Bruce Springsteen "Prove it all Night" Live '78 Phoenix (Reaction)

[@onnikarppinen3541]

Bruce is still going strong even at the age of 70. He is touring the world and tens of thousands of people are watching. I've seen him three times live and they've been the best experiences of my life.

[@911jedi8]

I've seen him live 49 times. No one better

[@daveconlin8342]

You will never know how great a guitarist he is til you see him live.

[@TheCorrectAnswer56]

The solo was improvised every night. And imagine 3 and a half hours of this type of energy night after night after night after night.... There's a reason they call him The Boss.

[@karenscigliano9787]

One of my favs whenever we saw him

[@tomdeluca]

Love your reaction to this, it’s priceless! I’ve watched it three times. Great job and good for you knowing greatness when you see it. My buddy and I were witnessing this (listening to bootlegs etc) when we were 12 years old and knowing what it was and how special it was back then. It’s not uncommon for him to have younger fans now but back then it was. Keep it up!

[@Reclining_Spuds]

Welcome to Bruce Springsteen. You have 42 years of catching up to do.

[@aliciasaracino1233]

Couldn’t have said it better myself... todays generation have only begun to scratch the surface of the amazing music we grew up with.

[@ZahraIsMyDog]

Let him stay on The Darkness Tour for a while!

[@bonxieskua]

48 years......

[@Reclining_Spuds]

@@bonxieskua lol, I guess I was counting from the point of the video. Yes indeed the previous 6 years were also epic.

[@badlandso73]

Fantastic commitment. I love your appearance and reaction. Can't wait for more ...

[@EgbertWilliams]

Props to this guy for playing some songs that the real fans know.

[@joelliebler5690]

That is The ‘BOSS’ at his best when he ran things ! His early works from the early ‘70’sthrough The ‘Darkness on The Edge of Town’ was when Bruce and The E Street Band. rocked out! Backstreet and Jungle Land are brilliant as well as Candy’s Room!

[@stevebrien1041]

Bruce can play ! That's why he's the Boss I'm a huge fan of him in the late 70s and early 80s - great era of girls and cars songs He can blow the roof off any arena when he's with E Street THIS is a great song

[@stevebrien1041]

He also has one of the best bands ever

[@kurtzupin4835]

KZbin Algo brought me to you, this is the first video I see. Love the enthusiasm you have fro Bruce. Look to the Right and the Up Next is you doing another song. So I go to check all your videos and see you blowing up on Bruce. Instant subscribe man, a new Bruce fan made, I'm there. Love seeing people react for the first time to some of my favorites.

[@margiemcpeak9304]

🎸💯 Bruce Springsteen a living legend! 🔥 🎵 E Street Band ALWAYS rock out‼🎶 🎷RIP Clarence "Big Man" Clemons.❤🕊🙏

[@gator72060]

Welcome to the Bruce club, there is so much more to enjoy.

[@barrypayne4285]

I saw Bruce for the first time in 78 in Atlanta and I have seen him 5 tiomes.un f4eaking believable!!

[@terryselensky4513]

My first Bruce concert was on this tour and your video was like reliving that night. Concerts then were a low cost form of entertainment. Paid $7.50 for the ticket. I had heard his studio stuff and liked it but he was not my favorite artist. I was 17 years old and my favorites at the time were the typical two guitars, bass and drums lineups of the typical rock bands at the time. My reaction was exactly like yours. I smiled so much that night my jaw muscles were sore the next day. The Best thing resulting from this was it peaked my interest in the older music from the late 50's and early 60's which led to the wonderful journey of rock and roll and it's roots. From a 60 year old retired professional drummer, thanks for giving me a good happy smile and a trip down memory lane. Good job kid.

[@barneyonmovies5672]

Great reaction man, Bruce really is an underrated guitar player. You should totally check out some more springsteen - Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out Live in New York City in 2000 is incredible. Not much guitar but man he plays the crowd like an instrument. Greatest live performer ever.

[@petersneddon962]

Yea Tenth Avenue Freeze Out. Live DVD 2000.It will floor you

[@petersneddon962]

C'mon react to Tenth Avenue. You'll pay us for suggesting it lol

[@BDUBZ49]

That was a great tour. I saw them in Chicago - Sept '99. If you're going to watch Tenth Ave, you may as well watch Light Of Day from the same show too. Even if you don't do a reaction video, just watch it for your own amusement.

[@coachfun1987]

Love seeing these reactions from unfamiliar listeners of Bruce. It's great!

[@karenscigliano9787]

The Boss can shred with the best...surprises people because he's known for so many other talents I think. One of my favs.

[@Joel-fi9pv]

They don't call him the Boss' for nothing! Absolute legend. so many classic songs, albums... Check out his Barcelona tour in 2012. Sure he's getting on in years, but that crowd is in another place. Bruce and the band brought the music, and the crowd built the house of joy!

[@kentinatl]

I SAW HIM IN 78' IN COLUMBUS,OHIO.3+ HOURS OF PURE ENERGY..

[@Coolrockndad]

That's why Bruce is called The Boss. He does it all.

[@dynosmith4096]

Bruce,s elongated intro's when playing live are fantastic. try to get a listen to winterland.

[@Golovkin15]

That was a great watch. , new subscriber from Edinburgh Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@KeefsCattys]

Bruce can play guitar and his band is awesome .. I've seen him live several times and its the best experience .

[@djmcg01]

Funny I was gonna say Welcome to 78 Bruce but people beat to me to it. Top of the food chain band playing their hearts out here. I live in NJ and this is a amazing. The 78 intro w. Guitar solo 9:25 in is amazing. Enjoy. I will always recommend the best videos " Because the Night " Capitol Theater " check it out "

[@johnkasbohm7839]

Welcome to our world, kid.

[@rickrenzi6906]

Grew up in NY. I’m 63, first time I saw him, Feb ‘76. IMO the greatest live performer I’ve seen. You want to know what it’s like, check out Light of Day. You’re good

[@GavinMaGrath]

Most people are clueless as to how good of a guitarist he is. It's not his main thing, his message is in the vocals and overall musical completion. When he does solos, they rip, guitar, piano or even harmonica. Just keep listening.

[@drscgiulianorussinibiologo2582]

Bruce is in Absolute a GREAT GUITARIST!

[@lawrencewestby9229]

I last saw Bruce and the band in 2016 (I've seen them around 30 times) at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The show clocked in at just around four hours with no real intermission. He was 66 at the time and the rest of the band of similar age. Through the years he hasn't lost any energy, okay maybe he can't hang upside down on the mic stand anymore and rarely plays multiple nights in a row, but he and the band play their hearts out every time. Oh, and a couple nights before, I saw them play a show that was only a couple of minutes shorter.

[@dgeorgemirell1445]

i was with you that night brother!

[@karenscigliano9787]

Confession: I was always a tiny bit relieved when his show ended! So great in concert but left me exhausted--but exhilarated as well!

[@JBeck33]

Check out the live version of Rosalita from 1980 in Tempe. Magical.

[@twwtjohns]

As well as Bruce can shred the guitar, he hasn't been the best guitarist in his own band for 40 years. That honor goes to Nils Lofgren.

[@timkerwin6886]

Dawley, just when you think you have heard it all; and he starts with a 4 1/2 minute intro

[@oskarberglind840]

I would recommend the 1975 hammersmith version of It’s Hard to Be a Saint in the City! Bruce and Steve have a kind of guitar duel in it that’s really neat

[@KristiinaBerg]

Check out "Prove it all night" in Capitol Theatre in Passaic, NJ.

[@someoneiswatchin]

Amen! The '78 Prove it all Night from Capitol Theatre is EPIC! The intro is longer and even more savage than this version. The video is in black and white which just adds to rawness and intimacy of the performance. A must see on KZbin.

[@ZahraIsMyDog]

The greatest ten minutes of rock and roll EVER.

[@MaGiKRat420]

This isn't even the best performance of this song. Look at his September 20th (?), 1978 Passaic, NJ performance of this song to really blow your mind

[@jamesslinn1603]

Winter land San Francisco is right up there with Passaic.

[@jackdodsworth6077]

I always wished the 78 thrill hill vault performance of prove it all night made it ontononenof those great bootleg albums, it is absolutely fantastic

[@ronreynolds1610]

''Because the Night '' live from this time frame is as amazing ...

[@stephensuddick274]

Volume as art. It was a great time to be alive.

[@BDUBZ49]

A lot of folks commenting "That's why he's called The Boss!". (That's not actually why). Early on when he was playing mainly NJ and NY clubs, he would take it upon himself to collect the pay from the bar/club owners and distribute it to the band members. They started calling him "the boss" sarcastically amongst themselves. But eventually it got out and fans got a hold of the nickname, not realizing the reason behind it...and that Bruce didn't like it. By then it was too late.

[@ThunderRoad1]

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - Light of Day (Live in New York City) You can thank me later

[@paulcarroll7061]

The audio version of this song from the Fox Theater in Atlanta 1978 has a longer, cooler piano intro, check it out.

[@jerseymikemike4149]

Hey brother what’s up. You need to check out Springsteen video “Rosilita” great energy video but it’s long . Check it out I saw you did a Springsteen review on “ prove it all night” you didn’t realize that he played guitar that blew my mind So after seeing that I had to subscribe.

[@ewoe21]

The Boss!!

[@royalway12]

Check out some of his" Darkness On The Edge Of Town". Not a weak song on that whole album.

[@shawnkielty6605]

Nothing compares to Prove it all Night live Key Largo!!!

[@JackF99]

From the POV of someone from Bruce's generation, today's young people have and do a lot of stuff we did we not have as kids but genuine good music performed by actual musicians is just not embraced as a whole by this generation. Music created on iPads seems to satisfy most 20-year-olds today. It's a loss but change is the only constant.

[@stephensuddick2557]

Volume as art🤘

[@trevsinclair]

You are doing yourself a massive disservice if you do not investigate Bruce's music further. He is the GREATEST musical artist of all time in my opinion, and he has the greatest band behind him. There are better versions of Prove It All Night (Live) out there too, with better solos. I highly recommend you check out The Ghost Of Tom Joad Live, with Tom Morello. If you do, tie some string tightly around your socks, so they don't blow off. There is a whole plethora of Bruce's music that will expand your mind and will probably make you obsessed with him (seeing as you obviously appreciate great music!). Albums to check out would be Darkness on The Edge of Town, and The River. If you like those, then go further. If you like guitar solos then check out the live version of his song Incident on 57th Street (Live at Nassau Coliseum).

[@dgeorgemirell1445]

not sure about better versions, this one was always my fav!

[@ZahraIsMyDog]

That is awesome that someone is doing a LIVE 1978 Springsteen, but why not Capitol Theater for Prove it..? It’s the single greatest moment of rock and roll.

[@Gjw303]

Please look at The River

[@connerolson133]

Definitely check out Ghost of Tom Joad by Bruce featuring Tom Morello at the 25th anniversary of rock and roll, crazy guitar playing in there you won’t be disappointed

[@sethseiden9604]

You look like Johnny Knocksville.

[@dawleyreacts3152]

I swear to you that I've had others say the same thing

[@KevinDanielMusic]

Thanks for uploading! If you have a minute, I posted a cover of Jason Isbell. As a fellow music lover, I'd love if you'd take a listen. It's on my channel. Hope you enjoy!

[@kindnessfirst9670]

Not bad for a used $150 guitar he bought back before he could even drive a car.

[@ButternutGOLD]

I think you might lie

[@stevenolsen3162]

Quick note.. you're a white guy

[@darrellgaylor76248]

Stop talking

[@Hayseo]

you might not want to go down the spingsteen rabbit hole, it will take a while to get out. Everything from 1973 to 1985 is good, after that not so much. After 1985 he went from rocker to artist. Fuck art, lets dance. Listen to Thunder Road, Badlands , Born to run, New York city Serenade , Lost in the Flood, Candy's Room......
