Bruce Springsteen's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Acceptance Speech | 1999 Induction 

Look up humble in the dictionary and you will see Bruce Springsteen. What a beautiful man with a beautiful soul.

It's wonderful how he saves Clarence for the last, even after his wife whom he loves with all his heart. It speaks miles of their friendship

A national treasure. Im a huge fan of his to begin with, but I´ve come to admire him as a musician, songwriter, and person more and more over the years.

16:42 When you see Bruce and Clarence holding hands. Those aren't band mates, they're brothers. I was heartbroken when Clarence died, not just for the all the years I pretended to play his solos by also for his family - and that includes Bruce.

What great sense of humour Bruce has hell go down in history as one of the greatest musicians and performers along with Freddie Mercury and Elvis Presley .the bosses music will last forever and shows what true friendship is with the boss and e street band

The "First Gentleman" of Rock and Roll. Mr Bruce Springsteen has paid all of his dues to be on top and when he arrives he pays his respects and honors all of those who played a part in his success. When Bruce brings the E Street Band onto the stage at the end of this clip, I was thinking that we will never see the likes of such a monolith of Rock and Roll as were standing there that night and receiving their due.

What a lovely human being Bruce is. xxx

He is an amazing talent, an honourable man a poet and man whose songs have saved my hope one thousand times over. Thank you

One of a kind.... An amazing individual

what a wonderful powerful and down to earth and loved person you are . I'm moved by your appreciation of your family , your band of brothers and your art of music. Thank you for so many years of great story making through you music. ❤

My son asked me what my favorite rock and roll group was. He knows I love Springsteen, but if I’m honest with myself, the e street band isn’t the greatest…..BUT…. Listening to their music puts me in a mood that no other music does. It can help me express and deal with all of my fluctuating emotions. I told him the e street band may not be the best band of all time, but their music touches me and so many others in a place that few, if any other artists does. Thanks Bruce.

The Boss. You made us all proud of you!

Towering musician and poet. Soul filled songs that helped me get through tough times. Bruce was my therapy and filled my heart with happiness. American master who made the world sing.

So grateful to have seen the boss live. Such a genuin and great performer. He really brings a balance of sad songs and bright. One of the reasons to why he is the pinnacle of Rock N' Roll artists. He embodies everything that Rock is supposed to be about. Love you Bruce!❤

Surprised only few comments here. He seems quite humble

A really..really.. really.. sweet and lovely man. ❤

A truly amazing and real Rock n Roll Superstar. And delighted the E Street Band recognised here and in 2014 themselves inducted into the Hall of Fame.

It was such a wonderful speech and Bruce gave. I can tell you I have been in over 30+ shells with my BFF Melissa miss you rest in peace. He was part of our lives and so was the rest of the band. We have them all in our hearts and in our families

Bless his heart...always sharing the limelight

He's the best

Bruce is America

Wow!💖

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Subtítulos por favor 😍😍😍gracias!!!

Un grand monsieur

Such a shame that the E Street Band didn't get inducted at the same time as Bruce. And when their time came, Clarence and Danny were gone.

Bruce could have been a politician...such an eloquent speaker!

Que merecido el y clarens para siempre en mi corazón

Screw You! Early 90's... the public didn't like it... Human Touch and Lucky Town saved me Bruce... saved me!!! I owe you man!!! Love Ya always!

The rock critic Bill Wyman pointed out that Bruce was inducted just by himself, whereas, say, Tom Petty, was inducted with the Heartbreakers. They are equally enmeshed with their bands. Bruce and his manager Jon Landau are big players in the R&R Hall of Fame, so I'm sure it was purely intentional.

Riding in your pink Cadillac Crushed velvet seats Riding in the back Cruising down the street Waving to the girls Feeling outta sight Spending all my money on a Saturday Night Honey I just wonder what you're doing in the back of your Pink Cadillac Pink Cadillac

Better than beautiful. But wondering about Barbra Carr... hope she is well. I thank God Bruce has these wonderful human beings that love him, and he can trust.

Why are some people booing? I don't understand this.

👑🩵

Are people Boo'ing?

Are we sure Bruce likes his bass player ?? That looked awkward onstage 😮

Like his music, but not his politics!
