He's the boss! BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN Tenth avenue freeze out REACTION - First time hearing

[@raynavarro7997]

Now that you've heard the studio version you HAVE to react to the live from New York, a 20 minute masterpiece where Bruce and the E Street Band take you to church!

[@bryandaves1005]

YES! As with most of my favorite bands/artists, Bruce and the E Street Band are built for the live experience. That version is soooooo good

[@TheMazzFactor]

I concur, one of the best live performances ever.

[@MikeWalsh-f1g]

Bruce now uses this song live as a tribute to Clarence and other lost band members. Thanks Harri love the Bruce reactions and it's good to hear the studio version! Try She's The One from the same album.

Tenth Avenue ran through E Street in Belmar, New Jersey. That's where the band got its name. It's also the cross streets of David Sancious' house -- the original pianist in the band (Sancious went on to play a lot of fusion jazz and was in Sting's solo band for years). The song relates the struggles of Bruce and the band in its early days, playing clubs along the Jersey Shore, most memorably in Asbury Park. Thanks Uncle Phil & Harri.

I love this song. Bad Scooter is Bruce Springsteen, and the Big Man is indeed Clarence Clemons. The live version from the New York City concerts is not to be missed.

[@bradsense7431]

Saw Bruce three times late seventies early eighties. First time in the Uptown Theatre in Chicago in 1978. A old classic smaller theater beautifully ornate. We sat first row balcony just off center which is like being eight rows back and nobody in your way. What a treat that show was. About three hours worth of a great time.

[@debbiechang5781]

One of my favorite Springsteen songs. I love it! This was a great choice. Thanks Harri and Uncle Phil 🌺✌️

[@davebzen795]

U.P. - This was a fabulous submission choice for the catalog and career of The Boss! This song is also one of many favorites when he performs it live. Either way, this is top-shelf Springsteen. Harri, Great review!

[@blade3184]

Harri I have a great story that will give you chills. I have seen Bruce in concert 108 times and after his tour in 1988, Bruce temporarily fired everyone in the band except his piano player Roy Bittan. In 1992 he went on tour with a new band and in 1993 played a benefit concert in New Jersey for the daughter of his manager who was seriously ill. I of course was going to that show. Earlier in the day, Clarence was on a sports radio station in New York City being interviewed by Christopher "Mad Dog" Russo. Chris, who is a huge Springsteen fan, asked Clarence if there was any chance he would make a surprise appearance at the concert that night. Clarence was playing coy and didn't say one way or another he would be there. Well I go to the show and everyone is wondering will Clarence show up. The concert is going on for hours and still no Clarence. Then Bruce brings out Little Steven for some songs. After almost 4 hours, Bruce starts playing Tenth Avenue Freeze Out and the crowd is going crazy waiting for that line in the song "A change was made uptown and the big man joined the band." Well when he sang that line, Clarence comes out through the tunnel playing his sax solo. I'm telling you in 108 shows, that was the loudest moment I ever heard at a Bruce show. I thought the roof was going to fly off!! I never thought I could relive that moment until I found out someone in the upper deck was recording with some old camera and the video is on youtube.

A fantastic song. Instant pep-in-your-step rhythm.

[@marybaillie8907]

Horns horns horns.🎺🎺🎺🎷🎷🎷 Such a great groovin tune, from Bruce's 1975 album," Born to Run". Every aspect of this tune is sheer perfection, from Bruce's vocals, to Clarence the man,❤ the brillant piano, the horns, all excellent. Bruce was having trouble with the horn arrangement and called in Steve Van Zandt. Steve added some Memphis horn-type riffs giving the melody a New Orleans blend. Just quintessential Bruce. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Uncle Phil. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[@Sactown5472]

I agree the live version is so much better, makes you want to get up and dance.

[@John_Locke_108]

But for for a first time listen you always have to go with the studio version.

[@chopa2less]

Yep. You are correct about the Clarence Clemons reference - he was the big man.

[@pambennett3390]

So much fun to see in concert.

[@valerieh84]

This is my go to song when I am feeling low but it deserved a live version. You got it in one Harri, it is New Jersey Stax. Thank you Uncle Phil, keep the E Street band coming.

[@elainemarsh3477]

This is the origin story of the E Street Band. Love it.

[@christines1709]

This is a great song to hear live!

[@stevebaldwin8218]

Boss Harri, Saw Springsteen and after a 3.5 hr. show I was pooped and he was just getting to the encores... Peace and Love from Minneapolis..

[@tonydenucci3684]

The entire album is a masterpiece. Thunder Road kicks it off, Meeting Across The River segue into Jungleland is a perfect close.

[@petersneddon962]

As has been mentioned you now must react to the live video from official dvd NYC 2000.IMHO live there is no better performance!

[@clannad99germany70]

The Boss is just the Boss. He is one of the best ever.

[@A5Mag12]

His best.

[@nannerfly345]

Music brings back so many forgotten memories & I ❤ this channel because it's has become such a great Memory Bank for me!!! Springsteen appeared on many of my "Premade Mixed' music cassettes - which were a staple when I was growing up in the 70's & 80's. There was the ubiquitous 'Sad Break-Up' tape and the ever popular, 'Screaming Mad' tape for when I hated the whole world and I believe this song appeared on my 'Open Road' tape which I played when I was driving 'nowhere in particular' on a beautiful sunny day. Bob Seger, Guess Who, Tom Petty, CSN&Y, Carole King, Rod Stewart & the great Kenny Rogers appeared most often on my 'Premade' tapes. I wish I'd kept those tapes but they are long gone now so Thanks for the memories Harri & friends. Just curious - who was immortalized on your 'Premade' tapes?

[@josephmilitello647]

Steve Van Zandt, a friend of Bruce's since childhood, heard an early version of the song and criticized the horn arrangement. Bruce let him redo the arrangement, leading to Steve joining the band eventually. Scooter trying to find his groove in the lyrics refers to drummer Max Weinberg, if I remember correctly.

[@John_Chu]

Scooter refers to Bruce himself. Max Weinberg didn’t join the band until 1975 in the Born to Run sessions. Vini Lopez was Bruce’s drummer from 1968 to 1974.

[@John_Locke_108]

RIP Big Man.

[@kennethbrown5164]

Springsteen's best song!!

[@yvonnemendez3075]

[@yvonnemendez3075]

[@librarylady13]

[@donnadubyak6504]

Great song. Better seen live.

[@Nancy-n4o8k]

Uncle Phil please send live links. Like this song is so much better from one of his live shows.

[@xJRx77]

Scooter is Bruce and the Big man is Clarence!

[@pamnicklas5536]

Seeing Springsteen live is like having a religious experience!

[@nickrizzi4927]

Respect to Harri and all on board, but respectfully disagree with a few. Bruce live is a force of nature, but his studio work is always a preferred listening. Seen him over 20 times live and worn every album and tape to hell. Billy Joel one of a a very few that sounds equal live to LP. Prince, Connick Jr. Very few. Don't anybody bash me. Love Bruce shows, stories and Clarence! But, give me the CD unless I'm literally standing there.

[@trudymorris9981]

Not as uplifting, but Glenn Frey, You Belong to the City, has great sax. Maybe listen to him. Miami Vice vibes.

[@yvonnemendez3075]

U dont know crap 🎉

[@Scott_Forsell]

I like Bruce and the band, but that man cannot pronounce clearly with his singing voice. It's a mush.
