Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - Prove It All Night (Live in Houston, 1978)

[@scottpiper213]

Always felt like Springsteen never gets the credit that he deserves as a guitarist. Such an epically talented musician!

[@jkckmarcumful]

There may be some that are more technically proficient, but Springsteen plays with more passion than any other guitarist in history.

[@Caperhere]

🎶Well, I got this guitar, and I learned how to make her talk

[@jkckmarcumful]

For my money, I think he's the best. There's definitely no one better at leading a band. He puts his heart and soul in his music and performances. He's the boss.

[@peterrujanov7972]

[@donellefeltham]

I couldn’t agree more Scott, but boy did I get a dressing down from a Neal Shon fan who couldn’t see past his nose. It was Bruce and the EStreet Bands cover of Purple Rain , which for mine was brilliant. I happened to mention that I thought not only Bruce but Nils and Stevie, you just don’t get any better than that. Well after going ape shit on me, saying Neal was the best and if I was a fan of Journey I’d no that. What the jumped up little shit didn’t know, I’m also a huge fan of Steve Perry and Journey, but for mine I’d always thought yes Neal is a great guitar player, but sometimes his solos were far too long. What the little Creep didn’t know, is my Passion is Music and there’s not much I haven’t heard. I’ve been following Bruce since The Born to Run Album. Anyway I did read him the riot act and layed out my Credentials , and I never heard from him again.🎼♥️🇦🇺

If I was sentenced to having only 1 song to listen to for the rest of my life it would be this live version of prove it 😄

[@AnthonyLincoln-sg1py]

I agree. You have good taste when it comes to music

[@kevinwalsh4652]

As long as you know he stole his look and sound from John Cafferty, who would travel from RI to Jersey with Beaver Brown....he's whole act commandeered from someone else🤔🎵🎶

The piano work in these versions is god level.

[@mozfonky]

it's real telling that he never completely cut ties with Bittan, even when he dismissed the E street band, I think he always had Bittan around in some capacity.

[@bjamalaro]

I am obsessed with these '78 versions, I wanna listen to them all

That Piano syncopation at 1:06, oh my god, that gets me every time

[@johnnyM809]

Springsteen for me is incomparable in popular music, both as a songwriter and as a performer. He is just in a class of his own.

[@mivan5652]

I saw him live in Detroit in 78 for the first time when I was 17 and when this killer song was over, I turned to my friend and said “what the f*ck did we just see?” It was my epiphany moment in music…..I became a Bruce fanatic then and there and have seen him many, many times since. Always a great show. He leaves it all on the stage.

[@djedr5]

I was there. That was my second Bruce concert. Raw emotion, soul and power.

[@johnleslie2907]

I was there too. I saw him at Sam Houston Coliseum earlier in the year.

[@formermpc10]

I was there, too, but I didn't see either of you.

You lucky guy . I wish I had. Seen him 6 times but this would have been the dream time

Bruce and the band. Taking no prisoners.

Amen.

[@walesjs]

I was at a 1978 show (RPI fieldhouse). That buzzsaw of a guitar lead was so loud I can almost still hear it. I was deaf for two days. WORTH IT!

Greatest musical artist of all time, with the greatest band. He'll never be beaten. Seen him 21 times and still counting. Wish I was alive to see him back in the late 70's/early 80's.

[@michaelwilhelm2148]

Thank you for this video. I also saw Springsteen in 1978 on the campus of The Ohio State University. THIS song was the showstopper of the evening. I will NEVER forget that night! Incredible energy and raw power and energy. The fans in Houston really got a treat on this one! Bruce's show in Ohio did not have the opening 5:40 of excellent featured guitar intro. However, I'd say the last 5:15 of the song was much better at OSU. The venue was smaller and more intimate. Everyone in the audience was on their feet and dancing the entire song.

[@somosdeamstrad]

The Boss reminding youngsters why he received such a title! What a monster version! The initial solo is awesome 😱 😱 Great great version proving Bruce a good guitar player all night!

This song is best when it is a live '78 version! I mean, Springsteen's still a great artist, but this song works best with the long version of the guitar part from 2:21 ish. It always gets me jamming to it. Thank you Boss for delivering this epic version!

[@Treefort1]

I saw Bruce with my now departed brother, 1983, RIP, at the May 24th show at the Palace Theater in Albany N.Y.. I still have both of our stubs, reattached they form a single ticket, a nice metaphor of our bond. Bruce recently released on Spotify, a tour compilation, highlighting part of the set list. Good and fond memories. My brother also took me to my first show ever, Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, at the Palace. Blessed.

What can I say, awesome stuff from the boss🎶🎶

[@jamesalfano5740]

I saw the '78' tour at the Philly Spectrum. My favorite era of Bruce & most guitar drenched arrangements. Bruce would step on some kind of Super Booster pedal (not your everyday distortion pedal, maybe a channel switcher) for his leads, one of the most viscous sounds I've ever heard!

[@te2edgesportscards177]

This makes me cry with joy of life every time I hear it...one love.

Well that sure woke me up. Thanks Bruce and E Street Band. Love that tinkly circus music at the beginning.

I first saw Springsteen in 2012, at the baseball stadium in DC on the Wrecking Ball tour, and they opened with this “1978 version” of Prove It All Night. When the band came out on stage, as it was a baseball stadium, Roy was playing “Take Me Out To The Ballgame” on piano. Bruce pointed to a woman in the pit right up front (I was in the pit, too), and said, “We’re going to open by request tonight”, as she was holding a sign requesting this specific version.
