Bruce Springsteen - Ramrod (The River Tour, Tempe 1980) 

I saw him in Chicago in the early fall of 1980. Four and half hours, 3 encores. I was 20 years old and….Maybe more tired out than him. He was all over the stage, jumping, sliding, super natural performance and effort. A night embedded in my mind forever. At 32 years old you got a mix of his earlier stuff to the evolvement predictable ahead. It was a glorious time to be there.

I love rock and roll. It’s sad that younger generations never know how our heartbeats jumped with a great performance!

What a blow of fresh air this guy was and still is. Long live the Boss

This is heaven or what? Nobody tops Bruce Springsteen & E Street Band on is peak, for me is the best live act of all the time , and maybe this will be the best visual and audio document of all the lives concerts MASTERPIECE

I was there. Stage left, about 30 feet from Clarence. Simply best rock and roll show I ever saw.

One of the best Ramrod versions there is :-)

The Greatest live performer ever as far as I am concerned

hands down..greatest live performer in rock n roll..he loves what he does!

People forget, Bruce was enigmatic in 1980. Love the River best of all.

oh my god. i just found this. i have been a big fan but this is the best rock and roll performance anywhere ever. 35 years and he is still going.

It is hard for recent fans to appreciate the whirlwind effect this man had on all who attended those early concerts especially the River Tour.He sings the same songs now with most of the E Street Band although not Clarence but he can never recreate those performances which left us wanting more as he literally swept us out of our seats to dance in the aisles until we, like him, were exhausted.Glory Days indeed !

Bruce Springsteen, The Man, The Legend, THE BOSS! Forever and always!

Springsteen is like a drug, i can't get enough of him. Look at his face...he just loves being on that stage!!

I was so blessed to see this concert in Arizona in 1980...so blessed beyond words..the best concert I have ever seen - there's nothing that compares to this awesome excellence :)

The Big Man looking sharp

wow I bought this 41 years ago because of hungry heart and cadillac ranch on the radio I was 14

Seventeen years old, front row, center stage, Lakeland Civic Center.

'You've just seen...the heart-stopping, pants-dropping, house-rocking, earth-quaking, booty-shaking, Viagra-taking, love-making LEGENDARY E STREET BAND!" I got my "Bruce Baptism" on The River Tour!!

My first Bruce concert was this tour in Oakland, CA. It immediately became my crack, and I've seen him 100+ times since. In 84 I got incredibly lucky and got pulled onstage for Dancing in the Dark. Like an Olympic gold medal winner, my life has been all downhill ever since, drowning in memories of "Glory Days" with Bruce onstage at the Sports Arena in LA. Amazing video of this great song, can't wait for my pre-ordered boxed set!!!

❤️Absolutely Fantastic performance! I can not stop listening to this song! What energy! Beautiful voice! This song makes me happy! Fantastic version! Thank you!❤️

It wouldn’t surprise me a bit if Bruce Springsteen started writing some gospel music. He has them in the palm of his hand.

One of the best songs EVER recorded!!!

SPRINGSTEEN FOREVER!!

This is the Springsteen I know and love!

Oh man ...Powerful, eternal ...That is R'n'R !!!

As a 99er who grew up with everything 2001 and beyond, I can never help but to cry laugh and what they used to look like when they were young 😂

The RIVER ALBUM OF MANY COLOURD

Now I remember why I used to love Springsteen so much. I saw him on this, The River tour - and changed my life.

The best on stage - Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band. I can hardly wait for the River Collection! We´re missing you, Bruce. Greetings from São Paulo, Brazil.

The best it gets ..Live or Studio. This song rocks

The talented boy from Jersey at the absolute height of his Live powers !!! ♪♫

the best part of all of the boss's music is he is enjoying himself and that's what we need in life someone with passion

Saw every concert at Foxboro stadium except last one...my husband had a stroke that morning..he's alive..God I miss his music live

1980-1981 Buce & The E Steet Band on there peak! There is simply no other tour beter than the River tour.

The absolute BEST ever

This is my new favorite version of Ramrod. I like the faster tempo better than when he seems to be trudging through the song.

Bruce rocked, rocks and will always ROCK!

Back when Bruce was skin and bones, and still rocking the night away. Love it!

Pure 100% rock and roll. That's all

You gotta b kidding. Sounds like heaven to me

What a remarkable display!

This man is a return to the authentic roots of Rockandroll. Este hombre es un retorno a las autenticas raíces del Rockandroll.

spectrum and largo 81.......incredible.....

love the "wait a minute" beginning to this. love everything about it really . awsomeness.

God, you electrified this man for life! But, that is His Guitar!!

Wow wow wow. Its the second best show . Bruce is God. Is positive energy. Is Love. Is the best of the best. Is pure energy. BruceSpringsteen forever.🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

Bruce Springsteen’s voice sounds great

Springsteen as it's best! I love him for playing that way! Simple, but amazing, awesome! Very good! Feel the beat with him!

NO ONE does more with a simple I - IV - V Chord progression in a Rock context than Bruce !!! ♪♫

je lis son autobiographie et du coup je comprend et j'adore merci pour cette énergie toujours renouvelée

super Bruce.

You know...I saw several shows on this tour some thirty-seven (now thirty-eight...tick-tick-tick) years ago. It was packed away amongst the buzzes and pops that routinely run through my memory. I’ve seen countless performers perform since then and was lulled into the coma inducing industry that we now call popular music. Then...this little gem pops up on my interweb device. What a flipping terrific show! The music scene was so great back then and (I’m sorry but the truth is the truth) is total and complete pile of toxic waste today! Why?!!! Frankly I’d rather listen to Yoko scream into a tomato can for a couple hours than listen to the auto-Mctuned pablum that gets a billion hits on YouScrewedMusicTube! Where did Milli Vanilli go right? Imagine a Live Aid show with nobody born before 1985! Wouldn’t that be a hootenanny! I can see the future...it’s grim baby grim. But...you can always pipe some of this kind of stuff through the dusty caverns of your eardrums. As a great Canadian philosopher once said: “If I’ve got to go down I’m gonna’ go down rockin’!” (Bryan Adams) PS: Could someone tell that Elon Musk dude to stop wasting time with flamethrowers and cars and invent a time machine that resets to 1980 every morning!

This is the way it should be...

Just bloody Great & Crazy. Bruce and Co at their wild and Rocking Best! Thanks for posting. Finest Kind as Hawkeye Pierce used to say!!

Wait a minute and a year bruce!

This guy is the BOSS! Long Live to the E-Street Band and Springsteen! The truly rock´n roll still lives!

3:44 over and over and over! :)

Best tour ever!..period

Dec 1, 1980. Rochester War Memorial. Snowed like hell. They opened the back stage doors and played Santa Claus is Coming to Town with snow blowing onto the stage. Greatest show on earth.

Awesome tour, saw it in Seattle.

Boss yesterday, Boss today, and Boss for the life

Joyous. A celebration of all that is good in life and music.
