Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band Perform "The Rising" | Letterman

[@stevereed8786]

This amazing performance was during the tragic aftermath of 911. I remember the safe and comforting feeling seeing the entire band on this night. It was a reassurance from someone we all loved and we felt really good for the first time that year.

One of the best performances ever of the Rising

[@frankaddington1773]

Agree and I've seen many. Damn, he acted like it was the last song he'd ever play.

20 years later the guy is heading back out on another international tour. No one better than The Boss!!!!!!!!

[@mikeberg5003]

Been waiting since before Covid for it.

And we'll be there in February 2023 in Portland Oregon. SO EXCITED

New York needed this song

[@MONSTERDR451]

we'll always have Lillyhammer...

[@porcorosso999]

It's really amusing to see Max Weinberg on a different late night show...

[@Dizzy1980]

I was thinking the exact same thing.

[@madbug1965]

Brice Springsteen once said that the E Street Band ensbles him to tell s bigger story. This performance is one of the best examples of what him meant.

[@ArtificialBanana]

This song was an essential post-9/11 morale booster!

[@103121]

Great to see Danny and Clarence alive and well.

[@ZombieRodeo]

This tour was the first time I saw him live... I couldn't get tickets to see him in the UK, then I missed out on France and in the end, I wound up flying to Columbia, SC just to watch this concert and then flew back home a few hours later!

[@LtHh-f9j]

Miss Late Night memories -- thanks for letting us revisit them again and thanks for all the laughs, man!

[@jrpipik]

Danny and Clarence, oh man.

[@mikeberg5003]

Yeah, don't even tell me.

[@maragetwhite8001]

Thanks Bruce for all the great music you and the band do every time you put albums out you are great thank u. America needs you again to write another song to help us heal from the violence from guns by please writing a song about the violence going on in America's school s we need you to show the world that we will not live in fear by a gun.

[@jimwaters1562]

Fantastic.

[@normaskaalum9303]

A great song ❤

[@Chickenpatty878]

Oh this is awesome. Reminds me of the CD I bought in the bargain bin of a local record store, Live on Letterman: Music From the Late Show. Any chance to upload videos from that disc would be awesome. That CD, this upload, and every other performance always sounded top notch 👍

[@johnedwardjones999]

Great clip. Thank you. Do miss Clarence The Big Man though.

[@gooberthoreau]

It is funny that in the mid 80s through this album, Bruce seemed to become obsessed with synth driven ostinatos in his music.

[@ukwildcampersouthwest4885]

20 years later tour tickets are no longer affordable for the working man like they used to be. Thank you Ticketmaster UK.

I remember there were so many funerals that Vancouver firefighters traveled to New York to provide honor guards
