Thunder Road (Live at the Hammersmith Odeon, London '75)

[@billdaverne9389]

This is exactly how he started his debut Toronto show on December 21st, 1975. Just him, his harmonica, and Roy Bittan on piano.... followed by a standing ovation in which everybody was standing on their chairs as the rest of the E Street Band filed onstage. Brutally cold outside and hot, hot, hot inside. I was lucky enough to be in the 4th row on the centre aisle and will never forget that night. Glad this video is available for all to see and experience. It was my first Springsteen show and since then I've seen him 254 more times, including every Toronto show, and across the US.

[@MrThebestdirector]

i was just three years old but when i've seen it for the first time as teenager, this concert was a driver force for my life.. if i had a wish, it would be to assist to that concert... can you describe it with more details?

[@billdaverne9389]

@@MrThebestdirector Yes. Bruce came down on his knees and took the girl in front row aisle seat (north side) by the hand and sang just to her. It was eerily quiet, just like here. Then he scampered back up on stage and there was an instant standing ovation -- but everybody was standing on their chairs. Never seen that before or since. Incredible show of appreciation and respect. But watching this you can understand. In Toronto that night it was a typically cold late December night, about -24 C at show time, colder when we got out. The band's wheels were a mid-1960s GM motorhome and it was left running during the show to keep it warm for their trip home to New Jersey. There's a great bootleg of that night but about half the later songs were missed because the taper's batteries got too cold in the GA line-up outside.... My friends that I hauled along teased me that they would hate it, but they were on their chairs applauding with everyone else after Thunder Road. Now I tease them... I knew Born To Run then, but didn't know his first two records and hearing their songs live the first time blew me away. Rosalita was just one of the showstoppers...

[@Azabaxe80]

I'm a child of the 80s, which means I missed the coolest Springsteen ( _Darkness at the Edge of Town, Nebraska_ ) and lived through the hyper macho _Born in the USA_ Springsteen, a caricature of the man I could never identify with. Years later, someone gifted me both the _Born to Run_ and _Darkness at the Edge of Town_ box sets and the former included a disc with this performance. I was floored. And then I realized that maybe the most interesting Springsteen was the one right after the release of _Born to Run_ and before superstardom. I would have loved to have been in the audience for that concert.

[@YouBetterBelieveIt]

@@Azabaxe80 "hyper macho" is certainly a take....

[@Azabaxe80]

@@YouBetterBelieveIt Springsteen did a podcast with Barack Obama called _Renegades: Born in the USA_ where both men talk about their lives and what motivated and affected them through the various stages of said lives. Springsteen talked about his alienation from the person he was during the _Born in the USA_ period. The weight lifting, the mass appeal, the Hollywood wife, all of it. I never identified with _that_ Springsteen, and lo and behold, neither does the man himself. And he was a lot more self-critical in those interviews than my "take" is. Give it a listen. It's free.

[@goat2558]

Thunder Road is one of my 5 top favorite songs of all time. I saw this Springsteen tour in a 3000 seat venue in Memphis in 75 or early 76. All my girlfriend could say was unbelievable when I asked her how she was liking the show. After nearly 4 hours the show ended and she had tears rolling down her face saying how she wished it would never be over. What a wonderful surprise to find after another sleepless night fighting the ravages of growing old. Well dear friend, Julie, I wish it would never be over too.

[@goat2558]

@joe jitsu After the Time and Newsweek's covers a lot of people I knew liked to diss on Springsteen. I would always challenge them to go to one of his concerts and then get back to me. I never had anyone come back disappointed. Of course the tickets were only ten bucks or so back in those days..

[@goat2558]

@joe jitsu I can honestly say I was a Springsteen fan prior to Born to Run, we had a really great college station that played his earlier stuff, but that album took rock and roll and myself to a whole new place. Born to Run is the only song that I remember exactly where and what I was doing when I first heard it. I was setting in my moms car listening to the radio while she payed some bills. The moment it ended I literally ran to Camelot music, the only record shop in town. I then had I bought the very first Born to Run album sold in Raleigh TN. a suburb of Memphis. I bought it before the record store had even put it on their shelf, the clerk was kind enough to get it out of a shipment that was still in the back. .

[@GrikWorldNomad]

Great tribute, truth. Thanks.

[@chuckemm9676]

[@goat2558]

I've asked other people this question and never received a very good reply. I assume your first language is Portuguese but you appear to be very good with English as well. Which brings me to this question, A lot of English language bands have really great followings in countries where English isn't the first language. So do the people in those countries understand what the songs are saying? Is English that well understood in say Portugal? I know that very few Americans have a working knowledge of other languages which is why bands from non English speaking countries don't have the huge followings here that Springsteen and others have over there. In fact it seems that being multilingual is now being frowned upon in these strange times American's find ourselves living in..

Back in '84 this girl (who would later become my girlfriend) gave me her Walkman and the cassette of Born To Run. I remember staying up all night listening to that. It's been quite a few decades since we last parted by I am still grateful to her for this gift. This is my favorite Springsteen song by far and this version is my favorite. I am a changed man for the rest of the day. I am enjoying it.

When I was young this man's music left a huge impression on me.. Made me want to continue to be a responsible, respectful, thoughtful young man who wanted to give something back... in life. Bruce, I can't thank you enough!!
