My god. Roy's beautiful piano intro, Clarence's sax outro and everything in between. Best version of this song they ever played. Every year, we have an all night campfire party in May to celebrate my husband's birthday and the beginning of spring. I have an eighteen hour playlist for that night and this version of this song always ends it. By then, I'm usually picking up beer bottles at dawn. Havin' a party...
I sat in the front row at Springsteen in St Louis on Big Man side. He winked at me and I winked back. He winked again and I looked over to my left and every girl in the front row was winking at him. LOVE ME SOME BIG MAN!
It's so different than the album version. So much soul and heart in it. Same goes for For You, the version they played on this tour is just so perfect. Why did those days go by?
I've always loved, LOVED, this version of E St. Shuffle, but I wish Bruce told the story of meeting Clarence on a cold, rainy night on the boardwalk. I guess he figured that wouldn't mean anything to an English audience, so he practically launched right into,"Sparks..." That always gives me chills, but it should be at the moment their hands meet.
It's amazing how the lyrics are transformed in this version. On the album they just come across as fun party lyrics, way below his usual ambition. Here they evoke wistful nostalgia for old summer friendships. At 8:45 he goes off script and starts muttering: "cause pretty soon it's all gonna be gone..."
When I think about the fact that Bruce wrote this song before he was 25 I shake my head in disbelief. For him to reimagine that same song like he did here defies description.
Many of Clarences solos are easy to play note for note. But most of us just sound silly in comparison! So much feeling in each phrase. So much color in each note.
Best concert I've ever seen & heard. I wasn't there. I was 2 in 75. I smile, get teared up, and feel my skin prickle every time I watch this concert. I've managed to see him 3 times in st louis & it's the same. But there's something special about this song. I got the cd & i absolutely wore this song out. Luh ya bruce & the band. Make the world a better place to be.
So hot - and yet so cool. Is there anyone else out there who orchestrates and writes and choreographs these kinds of immersive musical performances anymore?
Epic...Captivating...Classic...Chills......Lyrically Brilliant.........."The Wild, The Innocent, & The E Street Shuffle"....An album where Rock, Soul, Jazz, the Blues & Classical music, seem to effortlessly intersect, play, & find each other with ease......A Masterpiece....part of my DNA for decades.
I wish I was in Jungleland but, instead, here I am in Covid world. I don't know how to live like this. Thank God for The Boss. I can lose myself in the brilliance of his music, the truth of his lyrics, the amazing performances that pull me in like a magnet. We all need Bruce to save us from the coming civil war. I LOVE you Bruce! I swear I'd RUN all night just to buy you some shoes and be safe in your arms. When you say not to cry now, I have no choice but to pull myself together and find the will to go on. There are no words to express what you mean to me. (Just to clarify, I am a woman. The account is under my husband's name)
Absolutely love this super cool version 👌😎😍 Wouldn't you just love to live inside an E Street song?? Well, actually, we do when we truly listen to their songs....we inhabit those brilliant words, those incredibly described scenarios --- we all are standing with Mary on her front porch, riding down Thunder Road....on the boardwalk, we live in the darkness on the edge of town....🌆
Just edges out ‘Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out’ from the Live In New York City DVD as my favorite Bruce and E Street live performance ever. The tight knit, soulful brotherhood of the band and Big Man’s held note at the end, like all the infinities of human existence live within it... shit, if I somehow wasn’t tearing up before, I am now.
Very unique and unusual performance! It’s like a whole different song! Love it! It’s hard to believe actually! The closest thing to a Jazz thing they ever did! 🎵🎸💕
Was war das für eine schöne Zeit, die 70er. Mit der viele schöne Bands. Ob Jazz, Soul, Blues, und andere Musik, es hatte klasse. Heute nach über 40 Jahren ist Bruce Springsteen, noch der einzige geblieben wo ich sagen kann, er besitzt alle diese vorraussichtliche Musikrichtungen. Ich war 22 Jahre alt, als ich ein Fan von Bruce Springsteen wurde, nach 44 Jahren immer noch ein großer Fan von Bruce Springsteen, das werde ich immer bleiben. Forever fan for you. Bruce Springsteen ❤❤❤❤❤
Well that was certainly a different version of the song. Cool to see how it started and what an epic tune it turned into over the years. Funny how the rest of the band is dressed to the nines, all sharp in suits and fedoras, while Max looks like he’s ready for a day at the beach and Bruce like he just got off work at the garage working on cars. Bruce has, by his own words, never held a job other then being a musician. Good choice Bruce, good choice!
Smile & cry every time I listen to this. So sweet. Had it going on my phone when a beautiful nurse came to take my blood in the middle of the night. Sung to her. She's a killer, she's a murderous, she's the queen down on lover's lane.
As Jon Stewart said , when Bob Dylan and James Brown ‘ had a baby ‘ , The Boss was born . And the definition of ‘authenticity in music’ was forever redefined . You made my heart beat Bruce . Thank-you .
The big man & his sax is very missed. Just listening to the music was so beautiful, emotionally raw, then came the boss open his mouth and the pleasure of just listening to E Street wasn't the same. Thank you Bruce for...
He's been playing these songs almost fifty years. Saw him last week in Dublin, 3hrs nonstop, at 73 years of age. Everybody walked out on a high, almost a religious experience, my congratulations (and envy) to anyone who was in in the Hammersmith Odeon to see this in '75.
This upload is full of gems,Thank you Bruce.I saw you in Philly RIVER TOUR.To see Bruce and E Street band in 75 even on film is something incredibly special.The mix is solid too.Sounds soooo Good! Band looks great and are incredibly TIGHT !What a treat,to watch.
I actually prefer the slower live versions of The E Street Shuffle over the original version featured on The Wild, The Innocent And The E Street Shuffle.
Grandissimo BRUCE! Ma quei 14 non possono essere fans....allora,che cazzo ci fanno qui? Come non amare questo geniale giovane Artista che sarebbe diventato una LEGGENDA? Vabbe' la libertà d'espressione,ma qui parliamo di magia più che di musica...a proposito:MITICA ESTREET BAND!
La alegria y el dolor, ambos sentimientos obviamente opuestos, dieron forma a la música de este hombre y en medio de esa bruma nos regaló joyas como esta, hace casi 50 años.
No t'imagines com m'hauria agradat haver estat allà..... Llàstima només tenia cinc anys, suposo això és del 78..... Versió suposo vostra, després s'arranjaria per al públic... Molt xula.... Inspira serenitat
We all know the story. Americans invented soul, blues and rock n roll but in the 60s the Brit’s took it over and made it their own. But there were 2 American artists who went to England and reclaimed rock n roll as an American art form based on their live work when they arrived in London. The first was in 1966 by Jimi Hendrix. The second time was this performance. No other American artist has gone to England and blew the Brits away like that and made them bow
I have a bootleg of the 1975 show at the Main Point. Bruce talks about how he met Clarence. Ending with and when we touched....Sparks light on E Street.
Nem mesmo ele poderia imaginar que teria uma carreira tão brilhante 💎💎💎💎🎸🎤 acompanho a pouco tempo mais... AMOOOOOO 💘 cada vez mais 💞💞💞 Bruce é maravilhoso 💘
Can you imagine being the guy who shouted "TURN THE GUITAR ON!" at Bruce? I'm really curious if that guy's still around and what he thinks about that comment looking back, lol.
