First Time Hearing Bruce Springsteen - Dancing In The Dark (Reaction!)

[@lizclarke5893]

The girl is Courteney Cox, mainly known for Friends!

[@rockmetalplaylists5595]

And the "Scream" movies

[@imthemanntoo]

Clarence Clemons was a founding member of Bruce's band, "The E Street Band", playing sax with them from 1972 through his death in 2011. Clarence's nephew Jake Clemons joined in 2012, and still plays sax with Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band.

[@yu2gm]

OMG, I loved Clarence and his sax. RIP

[@flutesong5527]

Clarence was always with Bruce and they were best friends and devoted to the band. Clarence is the MAN

[@Mainecoonlady.]

The group is his called The E Street Band. They’ve been together over 50 years. Clarence was on sax and one of Bruce’s closest friends. Sad he passed young. Bruce took it hard. The girl on stage is from Friends, played Monica Geller.

[@HandyRandy3200]

I'm on fire is my favorite song by Bruce

[@chrischar9428]

Nobody talks about Cox dressing and looking like Springsteen

[@rockmetalplaylists5595]

"I'm On Fire"

[@hannejeppesen1809]

The saxophone player is Clarence Clemons, the big man. The band is the E street band and played with Bruce for years, and still does. Clarence passed away some years ago. I got to see him live, in Mill Valley in Northern California, his mother lived in the area, and sometimes he would show up at popular music joint Sweetwater, what a treat.

[@blindsurvival8570]

Clarence Clemons(the sax player) was part of the band since forever. He was one of Bruce’s greatest friends, when Clarence died, Bruce all but quit his band. Now, Clarence’s son plays sax for the band. And the girl dancing on stage is Courtney Cox, from Friends.

[@surlechapeau]

Jake Clemons is Clarence's nephew

[@juliestogner2542]

I met Clarence before. Briefly but still met him. Very nice. I used to work at a coliseum where Bruce was playing. Met him backstage while everyone was working hard to get everything ready

[@debbers]

Yes, that is Clarence Clemons the best Saxophone player in the business. He and Clarence were together for the duration. Her name is Courtney Cox and this was her first appearance anywhere!

[@luciemurphree1597]

This video was FIRE back in the MTV Days!! Great song!

[@davidvsr]

Born in the USA is another gem

[@trishadelphia]

I love witnessing someone listening & being moved by Bruce! He’s so important to me, & when others see what I do, it’s beautiful

[@trishadelphia]

And check out his song/album ‘the Rising’, which he performed at Obama’s inauguration

[@eschaflowne]

It’s the E Street Band, man! It’s (almost) always his band with him.

[@Jeffy732]

Great song from Bruce used to get me in the mood for a good night out in my youth.

[@lisarutherford8877]

That is Monica from Friends!

[@polgara3000]

The Boss! 😍

[@bigdaddypiggy]

I was just becoming a teenager when this came out & this was HUGE!!!!

[@SassyIndian]

My hometown and Glory Days by Bruce Springsteen are great songs ❤❤❤

[@reality1958]

Fun fact. Bruce’s drummer was Max Weinberg. Max Weinberg was the band leader for the Conan O’Brien show in Conan’s earlier days.

[@RavenFire4]

Bruce was finally back in the day 😘🥰

[@mikewilder8838]

Thunder Road is one of my favorite Bruce songs.

[@professorstewart6379]

This is my favorite Springsteen song. It's so fun to listen to.

[@TheNotedHero]

For some reason I've always loved songs about songwriters' struggles to get their inspiration back. There's an Australian singer Missy Higgins and her song "Set Me On Fire" is also about that. Her lyrics are great, one standout from it is "And the bones that once moved my fingers over keys are protesting in fist on my knees". Such a good way to describe the songwriting block!

[@aliciasaracino1233]

Bruce and Clarence were the best of friends. They had a close bond all through the years till the day Clarence died.

[@graemey]

Perfect time to listen to Bruce's 'Girls in their Summer Clothes'.

[@melissatuel862]

One of my generation's themes

[@kelleewolfe2834]

This is my favorite Springsteen song!

[@aircap]

THE BOSS FOREVER. You need to hear “My Hometown…”

[@billallen1307]

Born to Run.

[@taylormoye7098]

East Street Band is synonymous with Bruce❤

[@davidvsr]

come on baby the laughs on me....love it

[@DonnasArizonaAdvenrures]

Most singers have their own band. Those guys are his band.

[@mikethej4218]

Vintage Springsteen performing Rosalita live in Phoenix(1976) is a classic...Lyrics not so easy to understand, but it captures the mood of Bruce Juice!!

[@ksborder]

Loved the early years so much. Saw him in 1978 for the 1st time.

[@staceyrobinson771]

"This guns for hire" ❣️❣️❣️

[@vodriscoll]

The girl he pulled out of the audience is Courtney Cox. She was one of the 6 main characters on the TV show "Friends". She also starred in the "Scream" movies.

[@suzannebaker5270]

Thanks!

[@sherribrock2726]

The E Street band was always had the same people. When Clarence, the sax player, passed away it took a while for Bruce to recover from that. They not only were band mates they were great friends!!

[@lisarhae9692]

Gotta listen to "Thunder Road"!! A Springsteen classic!! PS- The band's name is The E Street Band!!

[@lisarhae9692]

Courtney Cox from Friends is the gal that went on stage.

[@stevehamilton8824]

The dance called the "Carlton" by Alfonso on the Fresh Prince of Bel Air was partly taken from the dance with Courtney Cox and Bruce in this video. You can definitely see the similarities. Such a great tune. RIP Clarence Clemons - Amazing Sax player!! Clarence has been with the E Street Band from the beginning. Bruce and the E Street Band have been together for a long time. Bruce gets a lot of the credit (and so deserved) but, he will be the first to tell you his band is an integral part of his music.

[@staceyrobinson771]

The Boss ❤️ All American ❤️‍🔥💯

[@SRG1966]

Hed been a star for 10 years when this revived his career. The whole album is fire .

[@revaflowers3115]

Bruce's group was The E Street Band and Clarence Clemons was a member of the band.

[@RiverSong5683]

That girl he pulled up was Courtney Cox before she played Monica on Friends. ^_^

[@nicelydone31]

the young lady is Courtney Cox from Friends tv show and the Scream franchise. When she was very young and before she messed up her beauty with cosmetic surgery.

[@cookypuss8603]

One of the guitarist in the E Street Band the guy always wearing a bandana starred in The Sopranos. He played Silvio who was Tony's number 2 guy.

[@Mike-hg7xt]

6:44 Courteney Cox. You know her as 'Monica' from the tv show 'Friends' This was before she got famous.

[@chrisjamieson3452]

The Boss is sending a message. They are receiving.

[@suzannebaker5270]

Oh, Shon! You always make me smile!

[@Pauba1946]

The girl is Courtney Cox- Monica from Friends and front e Scream Movies.

[@akdec0092]

Gotta check out The River (preferably live in 1980) or I'm on Fire next. His big hit Born in the USA is good too (but you need to listen to the lyrics of it).

[@BrentWeiner]

Bruce is a group. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.

[@suzyhomemaker-xv2bw]

LOVE Clarence Clemons on sax. Please react to Clarence & Jackson Browne doing "You're A Friend of Mine". RIP Clarence ! Thanks for the music & memories.

[@TeresaMount-t9o]

Love his energy!

[@mikeharris3733]

Bruce is backed by the E Street Band. Sax player Clarence Clemons is one of the band members. FYI, the video is shot to look like a concert, but it's not. The girl is Courtney Cox AKA Monica from Friends.

[@empyrealone]

Courtney Cox, Monica from Friends

[@mtthswlczk5391]

Jungleland live at hyde park from bruce. One of the best songs of all time

[@EShelby2127]

"Directed by Brian De Palma, the video was shot at the Saint Paul Civic Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota, on June 28 and 29, 1984. The first night was a pure video shoot, the second was on the opening date of the Born in the U.S.A. Tour. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed the song twice during that show to allow De Palma to get all the footage he needed. The video is a straight performance video, with Springsteen not playing a guitar, allowing him to invite a young woman from the audience, performed by Courteney Cox, to dance along with him on the stage at the end."

[@jimwilcox2964]

Did it twice? Guess that helps explain how thay got those clear closeups of Cox to cut in. Always wonder how the camerman and Bruce picked the same girl unless it was just by the seat number, she was a plant, or there were other closeups not used

[@jimwilcox2964]

Another song writers block that bevame a hit was for Chicago. 25 or 6 to Four. As in 3:34 or 3:35 am and I'm still up trying to write a song

[@hannejeppesen1809]

Like Obama said when he gave him a medal (forgot what it was called) I might be the president, but he is the boss. Bruce along with Pete Seeger and many other singers sang at the Capitol steps at Obama's inauguration "This Land is your Land, this Land is my Land".

[@rmacdougallaliasdogviticus]

'Thunder Road' next please. Bruce has had the same band pretty much forever Shon. The E Street Band. The girl at the end, I think this was Courtney Cox's big break into show buissness getting chosen to dance with Bruce by Brian De Palma the Director. Then she was cast in Friends and the rest is History.

[@michellemiller5620]

Creativity comes from frustration

[@stangman1268]

the song philadelphia is really good from the movie of the same name with tom hanks,a good movie btw.

[@RavenFire4]

Bruce was fine back in the day 😘🥰

Clarence The Big Man Clemons. All are part of Bruce's band The E Street Band.

[@gizmo5925]

Listen to "Hungry Hearts." The song mentions Baltimore, my hometown.

[@GilbertGonzalez-q1b]

Bruce called Clarence “ the Big Man” little Steven ( guitar player) used to be the TV series “The Sopranos”

[@Pauba1946]

He also had his own series “Lilyhammer “ on Netflix. It is the first series I ever watched on Netflix.

You should check out "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out" (LIVE '75-'85) Clarence Clemons was a long time member of The E-Street Band.

[@RavenFire4]

Clarence Clemons was a Goat! RIP❤

[@itsjezzer]

This video is pretty much responsible for launching Courtney Cox's career. Following this she did an arc playing Alex Keaton's girlfriend on "Family Ties" and landed a main role on the short-lived "Misfits of Science," but it was "Friends" that made her a household name.

[@iamangee]

I’m more of a casual fan of Bruce, but wouldn’t consider him one of my favorites. With that said, his concert (along with Stevie Wonder’s) were probably the best I’ve ever seen live, and I’ve seen a lot of legendary artists live. His band is incredible whether you know the songs or not.

[@barbkubik9524]

It might sound a little strange to recommend a Christmas song, but you should check out the live version of Santa Claus Is Coming to Town. It's a great one to showcase the energy of the band. You can't help but smile 😁

[@josephcox736]

Courtney Cox!

​@lorikisiel9367 yet you consider pedophiles and liars and murderers cool? Okay

[@lorikisiel9367]

@@keriholton9407 Absolutely not, but none of those people I mentioned-- Bruce Springsteen, Barack Obama, and Paul McCartney are any of the heinous, evil descriptions you list above. Unless you have PROOF, not conspiracy theories, I advise you not to just believe whatever you want, or as the Bible says, "Believing false prophets who tell them what their itching ears want to hear." As a Christ follower, I follow TRUTH because Jesus is Truth, and people who claim to be Christians are not to follow what the Bible calls conspiracies, gossip, and slander, which by the way, God puts in the category of heinous sin as the pedophiles, liars, and murderers you rightly condemn. Why don't you search for the truth, and find the real ones. By the way, if you think you are going to come at me with these filthy lies and I'm going to back down, if you think I will be intimidated with your insults and bullying, you better have a lot of time on your hands because I can do this all day.

That’s Courtney cox before she was discovered. She starred in friends and many movies years after this. This was not a faked video it actually happened that he pulled her out of the audience.

No, she was chosen to get pulled up there by the Director, Brian De Palma.

The whole Born to Run album is fantastic. Love this song too, but not one of best of his....that's saying something 😊

[@CatherinePearl100]

This was Courteney Cox’s big break.

[@scottNNJ]

This song introduced many people (myself included) to Bruce Springsteen, but it’s really not authentic Bruce. Take away the choreographed dance and give him an acoustic guitar and you’ve got Bruce. “The River” is my all-time favorite of his. Much slower, much more emotional, brilliant lyrics.

[@michaelwalker5257]

Just to say: Dancing in the Dark is fun . . .and to me, it's one of his LEAST important or artistic songs. He's got DOZENS of those others. I'll let others name them.

[@andrewmcclure2378]

The East Street Band has been with him from pretty much the beginning. A young Courtney Cox ages the video a little.
