Bruce Springsteen - Dancing In the Dark (from Born In The U.S.A. Live: London 2013) 

I was in line for 7 hours while 8 months pregnant to get tickets to see Bruce. In ‘88. It began to rain and everyone was standing outside ( me sitting in a lawn chair), when they told everyone to come back tomorrow. They had a big box and asked you to draw a number from the box. That number signified where we were to be in line the next day. I was very happy as it put me much closer to the front of the line than where I was. I bought a black top and put big white lettering on it that said, “This baby is dancing in the dark” and wore it to the concert. People guided me up to the front where I was dancing with my big pregnant belly. Clarence Clemons was playing sax as he saw me. He pointed me out to Bruce. Bruce was very pleased and began to serenade me dancing back and forth while I was. Best concert moment for me ever!!

Only an honorable good man respectfully brings his mother on stage❤

In the 80´s, he was dancing with the most beautiful girls of the first row. Decades later, nowerdays, he dances with his mother and his youngest sister. What a gentleman, he aged like a fine wine. That´s how you do it, guys!

Rest in peace to Adele Springsteen. You raised a beautiful son and it was lovely to see you dance.

I'm 55 years old, whining like a baby when Bruce inviting mom for a dance in the dark. Mrs. Springsteen: thank you so much for bringing that man to the world.

When the crowd is cheering when his mom comes to the stage...That's a proud moment for human kind. There's a lot of love to give as well in this world.

This was the first video I came to after hearing the news of Adele Springsteen’s passing. This performance is such a beautiful moment between a mother and son. RIP Mrs. Springsteen 🙏🏻

Came here as soon as I heard the news of Adele Springsteen's passing. I always thought Bruce was about my Dad, turned out he was all about my Mum. RIP

How can you not get emotional when you see this video, not only it is an ICONIC song, but when you see his kindness to his mother, his love and the way he treats her, and later to his baby sister, you do remember that family is the foundation of every good human being! Then you add the amazing talent this man has and the result is just superb!!

A bloke, his mum, his baby sister, the son of his best mate and thousands of people. Does life get better ? It is wonderful! And the song is beautiful. Never forget that Bruce is one of the greatest songwriters in history.

What an absolute blessing, to do this with your mother, in front of such adoring fans.

So Sorry to hear your mom died. Losing our mothers is hard. This is my favorite video of her with you.

Bruce Springsteen was not in my favorites when I was in the middle of my life, being a young mother. Now I am 85 and I am hooked. Every evening I listen to the dancing in the dark, the rhythm of it is outstanding. When he was just getting stardom with his first edition, it makes me young again to listen to it,,,,now I am listen to the later version. It shows his energetic face and all his memories of stardom printed into it.I must be crazy, but I still love the very first version. It makes me think I am a teenager again. Thank You, Sir...!!!!!! I just had a hip replacement surgery and I recovered quickly, because I was dancinf in the dark holding on to my dinner table.Your music fan Karin .

Is that his mother? This is the sweetest thing I've ever seen

I am the driver of a 40-ton truck, when I hear this song we fly through the air... greetings from Poland

I just love this man. He gets better looking with age and his voice is still amazing. I would love to see him in concert. I literally started crying when I saw him bring his mama on stage with him. Such a proud moment for Bruce. I hate to hear of her passing. Losing our mama’s is the worst heartbreak there is.❤️💔

As a drummer for 53 years, Max Wienberg is the most solid pocket drummers I've ever seen. Tight and just loud enough.

Best MOM ever. Thanks for buying your kid the guitar!!!

This song gave me my 15 minutes ( and much more ) of fame...in 1985 i attended a week long residential event hosted by the Prince's Trust, geared towards helping young people choose their career path...on the last day the then Prince Charles attended and a disco was set up in his honour...now I wanted to give my mum a surprise and asked the cameramen filming the event how I could get on TV...They said ask him( Prince Charles) to dance...The dj put this my favourite song at the time on and I thought to myself it's now or never, so I did ask him to dance and he did dance with me to this very song....my mum certainly got a surprise when she put the national news on and when she saw my photo of the occasion on the front page of The Times the next morning!...Thank you Bruce and King Charles for giving me my moment in the spotlight and my very unique claim to fame...✨️...Rest in peace Adele...🙏...we love you Bruce...💜

Its incredible to think this man is in his seventies now and still selling out stadiums all over the world and still sounding as good as he did 40 years ago. Just incredible

I can't even imagine how proud this woman is I mean, seeing how the boy you took care of became loved by thousands of people... and on top of that he stills acknowledge s what you did for him when you are over 90 y/o You must have done something right besides buying that guitar Mrs S My respects

Seeing Bruce dancing with his Mom always brings tears to my eyes. It's so sweet and you can feel how much they love each other. She bought him his first guitar at a pawn shop.

How beautiful is Bruce dancing with his mother!! Exciting 💖

I guess that doesn't matter how much he got paid for the show that moment dancing with his Mom was priceless. Thanks for the music and the memories!!!❤❤

Tears fall uncontrollably when Bruce brings his mom out to center stage, especially those whose moms aren't with us anymore. I'm one of them.

Damn you Bruce .. I´ve seen this video 100 times and I always cry when you get mom out....... greetings from Colombia

This performance is the best thing I’ve seen on RU-vid in the past 20 years.

WE STILL ENJOY THIS AFTER SO MANY YEARSSSSSSS GEEEEEZZZZ AND WE ARE IN OUR 60s

This is everything. Pure joy and love, and you just get the feeling that everyone on that stage are good people. I love how Steve suggests to Bruce to bring his sister on to play some guitar, and Bruce's face: "Oh, yeah, I can do that!". This is everything that's right in the world.

the greatest performer of our time. Never have I seen someone put more heart, soul, love, inspiration, and character into each and every performance. Show after show, city after city, nobody can make you feel the way Bruce does. How blessed are we to have him in our world?

Its no surprise that his mom made it to 98. She's 88 here and dancing better than I could at 60 years younger. Amazing RIP

The way Bruces goes to his mom and move his hand is something so pure and lovely. I am living in another city alone and this brings tears to my eyes because it makes me appreciate my mom. I miss her but I can’t wait to see her again. This performance is just magical. God’s love is present there.

This is the most heart touching performance by Bruce. What a man , what a singer and what a son & brother :) Love from Pakistan !!

Definitely dancing with his mother showed us that no matter how much fame an artist may have he is still a human being who shows affection and gratitude in this case to his mother and then to top it off dancing with his sister highlighting the family union that is currently being lost by this decadent system .... Great Bruce ! as you can tell you are generation 80s

Lieber Bruce, seit 40 Jahren höre ich deine Musik.Dieser Auftritt treibt mir die Tränen in die Augen, wie du deine Mutter liebevoll auf die Bühne holst! Ich kenne keinen anderen Künstler, der so charaktervoll ist! Du bist mit einer Gage nicht zu bezahlen. Deine Person und Musik sind soviel mehr Wert!!! Ich bin sehr froh, dass es dich gibt! Beste Wünsche und Grüße!❤

Love you Bruce. Mommy is in heaven now😢 watching over you with Jesus.

Omg - Mama Springsteen raised 3 musicians - Bruce and his two sisters. As a mother she is a legend.

If that don't put a smile on your face you can't have a heart

I cry every time I saw this video, it’s so beautiful

what a tune

this give me a smile and a tear of love in this COVID-19 . God Bless Everybody

Danced with his mama and rocked it with a guitar with his baby sis while performing infront of thousands of people.... I loved it ! Mad respect..🤘🏻❤️

Lost my Mom 7 years ago....this is such an heartwarming and classy demonstration of respect and love by Bruce to his family. Thanks for the memories.

Rest in peace Mrs. Springsteen.

I literally cried when he took the mom out. That was awesome

There’s the reason why Bruce is just the greatest!

Brings tears to my eyes, every time I see Bruce without the late Big man Clarence Clemons on Saxophone. RIP big fellow!Junior does a darn good job though.

Couldn't stop the tears. A true artist with the greatest heart. Still moves me

This is one of the most epic live performances of all time.

That's so Awesome having his Mother on stage! Rock on Bruce!

This man will always be the king.

My beloved mother had Parkinson's, she passed away a month ago! Springsteen gave her good times with his songs, moments that enchanted her. She- my mother, found out about her mother Adele's departure and tears 😢😢😢😢

1985 summer Los Angeles. 5 nights, went to all the shows. Now at the age 53, I feel like a teenager again. Thanks 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

The best part is when you dance with your mom. She looks so happy, her face is glowing. She must be so proud of you. Great son!

Rest in peace dear mum of Bruce Springsteen. ❤❤❤

My heartfelt condolences on the death of your dear mother, dear Bruce! be strong because she will always stay with you! Best Wishes from Germany❤

The best 7 minutes and 41 seconds today ;)

IN SPITE OF THE YEARS HE STILL HAS THE SAME FEELING AND EMOTION THAN WHEN HE WAS YOUNG. EXCELLENT SONG BRUCE.

This is the best video ever

One of my favourite videos which always makes me smile, made more poignant with the passing of Bruce's dear mother Adele. RIP, may she always be dancing.

The crowds reaction is just a blow away....the crowd appreciates a sons love for his mother and the obvious love Bruce has for his “little sis”....Proud to be from New Jersey!!! Rock On!!! Happy Birthday Bruce....we’re both 71....hope you have another 71 in you....

I can't hold back my tears seeing Bruce dances with his mom.

I like the moment Steven Van Zandt telling Bruce to bring Pamela Springsteen on stage 6:06

Thank you very much for this moment that always puts a smile on my face....Rip Mrs. Springsteen

What a guy! He knows how to entertain a crowd for sure! That was a classy move on his part to bring his mom on stage to dance with, that was so cool! Bruce has is own style and he never disapoints his fans thats for sure! Rock On Bruce! 😎👍

Bruce S. you can see on his face and his gestures that he is a good man, he looks like my older brother, I lost him on 12/10/1994.

Rest in peace Mrs Springsteen….you started a fire without a spark

Never get tired of watching this xx

It means so much, December 2019, to see him embrace his mama and sis. This why we love Da Boss.

How beautiful, dancing with his mother. Just wow!!!

Love this Bruce Springteen, * Even If We're Just Dancing In The Dark *.. tuned in from Liverpool UK 🇬🇧

RIP Mrs springsteen

There's a reason this guy is bigger than anyone else.

Dancing in the Dark has never been one of my favourite Springsteen tracks. I think he has done vastly better songs over the years in basically every way. But this performance never fails to make me smile. The energy, the crowd, the sense of companionship between everyone on that stage. It's just perfect.

Una vida me ha pasado y sigo emocionando me al escuchar esta melodía ❤❤❤

Memorable, impresionante concierto!!!

This just might be my favorite version of this song, just because it's with his mom, Adele. Love you Bruce!!

honestly can't imagine what the atmosphere felt like here, wish I could've seen this live. Truly magical stuff

my first LP ..the BOSS !!!! from Austria

Bruce really is in my humble opinion the best to ever do it. The songs, the showmanship, everything. And even as he gets older, doesn’t show as many signs of stopping as most of his peers. We are truly lucky to have Bruce!

God bless you a million times over. What a beautiful son to a beautiful mother. We love you BOSS! Love from Sri Lanka.

I start smiling uncontrollably the second i hear that intro, what a performance

This makes me very emotional rest in peace Adele Springsteen

Wow, it doesn't get any better than that to have your mom at work with you and show her the love and appreciation in front of all his fans. Awesome, Bruce.

one of the luckiest moms ever... seeing her boy become bigger then life

THEY'VE UPLOADED THIS FINALLY!!!! MY FAVORITE "DANCING IN THE DARK" PERFORMANCE!!!!

1:26 Bruce Springsteen min stora idol skriver hits på löpande band aldrig blir man besviken underbar artist😂

So sorry for your lost...So sorry ...😔

This is what life is about don't want to explain what "this" means, but I hope you can feel it too

Omg the way he brought his mother out 😭

Happy or sad I come to this video every time and beam with joy with a massive smile

I am not a Springsteen fan, but I cried a lot
