Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - Something in the Night (Live at The Paramount Theatre 2009) 

Am I the only one who thinks that this is one of his best ever performances of Something in The Night? Love it

The piano and drums introduction, those lyrics ("looking for a moment when the world seems right"), the intense wailing reflecting the pain of the character in this song, the look on Bruce's face as the video fades out. For me, it's the greatest performance of one of his most underrated songs.

The power in Bruce's voice has gotten me through a lot in life.

Sometimes I don't think Bruce knows just how great He is. God Bless Bruce. He is the Boss.

One of the many reasons why “Darkness” is Bruce’s samurai record - absolute perfection....from badlands to darkness on the edge of town....

Max´ sticks are made of concrete in this song! I love this performance. The intimacy in the verse where Springsteen almost recites the lyrics accompanied only by the ominous drum beat and then delivers a primordial scream that explodes like volcanic power.

I've always wished he'd open a show with this. Stage is completely dark as Roy's piano starts. Then one light shines from behind Bruce, silhouetting him as he starts wailing. And then all of the lights burst on when the full band kicks in. That would kick every single ass in the venue.

This song is so great. Just love the piano intro. And then Bruce singing the ‘whoohoooohoohw yeah’ part! Adore!!!

Rolling Stones didn't rank this among Bruce's Top 100 songs... that list might need some editing.

Someone someonce wrote:"This are not lyrics, this is literature", I agree.

Its crazy how under rated Weinberg is..the guys tight as hell..as a metal drummer I can tell you that what he did here is way more inspriring than the monotonous sprinters in metal bands..the bass drum part where the song goes quiet and the fills at the end are pure magic and soul, never mind the intro snare roll

This whole album is unfuckwithable. Absolute genius

Well I'm riding down Kingsley Figuring I'll get a drink Well I turn the radio up loud So I don't have to think Then I take her to the floor Looking for a moment when the world Seems right And I tear into the guts Mmh, of something in the night Well you're born with nothing And better off that way Soon as you've got something they send Someone to try and take it away Well you can ride this road 'til dawn Without another human being in sight Yeah, just kids wasted on Oh, something in the night Oh, nothing is forgotten or forgiven When it's your last time around, huh Well I got stuff running 'round my head That I just can't live down When we found the things we loved They were crushed and dying in the dirt We tried to pick up the pieces And get away without getting hurt But they caught us at the state line And burned our cars in one last fight And left us running burned and blind Hmm, chasing something in the night

The band was mourning the death of Daniel Federici (keyboardist) (January 23, 1950 - April 17, 2008) Everyone dressed in black, This was in honor of him. This was his fav album. Danny was best known as the organ, and accordion player and a founding member. Proceeds from this screening are donated to the Danny Fund/Melanoma Research Alliance - a non-profit foundation devoted to advancing melanoma research and awareness set up after the 2008 passing of Danny Federici, longtime Springsteen friend and E-Street Band member.

Such an underrated song, gives me an out of body experience

If everyone on earth would take a moment of silence, join hands & sing in unison from 3:39-4:10 with the same degree of passion, I think we could shake a whole lotta' bad shit out of here, look into each others souls & see in essence we all want the same things... form a compassionate fellowship of the shared heart & rise up in unity & solidarity for peace, harmony & the power of love to reign forevermore. Guard your dreams & visions.

Growing up in Philly, we usually went to the So. Jersey shore destinations... My first time ever in Asbury Park, I was on my bike waiting for the light to change... My foot was banging and I was singing, “Riding Down Kingsley...” Never knowing that I was actually riding down Kingsley... What great memory for me!!! But the real reason I’m commenting is to say, if you work for a living, if you’re hands and clothes get dirty, Darkness On The Edge Of Town, is the greatest album ever written!!!!

I have carried this song with me. I was in combat as a kid. Came out of it somewhat broken while not knowing it. I chased something in the night for 30 years. The melodic piano chords.... the heavy drums.... the voice. I have gotten better. Not normal but better.... and it may he time to let this song go. It has been a good friend. It has been with me in the darkest periods. I no longer chase something in the night. I know it is there, I know it can't hurt me. Thanks Bruce.

This is the closest to the ablum version that I've heard. Fantastic.

One of my all time favorite songs...ever, by anyone!

Song is just not long enough, I have to play it at least 2 times when play it or I'm not satisfied.

Wow. Still got it. And such an almost unbearably moving song.

no i am not crying at this why would you suggest such a thing

This about sums it up. Your broken hearted and lost. Your running from the hurt down a dark wet highway trying to figure out where to go from here. Your only navigator is this song and you feel blessed to have it.

I'm riding down Kingsley, Figuring I'll get a drink Turn the radio up loud, So I don't have to think, I take her to the floor, Looking for a moment when the world Seems right, And I tear into the guts, Of something in the night. You're born with nothing, And better off that way, Soon as you've got something they send Someone to try and take it away, You can ride this road 'till dawn, Without another human being in sight, Just kids wasted on Something in the night. Nothing is forgotten or forgiven, When it's your last time around, I got stuff running around 'round my head That I just can't live down When we found the things we loved, They were crushed and dying in the dirt. We tried to pick up the pieces, And get away without getting hurt, But they caught us at the state line, And burned our cars in one last fight, And left us running burned and blind, Chasing something in the night.

This actually brought tears to my eyes holy shit

Finally! A 'live' album with no hooting and hollering drunks to spoil the moment. Fantastic- see the entire show.

'Chasing something in the night' such a haunting part! Such a beautiful, powerful moment before the snarling, angry climax to surely one of Bruce Springsteen's most underrated songs! One of his greatest songs!

If anyone don’t understand of love this masterpiece doesn’t know anything at all Great Great song

This and Streets of Fire (from Paramount) are almost beyond description. We all know how incredible they are live, but this is phenomenal. It as if they were told this would be their last performance. The energy and passion is palpable. In an empty room, no less. God, I hope we all get one more chance to witness this again.....

I feel like Clarence is thinking, god damn Bruce is singing the shit out of this tonight!

That "sense of emptyness" runnin through darkness...always fullfilled my life

A full spectrum song...starting off with a quiet music-box melody and building up to a thundering avalanche of desperation. But I think it should end the show...because it embodies everything Bruce is. His haunted soul is on full display here....howling at the moon.

Wow...really. What an opening and a gripping song. The sound of every instrument floods my ears. Too bad it's such a short session on this.

When I first heard this song. It made me cry. One of my favorites. 💖 and still makes me cry.😢😢😢

I played this cassette every night when I came home drunk … for reasons I could write songs on Touché ‘

I remember the first time coming across Darkness and putting the whole album in repeat over and over melodies stunningly created and each song, sounding like poem, were something I never had listened before in my opinion, Darkness has more great songs in the tracklist than any other boss' releases

One of my favourite Bruce songs. Very tough to do live - especially the part with drums and vocals only. You always think of Bruce with guitar, sax (love Clarence) and drums ( Mighty Max is awesome beyond words), but Roy on piano is just awesome and does not get enough credit!

Gotta be a top 5 Bruce song, no?

BEST SONG EVER!!!!!!!

I've got stuff running round my head that I just can't live down.....

All his works are really marvelous. His fan since 40 + years. I have no words..........

Sure the Big Man is on board.

Gotta be in top 5 best live performances of Bruce's. Don't see how he's got a voice after all these years.

Yes, one of the best

That piano.

He right has he did learn to make that guitar talk a master at his art.🎼♥️🇦🇺🎭

This song is so beautiful I listen to it everyday

The depth of soul placed in in this song, and most every song of his, pushes the meaning(s) so far into reality I can't help but to feel his words in MY reality. Almost every song of his parallels moments and times in my life and thus his music has been like a friend, one having gone through similar trials and tribulations, beautiful and energetic triumphs. For these reasons and many others, like his (their) ability to maintain integrity in a realm of which such is near to impossible, Bruce Springsteen & the E. Street Band are hands-down my favorite artists! Thank you Bruce Springsteen & The E. Street Band!

Las cosas que siento en esta canción con su poderosa letra y esa batería atrás diciendo dale Bruce .... Increíble me pone muy arriba... Me da paz y energía

Such a powerfull song. I remember since the first time. Bruce said he over sang it on Darkness. But I never got that. It was perfect.

If this intro doesn't emotion you... well, you're dead...

Mamma Mia che roba. Una Melodia da paura molto bella.

Instant good mood food! Awesome version!!!

go boss wow what a beautiful song this is .. all your music is fantastic & actually listening to the words in your songs boy you sure put a lot accross .. love it

The music, the intensity and the stage lighting all make for an incredible video.

This made me cry. I love this💓💓💓

La grinta di un leone!!grande Bruce ! Sei unico !!😘😘😘😍💎♥️♥️♥️

For years now, you are one of my favourite singers and this song Woh! I listen to it every day. It’s beautiful Bruce. Don’t ever stop singing😘

One of my favorite songs - Freaking Bruce.

La muerda Bruce...escucho este tema todas las noches y da paz a mi alma....muchas gracias... Increíble lo q me genera... Max Weinberg es como que lo aplasta con la batería y le exsigue más.. .y mas

Superb. Just superb.

A veces las palabras no alcanzan para describir lo que me pasa cada vez que escucho esta canción, pero si lo tengo que decir de alguna manera sería: Esta canción me desintegra y al reconstruirme me hace más fuerte. Te agradezco profundamente querido Bruce, con la misma profundidad que los océanos, porque si azul es el misterio más profundo, azules son las almas. Bendigo con cada sentimiento indescriptiblemente hermoso a todas aquellas personas que aman y disfrutan de tu música tanto como yo. Your music is soundtrack of my life. GRACIAS TOTALES Y ETERNAS. Abrazo desde Argentina.

Churches should have this blaring it’s almost gospel

Best Springsteen albem

Trovador de los últimos dos siglos... Épico, he inigualable...trasmisor de el sentimiento más profundo que un hombre tiene con una mujer.... Genio en 1986 con 16 años salte 4 horas frente a ti en Amnisty en Bs As...no lo olvidaré por mil vidas... Hoy me conmueves como el primer acorde q escuché hace 35 años... Tengo una promesa pendiente....y la espero con ansiedad.

10 of 10. Bruuuuuuuuuuuce!

O.my gosh...he pierces my heart in this song...wow...! ❤ this man would have been a great actor..also ! 🐿🍀🌵

Sono rapita da questa canZone!!!! E Bruce la canta con tutta la passione che ha nel cuore!!! 😰😰😌😳😍😍😚👏👏💙🎸💋

Thank You Bruce. No more money no more fancy dress, this over kingdown seem so far thé Best Thérèse something in the night. Come soon in France again We miss You

Talk about intensity.

Might be my favorite song/performance ever. Perfect!

Grande Grande Grande...Sei UNICO.😎😋😅

Je n'ai pas de mots pour décrire le batteur max il est totalement époustouflant merci monsieur

I feel his pain

Fucking Angst. This resonates.

For all of you Alpha Males out there.......this our theme song.

"Looking for a moment when the world seems right"

Soft summer nights spent looking for redemption, riding that road until dawn.....Perhaps it is found at 4,500 RPM in third gear on an empty two lane ........

This song has always been one of my favorites. It tells a hard tale with shades of opera.

Best song from the best album. Makes me shudder every time

That’s facts! I can’t get enough!

Eu fico imaginando esse homem lindo com essa voz maravilhosa se declarando p mim.kkkk

A song that just showcases the talent of not only Bruce but Max and Roy so well. I saw a comment by Ted Nugent (a jerk in my estimation) about how the "disgusting" Springsteen was such a great musician and had such a great band. Kind of says it all...

Soltanto lui può fare una prestazione di questo spessore senza pubblico..

Quando ascolto questi pezzi vorrei tanto conoscere l,inglese! Immenso Bruce!!! 😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗♥️♥️

Wow! Thank God for this guy and his music. It’s meant an awful lot to me through the years.

Un trovador enviado de Dios...para sanar corazones rotos..

This was a good year for Bruce ... his voice ...

Im so grateful living, not yet dead when listening him and his E Street

ESPECTACULAR!!!!!HAGA LO QUE HAGA.....

Grande boss.👍❤

La tua voce boss,la tua voce è da BRIVIDO!BELLISSIMA...BELLISSIMA.. BELLISSIMA 💓💓

Chills, that middle 8 part is amazing - words, music and delivery. I think this was filmed at the Parmount in Asbury, can anyone confirm? Anyone on set?

always loved this song

If you can’t relate to this man then I’m guessing you stayed home with mommy helping her make dresses

Fucking epic. Wow. The passion

Deve ser um ser humano maravilhoso 💎 só largam ele com a morte, não vê Clarence 🎷😥🎸🎤🎹 todos eles são monstros

This is one of Bruce's very best songs, just perfection of SoulFull Catharsis... I had to share my thoughts here when I read Rolling Stone magazines top 100 Bruce songs and they somehow didn't include this amazing piece of Real Feeling Soul Rawkin'!! That must have been a mistake for sure... 70 of the songs they included were very good but this is better than all of those in my opinion... Rock on SOULfully forever good brother Bruce!! 🎶🌌🙌

Amazing!!!!
