting!"

fark you triangle person, and pray to whatever you hold dear that I never find you.

1) It's a glockenspiel with a keyboard-triggered hammer system, if memory serves me correctly
2) It's played by Danny Federici
3) He's already dead
4) Go fark yourself in whatever way you deem appropriate. Your over-the-top rant over something so petty is truly pathetic.

Great clip, by the way, subby! First time I've seen footage of the band with Vinnie Lopez on drums, and the quality is better than the Hammersmith Odeon show from '75 as far as I'm concerned. Hate that I didn't see them in Houston with this line-up when I had the chance.

The good doctor was right about them ding-dang trianglists. It needed to be said. Thanks for your courage.

Also, I believe somebody substituted our regular Bruce with Ben Afflik...ak..ic...ack.

You get the idea.

 
Mr_Fabulous 2008-05-12 03:18:06 PM  
This is good stuff. It's actually a "bonus material" track on the making-of-Born-To-Run documentary DVD that comes with the 30th anniversary remaster. Well worth getting if for no other reason than the Hammersmith Odeon DVD is included too.

 
artman 2008-05-12 03:26:04 PM  
shiat. Is there any memory YouTube can't regurgitate?

I saw Springsteen in 1973. The Tower Theater I think. My sister brought me to see the opening band (Johnny's Dance Band) and we were both pretty much stunned by the Bruce performance.

Only difference was Bruce wore bell bottoms, wife beater t-shirt and a big leather pimp cap.

And thanks sis for dragging my 13 year old ass to see rock and roll history.

artman: Only difference was Bruce wore bell bottoms, wife beater t-shirt and a big leather pimp cap.

I saw him in either '73 or '74 when my college housemate (from Red Bank, NJ, so he was hip a little earlier to Bruce) took me to a show. Had a fantastic time. My then-girlfriend still describes that era as "when Bruce's chord changes were as scrawny as his arms."

Danny Federici... and he's already dead. Oh and just so you know, A very very large group of people (Bruce and E Street's fanbase) would've traded your life for Danny's. I know i would.

Excellent choice of song, although "Ramrod" is favorite as well.

I love Bruce with a passion, but I can't bring myself to go to anymore of his shows. I've been to a few where he just peaked to me and I don't think I can see it anymore.

Why do these shiat music posts keep getting bi-greenlit for video And music? I am so tired of swinging by the video tab and getting my hopes up when I see a load of new posts and it turns out half of them are a bunch of farking shiat music posts. Its the worst when its "I'll see your music snobbery with more shiat music snobbery."

Admins DONT GREENLIGHT MUSIC FOR VIDEOS UNLESS THE SINGER IS SCREWING A MONKEY OR FRIGHTENING HIS BACKROUND SINGERS OR SNORTING COKE OFF THE BACK OF A DENNYS WAITRESS WHILE RIDING DOWN THE STREET WITH DOUBLE AKs AND RUNNING OVER CHILDREN AND OLD PEOPLE WHILE SMOKING FROM A BUGS BUNNY BONG.

I made a picture to illustrate when music links should look like when posted in "Video":

The best thing that Springsteen ever gave us is Courtney Cox, and I really can't stand her, either.

So much effort for so little to say... would you like a tissue? Or perhaps a tampon?

How times have changed. In the 60s it was "You're Sixteen." In the 70s, it was "Sweet Little Sixteen." In the 80s, "She's Sexy and 17."

Now, it's "have a seat over there."

Indeed.

And girls around 14 were married to creepy old guys before then. Not saying that's the way it should be, just that it happened and society didn't collapse or anything.

At the current rate 5 years from now anyone under 20 will be "pedo" material.
