The Promised Land (Live at The Paramount Theatre 2009) 

When I get into a depressed state, Springsteen music like this, just puts me into another place, I owe my life to Mr.Springsteen I really do, so looking forward to him returning to Western Australia again, until then stay safe my friend.

Even in an empty theater Bruce can't give less than 100%.

Power,pure power and musicianship from the greatest band that ever set foot on a stage.

Clarence's joy, considering his condition at the time, nailing that solo....whew.

A studio show , no audience. But look at the effort and passion, total class 100% 👌

Magic Bruce and E street...god bless you ...god and Elvis

2:52 - One of those moments when all is right in the world.

There is scripture in the Bible that speaks about when God gets really angry and visits the earth with fierce weather and all of the things that Bruce describes in this song. He treats the whole world with that intense fury. He is looking down and the conditions on Earth are not what he created. He speaks and causes pure rain to fall, and it nourishes our planet. His heart is broken when he sees how badly we have messed up this planet. Thank God for "The Promised Land"

The Promised Land, is a land for hearts thirsting for freedom. The Promised Land, is a land for souls hungry for life. The Promised Land, is a land where the healing of timelessness flows. The Promised Land is a land where all people can live, rejoice, dance and sing. The Promised Land, is a release for imprisoned minds. For the whole universe, the heart's dream and the heaven of eternity, is The Promised Land.

You can put in a little bit of effort and make a song that will be a huge success for a couple of months, or you can put your guts into a song and have it live on for decades. Bruce chose the latter

My favorite. These are not his deepest lyrics, instrumentally it’s not the most complex, but damn does it cheer me up and give me a positive mood every single time. And what’s even more, it made me believe as well that there is a Promised Land.

Legends are born once and their music is reborn - everytime they are remembered. My memories with Bruce Springsteen have been from my childhood days from 1980s and to date his songs are now apart of the music legacy that my children carry from me. May Bruce live long enough to inspire the future generations across the world..

That shot of bruce though the big man's sax...is everything!!!!

Love that look Bruce gives Clarence during the first harp solo. They know they are absolutely nailing it!

He’s the B O S S for a reason!!!!!

THE BEST band ever

not long after "Darkness on the edge of town" was released Bruce started talking about re-recording this album. He felt like the band kind of underperformed. 30 Years later this live performance happened. But you can't bring back time. What's done is done. I like it the way that the Darkness Album sounds.It's unique. It can't be better because it's perfect the way it is.

Merry Christmas to all the Springsteen and E Streeet fans! Pretty soon we're gonna be there...

PAZ......SALUD....LIBERTAD....FELI CIDAD

He gives all he has

Great song, Great lyrics, Great band - the magic that is Springsteen.

I've always considered "Badlands" and "The Promised Land" to sort of be a matched set of songs. They are the lead tracks on the opposite sides of "Darkness" and it seems to me I saw them a number of times paired together in concert to fire up the crowd. This video convinces me that "Badlands" truest character is as a live song that works the crowd into an unbelievable frenzy live, but "The Promised Land" works most effectively as a song where the musicianship takes center stage. Hearing them perform it live here without an audience really reveals the emotional power of this song. (Of course, you can't go wrong with either in concert, but that's just an observation from this video.)

THE GREAT AMERICAN JUKEBOX ,

Always makes me smile watching Bruce 🎸❤️

Real man shit.

I love watching both older and newer videos. No matter what the setting (whether an empty theater or a venue filled with thousands) Bruce gives it a bazillion percent; and if the band is backing him they do the same. I agree with another commenter. “Badlands” and “The Promised Land” are two of my favorites; and even though Darkness is deliberately about the darker aspects of life and humanity I think these two songs have become anthems to help all of us rise above the darkness. It’s now become a bucket list item for me to see a show live if I can be so lucky when touring is possible again. Thank you Bruce!

This takes me to the Tip Top of the Springsteen pinnacle each and every time!

Clarence!

😇BELIEVE IN A PROMISE LAND BRUCE😇👐❤💙💛👐✌

One of my favorite Springsteen performances. Of any in fact!😄

It doesn't get better than this :)

My all-time favorite song.

There a comment by someone when the video was uploaded a few years ago and it was so perfect I’m trying to remember it: hopefully the guy reads this. “A muscular and moving version of a classic. An anthem of angst that also deliverers the promise of finding something better down the road”

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.

One of The Best LP Records of the XXth Century With The E Sreet Band, And Bruce Springsteen ,of course

Genius

I’ve related to this song from the first time it came out and i played it over and over a dozen times. Decades later I still relate to it more so now

Thank freaking God for Blinded by the Light (...Patti Smith too). Wouldn't have discovered his albums otherwise.

E Street forever and ever.

Oh the feels I felt hearing and seeing Clarence again. God he is missed. Danny too.

Bruce has always been my favorite performer. I would love to have a chat with him some day

THAT'S BEAUTYFFUL. ❤❤❤❤❤😅.

El más Grande!

LOVE BRUCE TE AMO

Beautiful, that’s it

I love the big man’s hooting and hollering at the end!

The Boss, unlike some others I could name, manages to express the hopes, fears, and nostalgia of American white men without putting others down. This wonderful song is a great example. Great respect!

Great voice and song

Always respect you're the best

Is it really 2020 or actually 1978? great hearing Bruce play these classic tracks.

Blow away the dreams that break your heart 💓

I like very much Bruce´s music and The Street Band. The frases in your songs are strong and simple. We´re thing about our life: decisions, choices and to learn with ours mistakes and became better human being.
