Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - Incident On 57th Street

Filmed at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY. 7-11-2009

[@Builderboy2620]

One of Bruce’s finest songs on what is arguably one of the greatest album sides in the history of rock and roll.

[@davidmacpherson3009]

Can’t argue with that my friend. Bruce fan since ‘80, this could be his best, arguably. Greetings from Scotland.

[@Builderboy2620]

@@davidmacpherson3009 Thanks for your reply. I need to get to Scotland some day and play golf!!

[@jeffziemer1140]

I would argue that that side 2 of this album IS the greatest album side of all time.

No one, I mean NO ONE, in the last 50+ years of rock, pop and blues music, could WRITE, play and sing and perform, song-stories, like THIS MAN, Bruce Springsteen... PERFECT.

probably the most underrated rock song of all time...and the best outtro of all time...and one of the best intro's....gorgeous song

Mind bogglingly stunning song. After listening to Bruce for 40 years this sits at number 1! The theatre, the guitar work. It is perfection!

[@soupdragonuk]

That's how it is for me too @Linda Anderson listening to Bruce for some 40 years, but this sits top of the list. The coda finishing the song is pure power, beauty and emotion.

Beyond doubt the greatest, most fantastic live performance by *any* artist in the history of rock music.

I love how nobody here complains about the quality of the video and everybody just praises Bruce. There's still places on the internet where haters don't go it seems!

[@shaserv]

What’s to hate?

[@brianwade879]

We're listening.... enjoying our brother from another mother, Bruce. That's why !

[@digoheliservice]

i can listen 100 times to his gitar solo at the end.

[@nkjrm348]

The Wild the Innocent contained three songs that are legendary. Rosalita, NYC serenade and this. This is life, death, love and human emotion in one song.

[@theoracle6454]

Imagine writing all this in your early twenties. Incredible. Chased this song for years but it wasn’t to be.

[@theiceman6941]

This song has one of the best guitar outros in the world. Of any song.

[@jamesslinn1603]

I agree

[@dylankuhlmann]

Right up there with Comfortably Numb.

[@robertferguson533]

And then they finish it up with that beautiful piano and launch into Rosalita

[@steveheitz]

And just to think how many people have not been fortunate enough to listen to this song. I wish they knew what they were missing.

[@patrickcooper7534]

Great tune Garry Tallent bass playing on this song is stunning

[@michaelstevens655]

There is a reason he is called the Boss, that was played so well! I listen to it everyday

Is there really anybody better than Bruce !!! OMG the younger generation sure did miss out on this mega talented man. Nobody in todays music can hold a candle to him !! His old music is so compelling and the words are so meaningful to my generation !!! He should be in every Hall of Fame there is !!! Rock on Bruce we will always love you !!!

[@susanhavens1660]

I compare him to a modern day Mozart. He will be listened to for centuries.

[@lindaanderson1957]

He changed my life when I discovered his music at age 14. He brings me immense joy. Every life scenario, the ups and the downs are all in the music. I belong to the Church of Springsteen like so many others. Blessed beyond belief.

@@lindaanderson1957 He changed my life when I discovered him aged 18 or 19. I bought the Live 75/85 album on vinyl and taped my favourite tracks on it, and I walked to and fro from work listening to it every day. But, this, Incident on 57th is my favourite Bruce track ever. The lyrics weaving a beautiful, yet tragic tale, and the blistering coda at the end. Wow.

[@tommybjork2674]

This song is like a movie, the solo in the end is rolling during the aftertexts....

I love Bruce and his songs have such beauty woven in them. This song though is my favourite by a long way so many versions to pick from Bryn Mwar in '75, Uniondale in '80 and this one.

[@johnpayne6860]

Everytime I see Bruce with that Telecaster I know it's going to be a good song, that's what brings it out!

[@quinton3050]

Best song he ever wrote. And he wrote many great ones.

[@MarkNewton-wr3zo]

I have been returning to this beautiful song over the decades to be captured by its nostalgia and humour laced, with a European accent by the grace of Danny’s piano accordion. His presence lends a poignancy also; he will forever be remembered. Thank you.

[@MarkNewton-wr3zo]

PS I wrote this for 4th of July. !

[@anettehauge8718]

This number was played about 37 years after it was composed 1973 - a real fashination played by Bruce Springsteen - the bandleader, the musician and the composer 🌹

[@adrianhoskins2752]

Unlike most rock musicians, Bruce's songs are so full of meaning. Every single word is there for a reason, creating and setting the scene. Every song is a story, like an epic movie. Every note on his guitar or piano, every note by the amazing musicians of the East Street Band, every nuance in Bruce's voice, every expression on his face, they all add up to something quite incredible. How any single human being can maintain such a high level of creativity and quality for 60 years is beyond my comprehension.

[@leonardshutty6516]

Never listened to Roy Bittan on the background. Awesome

[@CPSJSMSUUMUGA]

Great audio. Bruce can play "Incident" as a soft rocker, as on the album (The Wild, the Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle, his second, release in November 1973) - and it's great -acoustically, alone, playing the piano or guitar - and it's great - or as here, a full band anthem - and it's great. This song could be dropped almost anywhere into "West Side Story" and it would be a showstopper, probably the best song in this classic musical.

[@Dave-ey8ck]

Love it with just the piano i think he played it that way at round hay park 1985 can any one confirm
