Eddie & The Cruisers II - Running Through The Fire final performance

[@dahvidden7545]

let's take a moment and thank the real band that played and wrote the music for both movies. The great John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band.

[@Kalentros]

Huzzah!!!

[@bbcala9719]

Yup, seen them at Penns Peak. Great guys, they came out into the crowd and played in front of us and I also met the Sax player. Such a memorable night out in Pennsylvania. John and the band were terrific.

[@anthonybush607]

Double ditto!

[@gerrymorin9507]

John cafferty and the beaver Brown band wow

[@versetripn6631]

Wow, 30 mins ago I caught a 'Triple B' reference in a movie and here is another...Beaver Brown Band. 222. Pop Culture "Influencers" out there like those doin tv, film and music, they do everything for a reason. The more a mid-aged man like me, who has lived in 4 decades of shifts and TRENDS, the more I see the patterns between those Spiritual Influencers using NUMBERS to manipulate people, and small, obscure details like a line from Tony Stark: "Am I running a BED and BREAKFAST for a BIKER gang?" The more these patterns can be seen for what they are, the less CONTAINED a person's brain becomes. THAT alone...is a real daily nightmare. Has been for me.

[@unicornforever138]

2024....still love these movies !!!

[@alyzu4755]

This is the most 80's thing that ever 80'd.

[@sibitsabat]

Yep, mix in roadhouse, dirty dancing, back to school and put in a time capsule. Cheers!

[@travisbayles870]

And me Im Eddie Wilson That was one of the best if not the best lines in the movie Rock on Eddie we love you

[@theresesouthworth227]

Without a doubt😂😊

[@craigbieggar3016]

One of the best movie endings..John Cafferty also was one of the most underrated bands. Great music

[@HalProctor]

Cafferty and Band needs to be in R&R HOF

[@hadmatter9240]

Cafferty should've made it. Eddie and the Cruisers only gave then some attention.

[@shellyosborn2410]

My husband and I were at the bon Jovi concert when they did this scene in the middle of the concert in Vegas. That was at the Mac center in Vegas.

[@jplafoot]

Cool

[@kathrynmolesa1641]

Two favorite music movies: Eddie and the Cruisers and The Commitments.

[@j.m.youngquist419]

I never get tired of this movie!

[@williamputman5988]

but we cannot forget Mr. Pare for making this movie happen.

[@shannonwhitfield8943]

My first blue eye love!!!!

[@PHILPOP2]

Talk about getting the right guy for the role. GOAT

[@kevinetherington570]

And John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown band

[@marypapak5759]

Michael Pare, what a handsome guy!!

[@prepperH.U.N.K]

Very underrated films (movies) and the music is brilliant

[@allisonmarlow184]

For s song that's 35 years old from an obscure but fabulous movie, this video is sure popping off. The movie might not have even made it to VHS in the day. Now look at it!!

[@heart14282]

I love this movie

[@danielmarek4609]

Always liked Part II best. The ending is pretty cool when you suspend disbelief and imagine what it would be like for something like that to actually happen. John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band did great with their music.

[@bintchyboo4176]

Crazy thing is I really similar thing happened in the 90s. An American musician got huge in South Africa, where it was rumoured that he died. There’s a pretty good doco about it called Searching for Sugar man.

[@maryellenshock]

I loved both of them!

[@Uncultured_Barbarian465]

John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band wrote awesome music for these movies. And my hat is off to Michael Pare for his performance as Eddie Wilson in both films. He was also good in Streets of Fire.

[@jplafoot]

This guy was a warrior.

[@thehiddengardenfilm2349]

Hands down - best rock-n-rool movie ever made! Music absolutely OUTSTANDING!!!!!

[@gerrymorin9507]

@thehidden absolutely right

[@allisonmarlow184]

Absolutely!

[@JM-db8ez]

Love it when *best* is trucked out. Woof, if this is the best then I guess you either haven't seen many rock movies or you're just very biased towards this one. But, hey, fun movie anyway.

[@janicecoffman6616]

My hands arent down, although Ive loved this movie for a long time, there are many more that could be considered the best. Everyone has their opinions, as is allowed.

[@fernandohernandez1692]

The end when he told the whole world that he is Eddie Wilson that was powerful and classic way to tell everyone that you never died. Classic movie classic .

[@terrancethomas9792]

Next step is sue Rick Eisen for the Season in He(( album monies. Then roll off some bridge and end up in Mexico somewhere.

[@sean4339]

I love both movies but I love the ending scene from the first Eddie and the cruisers movie,this one the ending was great also ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@catsofastypalea]

Holy chocolate balls, this scene was soooooo cool! Awesome music and Michael Pare is smoking’ 😁👌🏻🥰

[@mscottlawrence2037]

After eddie reveled himself that's when they should have played on the dark side

[@huddieentertainment]

Facts!

[@gilbertohlson6363]

Both Eddie and the Cruisers movies are vastly underrated. It's too bad they were more interested in selling the soundtrack than promoting the movie.

[@JM-db8ez]

Well there is some B level acting in a lot of it so let's not get too hyped. The music is great, lead actor is solid, the rest of the cast--it's up and down, a bit rocky, nothing over the top or bad but just--you know, middle of the road. It's alright. Movies are fun but don't think I'm putting them on any kind of pedestal.

[@isolda980]

Electric scene from a GREAT MOVIE! Thanks so much!

[@tydejong1580]

Music lives forever.

[@ChyarasKiss]

This still gives me shivers. 😊

[@bucky7851]

I saw the band at a very small college in Western NY about 40 years ago. My first concert. They were absolutely fantastic!!!!

[@charlesgerlach7059]

awesome movie, John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band were tops, saw them many times in the Boston and Cape Cod area in the late 70s. doing the college circuit and small clubs. always a great show

[@tjlove5471]

Grew up on this movie. Loved the characters, loved the music, and even as a youngster totally got the story…also wanted to grow up and marry an Eddie… still waiting 😂🎉

[@jenniferdifulvio8077]

Love this movie!

[@jodywilke4642]

Without Michael Pare's great performance in # 1& 2, these movies wouldn't have been half as good.😁

[@anneolsen4181]

Perfect!!!

[@pancakepierce]

And i"m Eddie Wilson_______------ the pause in the crowd while they process who is singing > GREAT

[@andyvanderheyden3190]

they were the opening act, imagine having to follow that

[@rodneyfowler1564]

Best movie ever!!

[@heru-deshet359]

One of the best movies ever made.

[@cb9d90]

i just re-watch both movies.. i agree

[@versetripn6631]

Took me awhile to recognize the first film was ALL about...The Day the Music, DIED

[@versetripn6631]

Hence..."I won't shortcut the MUSIC!"

[@davidgoble4182]

the actor playing eddie really sold it. the singing matches his voice and character. first time i watched it i had no idea he was lip syncing. then the album came out and i thought who are these guys ? lol!

[@davidfrederick6003]

Can you imagine a real life situation. The MASSIVE NEWS EPLOSION and wanting the interviews

[@KAriedoll]

I want to know what happened after. What was going on in the news 😂

[@debbiejackson3436]

Best movie! Awesome sound track!!!

[@hugh-iu7vo]

Great movie great music

[@barbararapson2352]

love both movies so much. the first band in part one had his heart but couldn't get the music he wanted done. the band in part 2 is the band Eddie needed

[@pennythomas9166]

very well said.

[@joycebrown1567]

Ok on big John cafferty and the Beaver Brown band were not given enough accolades!!! Fantastic, then and still!!!!

[@johnmcgee6297]

Just imagine how good the song would be if Toby Tyler was still in the band

[@dallaz7048]

It's too bad they didn't incorporate him back into the sequel. That would have been epic!

[@CecileRamsey-pc1io]

He sing his hole song by heart created his own and made his movies so I say both parts and at the end he played best one and that he was eddie himself to the band with his friends.😊

[@luannelarson536]

Yes love alot

[@WilliamjackOgilsbie]

great actor also

[@BonJovi1987Fan]

I noticed the stage they're performing on is bon jovi's new jersey stage.

[@brucerubenstein9102]

I had a friend who worked on this movie. This was filmed at the Thomas and mack arena in Vegas, before a bon Jovi concert. Good eye!!!

[@djtexicano]

I was about to comment on that too. I remember at the end of the movie credits, it said thanks to Bon Jovi.

[@gerathys]

... and me, I'm Eddie Wilson!

[@CecileRamsey-rm5kn]

This music I like ever in the hits.😊

[@johnblackhead2384]

It’s funny watching Quinn strumming his base instead of plucking. Did nobody in production notice? 😂

[@Sarasdad91]

John Cafferty, who was the voice of Eddie Wilson, is a great musician. Him and Bruce Springsteen were pretty much similar styles.

[@Knight14649]

Cafferty was so much better…

[@edwardbowers5509]

Yes I heard and saw John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band at the York College in York, Pa. Just after the movie came out they were definitely kick ass!

[@meghanortiz6790]

😮

[@njlauren]

Only thing wrong in this movie is eddie and his band don't kick the snot out of the record company guy. Talk to any musician, they will tell you there is no lower form of life than record conpany ppl.

[@MisunderstoodSpaceMarine]

[@jefflittle7066]

[@eagleforever6495]

They never should have made a part 2. Theres just certain movies you shouldnt do sequels to . This was one of them.

[@hadmatter9240]

That animation is pretty good...for the time.

[@luannelarson536]

The best part is me I am eddie Wilson

[@ChyarasKiss]

I’ve always wondered what happened afterwards. Who owns the rights to the lost tapes? Royalties. 😂

[@user-bu6tg6om5u]

Yes, im using you eddie .. and no i had no idea a version of you is married to me🤣 so, all people for this movie and outside are not going to live😂😂😂😂

[@versetripn6631]

For ANYONE who knows these films, their stories and the actual singer/group performing this music, keep this IRONY in-mind: Michael Pare' lip-sync expressions vs John Cafferty's almost EXPRESSIONLESS singing style. Point-being that Pare' exerted and strained his words while NOT singing while Cafferty's voice is ALL that we ever hear while in the video for 'On the Darkside', the guy looks like some creepy ASMR host. 🤤😣😎🤣

[@braden7843]

Shame they didn't choreograph the instruments to match the music, at the start it's clear Rick Diesel isn't playing the lead right

[@marcusfilbert9927]

Relax. You'll enjoy life more.
