Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - Streets of Fire (Live in Houston, 1978)

[@mrshardlo]

I've never seen anyone own a song quite this much.

[@no834]

To those who don't know. This ladies and gentlemen IS ROCK AND ROLL. Many try, many pretend, many pose, but nobody does it better.

[@Aryanof99]

They call him "The Boss" for a reason 🤘🤘

You said it brother!

They don't make 'em like that anymore....thankful they did and we were lucky enough to get to enjoy the many talents the Boss was blessed with... he's awesome even now.... he's on 🔥 FIRE 🔥

If don't know best live show no doubt

I wish Bruce had more guitar oriented songs like this. This is awesome.

He did all those guitar poses in front of the mirror for hours to get that good ! You know I'm right ;) Pure rock and its beautiful !!

[@cynthiabrown4918]

I so love seeing him so young ...

[@tastemaker_87]

This is what I show people who don't yet appreciate the real boss. I uploaded this when the darkness set was released in 2010 on my channel which was my highest viewed video by far (75k plus) When youtube notified it was taken down I hoped it was due to be released on the official channel and here it is. Very happy to see it here.

[@sligo405]

Love this shit. Cannot get enough of the real.

[@bradleypettett4948]

Quite an underated guitarist to be honest, another reason, this song right here I've got that exact telecaster tattooed to me, thanks Bruce for most of who I am at 25 xo come back to NZ brother

Good morning, Boss fans all over the world! So good to see that the energy is the same - now and then. It doesn't matter when or where, Bruce is always giving us his best. Greetings from São Paulo, Brazil!

This is such a great cut on "Darkness" and so unique,nothing else in Bruce's catalog sounds like it really. But this version lands it in my upper echelon top 5% of his songs. As someone who loves Hard Rock/ Metal I love when Bruce throws down and he doesnt just shred,his solos and riffs are so melodic.Just scrolled down and saw I gushed over it 5 mnths ago 😅

[@barnabusbucky]

Coming across this Boss performance as I was traveling down the E Street rabbit hole. Stop. Don’t pass Go. And, Wow! What a frig’n gem! The Boss rock’s on all cylinders, 8.0 fuel injected, and Souped-Up. The Boss putting it out there, reckless abandon and raw to the soul! With all due respect, The Boss in utter Beast Mode - hungry and feast’n! As we say in the Garden State: Frig’n Epic! Thanks, Boss for laying All on the line for the whole world, these many decades!

[@anthonymwathi6277]

There are three players who shaped my life...last 48 yrs...they did good...Most important is my God...my late loving mum...and Bruce Springsteen...I get lots of drive from the boss...God bless you..No retreat.... No surrender...for I am tougher than the rest....

[@Daniel58S]

78 one of the most epic concert tours ever

[@MrRecordman]

When he was the main boss guitar player 💙

[@craigallegrezza1876]

Unbelievable performance! This is the year I first saw Bruce. I was hooked and pretty much born again. I never saw any show like this guy put on.

[@JamesRosenthalGOOGLE]

That's the power of Bruce & The E Street Band right there!! Incomparable

[@davidcappel8292]

The Darkness album and tour featured wonderful guitar work by Springsteen - he really knew how to make it talk, extending his emotions and vocals with his six strings. All versions of this songs are powerful.

[@daveconlin8342]

So true bro,never realized Bruce's skills til hearing him live,.If you only hear his radio rotation tunes and especially his top 40 there is no reason to think he is a guitar god.

[@daveconlin8342]

My current and for last few months favorite Bruce song.Ferocious,,,everything about it,throwing down guitar riffs,killer solos and absolutely snarling vocals.The '78 tour every song sounded better than the album version or any other tour.

[@chrisgreenspon5610]

Tell me about it. I first got into him from the Winterland bootleg, and at first the River Tour boots felt somehow wrong to me. And those are awesome. Just something special about these ones.

[@JoeWexler]

Started going to Bruce's concerts since 1977 on long Island 31 shows later still the best live show no doubt

[@waldograde]

The second song of the night! Imagine being there and absolutely knowing the evening is just gonna better.

[@kindnessfirst9670]

Among his best guitar solos.

[@Contractnik]

This guy is an American gem and icon. Wow. Just wow. Amazing talent.

[@kindnessfirst9670]

One of his undiscovered gems.

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

I love the irony of this to title of your channel And speaking of the Boss who so many have shit upon because of his leaning left

[@zackh.8374]

im a new fan, its insane to me to think how big of a rock star he was at this point, soon to release the river.. and then take a left turn and release Nebraska. and not tour for it. then do born in the USA and zoom hes off to the Milky Way. what a wild story.

[@gerardgerard5681]

No Bruce was not a big star in 1978. It was after the River albums and then hit it big with BORN in the USA albumn, ie, Dancing in the Streets

[@zackh.8374]

​@@gerardgerard5681 huh youre right. the average crowd size seemed to be in the 4-6,000 range with a few over 10,000. thanks for the perspective. hard to gauge it almost 50 years after the fact

Love his face expressions you can tell his face that he puts his soul and joy in his music ❤

[@jefflarsen9743]

Saw him in Novmeber 78 in St. Paul. He played for four hours, and I left hoarse from screaming. 50 feet from the stage for the entire first set. The place was half-full (capacity 18K). One of the three greatest concerts of my life. 19 years old. Wow, I was lucky.

[@gusofgal]

i'm feeling so bad in that september , "génération désenchantée" because world's in fire , thx , you give energy , music and art , i will not surrender , i will hope , just one day more .... thx

[@spartyman7]

I see this video and I think..."There is the 19 year-old Springsteen with all of the passion for whatever may happen in the future..." I know this is the Darkness tour, I was there in 1978...but his voice is singing from a passion of a younger kid, trying to figure out the world. The lyrics are all over the place...what do they mean...in the end, I don't care. Exploding with the passion and confusion is good enough for me; angry, needing to figure it out, exploding with guitars and drums...

[@Caperhere]

Feeling this. Thank you.

[@hawaiiusa6147]

Much love to you Bruce! This was epic!

[@joshbricker4641]

A fucking great rock guitar solo....Bruce was capable of tearing Jimmy Page style stuff from his guitar (just listen to some of the old Steel Mill shows...) but by the time of Darkness, he realized a hot guitar solo wasn't going to be the record he wanted to make. But the guitar work on Darkness is still fantastic

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

What's interested to is a lot of people thought that most of the lead stuff was out Nils lofgren but yeah you're right Bruce could definitely rip out and solo when he wanted to

[@jamesslinn1603]

Absolutely correct

[@joshbricker4641]

Bruce is still the reason that whenever I practice, I pull out my Telecaster first. This album just goes to show what a Tele can do, and how versatile it is

[@J.A.Hansen]

So powerful and true.The Bruce and the E Street Band plays like they had a hellhound on their trail~And this guitarsound plus the vocals of Bruce hit the hammer on top of the nail👌

"Don't look at my face! / Don't - CallmmMmeEEaaeeabbbeae! / Cause I'm strung out on the wire"

[@jrpipik]

A mystery for 40 years.

[@Caperhere]

jrpipik Google: Strung out on the Old Barbed wire He adds the word “cross” in one part. I’m guessing the image is that of Christ, sacrificed on the cross. The song was written for a movie, but wasn’t used in it.

[@jrpipik]

@@Caperhere I don't hear that at all. Why would he say "strung out on the old barbed wire" just before he says "Cause I'm strung out on a wire"? The lyric sheet for Darkness leaves this line bland and even the closed caption for the concert the band did for the 30th anniversary just skips it.

[@Caperhere]

jrpipik He doesn’t say about the barbed wire. That is an old song from the First World War. You’d need to Google the song called: Strung Out on the Old Barbed Wire. When men in the trenches would be ordered to attack, they could, and did, get shot, and die in the wire barricades. Their bodies would be hung there, like Christ on the cross. I heard “ inside the wire” in a Jason Isbell song. He was singing about going back for another tour of duty overseas. I found the lyrics online. If I haven’t explained it well enough, let me know, please. I can tend to be all over the page sometimes.
