Chorus:
Well the midnight gangs assembled
And picked a rendezvous for the night
They'll meet 'neath that giant Exxon sign
That brings this fair city light
Man there's an opera out on the turnpike
There's a ballet being fought out in the alley
Until the local cops, cherry tops, rips this holy night
The street's alive as secret debts are paid
Contact's made, they vanished unseen
Kids flash guitars just like switch-blades
Hustling for the record machine
The hungry and the hunted
Explode into rock'n'roll bands
That face off against each other out in the street
Down in Jungleland

My wife and i rushed our wedding date because my father was dying of cancer. He was my best man. My son pushed him down the aisle to the sax solo to the alter. On this day, one last time, my dad stood up to his feet on his own for the very last time to hug my wife to be. I'll never forget him and his love for Bruce and this song.

[@tzurlerner7054]

Bruce is in our souls so many years.

[@TimeWillTellAll]

Thanks for sharing.

[@anelladambrosio2513]

[@cesarzunigany]

Happy you had that moment with your dad. God bless.

[@mikemonchuk7087]

That is a truly touching heartfelt emotional story. I'm so so sorry for your loss but your Father lives in the hearts of you and your wife and all those that he touched just by living a true life. This song along with your Father are purest of the soul God Bless all that this story has touched and God Bless your Dad. Never to be forgotten. Just look inward to your heart and soul. Many many blessings!!!

The Greatest sax solo in modern Rock History!❤️Miss you Big Man!

[@williamdevizia1059]

It is amazing.... Springsteen wrote this solo note for note, and Clarence plays it verbatim.

[@patrickkelly2451]

​@williamdevizia1059 Yes I beleive there's a scene of Bruce and Clarence in the documentary of The Making of Born to Run that shows this.😊

[@darrellminx5459]

Best heartfelt sax Solo in the history of the world 🌎

[@omanmc]

I'm in tears this is so wonderful and happened almost 50 years ago. Immortal Clarence Clemons and his epic sax solo!

[@jshim100]

Hammersmith Odeon 75, one of the greatest rock concerts in history, this recording is a treasure, Bruce's voice is so powerful, so clear, so moving.

[@dylanmyers3082]

O yes that is so true bruce give his life in this gig never to be repeated especially especially these day's

[@johnstanley5499]

Ya it was unreal love bruce and the e street

[@markalexander6517]

I had never seen this until tonight. I had a bootleg audio copy un the late 80's, until my car got cleaned out. This is special.

[@GrikWorldNomad]

@@markalexander6517 wow! Hammersmith was great for me because the band is so young but tight. Most of the clips floating around these days are still great but more polished. The one I really really want disappeared about 10 years ago: Independence Day with a prologue about Bruce's teen years. His dad saying turn down that goddamn guitar, sneaking through the kitchen at night etc

[@Goldie-dw3pd]

Not many people can put Rat in a song, it just gives so much deepth to the struggles and raw magnitude of living in Jersey back in the day. That's why so many people loved him. Struggling, with passion!

[@wrogerwhallet5709]

Hammersmith 1975 Must come to movie theaters w/ excellent sound systems

[@michaelj2528]

No matter how many times I hear Clarence Sax solo it always touches my heart and soul, I remember those I loved and are no longer here. We miss you BIG MAN RIP

One of the best sax solo's in this song in history. He made it look so easy.

JUST so beautiful! OMG!

The Big Man's solo is one if the best pieces of individual performance in the history of rock. So freaking powerful

[@jdenino6022]

it's f'n incredible.

[@helgebremnes5692]

Many years ago I bought this conceert. I thought it was a CD, and when I tried to put it in the CD player in the car nothing happened, The change in mood from the moment that the CD didn't work to the moment I discovered that this was a DVD is the most extreme change in mood ever. This DVD ios one of the best thing on the planet, ever!

[@atom786]

the shot of the big man stepping up to the mic before his big solo....i mean that's cinema right there

[@dylanmyers3082]

Best concert in history

[@paulsullivan1650]

My favorite "Boss" song. Quite easily one of the greatest songs ever written...

[@oooo8493]

❤️🙌

[@flarrfan]

Bruce's best lyrical poetry, especially from the sax solo to the end.

[@Grendel53]

No argument here.

[@andrewblackburn1426]

This song changed my mind about Springsteen, in a good way. I was pretty indifferent to him before I heard this song.

[@Notfooledindependentmind65]

The power .. the poetry .. much like Zeps live Since I’ve been loving you . A masterpiece !!!

[@cameronlang3628]

Seeing the Big Man’s son take his place the tour after he passed was one of the most emotional things I’ve seen. RIP Big Man.

[@googoo-gjoob]

Oh ya agree love the big man

Hes his nephew x

That might be the best rock'n'roll video of all time

[@scottmarks389]

I had very strong opinions that evening two years ago.

[@louisjouvet4548]

Bruce and his band were at the week of theyre art. Nobody made music like that before or after. The poetry, the storytelling, the music... Juste geatness.

[@jannaf1sher]

This is the 1st album I ever bought on my own. I was 13/14? I listened to this masterpiece over and over every night in my bedroom,in the dark; with headphones. This album is a Journey unlike any I’ve ever experienced. Born To Run is my favorite album,and “JungleLand” is my favorite song. When Bruce hits those guttural,passionate screams and moans at the end,,, if you’re not in the fetal position scared as Hell on your bedroom floor… flip the record and start over. Clarence’s Solo sends this song to the depths of my soul..RIP Big Man…

[@patrickkelly2451]

@jannaf1sher well said.Bruce's passionate haunting vocals at the culmination of this masterpiece speak louder than any words ever could.I feel it in my soul. Goosebumps!

[@patriciafrances2654]

This is hands down the best live version of this song; classic Bruce and the Big Man, and 45 years later I am still blown away every time I hear it. I wore out this track on my vinyl LP (that my 29 year old daughter has now permanently “borrowed “) Seeing Bruce live in the 70’s was truly a magical time.

[@yourdailydoseofnegativity189]

This version and the version from 1999-2000 at Madison Square Garden absolutely

[@valnaples]

Clarence just NAILED it....missing our BIG MAN!

[@suzyvials319]

This is THE gig. Thunder road, in fact everything from this gig is PERFECT. ❤

[@TheJackflash85]

Me too!

[@danalawton2986]

Nothing pretentious.... just raw poetic rock at the highest level.

[@ginarichards6307]

I am just laying here thinking I would pay $5 million to have been at this show. The song is brilliant, it's beautiful, it's gritty. It's everything

[@jahl1163]

The greatest sax solo ever. That's it.

[@d.e.b.b5788]

In rock'n'roll. Paul Gonsalves jazzed up Newport in 1956, with another: Paul's solo starts at 3:47, but the whole song kicks ass. He went on for 27 choruses, and this performance brought Ellington's band back to the forefront of live jazz for another decade, when all the other bands were dying off. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6esf56vmM2JpsU

[@nickpro11]

They don't make them like Clarence anymore. This song moves me to tears every time. What a soul

[@Mulavi]

"Beneath the city two hearts beat..." So begins some of the greatest last two verses of any song - ever.

[@NinoslavRupic]

The last time he yelled "Down in Jungleland" on his own.

[@bethpitsor5808]

16 and on the hood of a mustang,, the stars are bright,,, I grew up with Clarence and sax.. never knew what we were a part of!

[@ericlipe4883]

when audiences showed respect. no one screaming nonsense when the music gets soft. because they knew what they were watching was brilliance!

[@TelBil2010]

Got goosebumps and tears in my eyes for all the good people iv lost over the years x

[@palacerevolution2000]

I love the early Springsteen shows. When they were truly a tough band. You can hear the Strats, all the guys in the NJ white Fedoras - it's classic. Bruce looks like Serpico. That solo...

[@dorothyg3012]

I've been listening to Bruce Springsteen on the tapes and cd's for years but not until I discovered these live videos did I really get it. I get moved beyond words when I watch these beautiful poetic, soulful renditions of his music in the 70's, 80's etc. Every member in the E St band gives something incredible to the sound. I watch them sometimes 'til the wee hours of the morning. What was I doing back in the 70's when all this was going on? Oh yes, getting married, moving into my first apartment, losing my first husband in an accident, so much of life and the drama of living are remembered in the passion of these songs. I do have a time machine, no wait, time stands still when I listen to these songs. Thank you Bruce and the E St band. I wonder if you know how much you have given.

[@oooo8493]

I only watch the live version because of the passion.

[@wobblyjack9481]

Great post. ☮️

Both Stevie and the Big Man kill their solos. Such a terrific song/poetry.

[@gggorgeous6765]

I've heard hundreds of live versions but this one is the closest to the album I've heard. Love the original band. Not the same with the 8 other people he added. This is raw, original, and authentic.

[@valerietomsic8454]

AGREED! It's a beautiful live version of a FABULOUS old song! RIP Mr. Clemons....we all still miss you!

[@starpowermike2846]

Who are the 8 other people he added? Five of them are playing on this song. Same piano, same bass, same drums, same sax, same guitar except for Nils Lofgren. All five played on the born to run LP.

[@gggorgeous6765]

@@starpowermike2846 I'm referring to his current lineup with horns, violin, singers, etc. I know things were added on the original recordings but this is pure and live with the original core band.

[@JefAlanLong]

Danny is a tremendous loss too, the dreamy incidental organ bits are a hugely underestimated factor in 70s E street.

[@mikejay2900]

Memorable song lyrics sung with intensity backed by talented musicians. Wonderful timeless classic

[@cipollanera1]

Bruce is having a rapture moment. Just like me.

[@bob1ess]

Clarence's sax solo brings me to tears every time I hear this. I saw them live for the first time in OKC in 77. I had never seen greatness live until then. You don't go to a Springsteen concert, you go to church and Bruce leads the service. This is the spirit that is rock and roll. This is truth, this is tragic, this is greatness. The shots of intimacy between Bruce and his music are timeless and need no words.

[@mikemonchuk7087]

I couldn't agree more. Ladies and gentlemen Church is in session. I ask you to turn to page 28 and read from the book of John, Adam, and Springsteen!!! Well said my friend.

[@matthewmoyer2314]

Very well said. God Bless. It's wonderful to know others appreciate how wonderful this is. Thank you. Matthew in Atlanta.

[@johnstanley5499]

Me too rite to tears your not alone love it

[@danbongard3226]

Bruce and the E Street Band were a major figure in my childhood (born in '72 in Philly). My dad took me to see them for the RIver and Born in the USA tours. Thanks, Dad. :)

[@feiny5008]

A rock and roll icon genius in the prime of his youth singing a masterpiece Cool thing is it was too early for audience to be singing every single word. As they do now And who knew then that the young man shredding that guitar solo would be a mainstay of the greatest TV show of all time a mere quarter century later??lol

[@colinperkins7564]

This is it. It’s Brando in Streetcar, De Niro in Taxi Driver. It’s the pinnacle of what the art form can achieve. The best there’ll ever be.

[@marting4597]

The greatest song ever written.

[@lindacole7393]

Yup. THIS version, of THIS song, truly is a masterpiece, among all of pop rock and roll. Take a bow, boys!! : ))

[@jolevine2603]

How does anyone put thumbs down on this? It's just brilliant! He was only 24? Who can do that?!

[@user-zr9bh7nq3m]

If you don't get the chills at the end of this unbelievably great song. You are not alive. I sing this song from the beginning to the end. Since I first heard it way way back in the middle 70s or earlier. But I get the chills every time still. Growing up in north Philly in the 60d and 70s getting shot at every weekend. I felt that Bruce was hanging on the back streets of North Philadelphia pa. With me and my buddies. One of the greatest songs ever written ever

[@BCD1964]

One of America's most brilliant writers and singers...may you live 1000 years Mr.Springsteen

[@vincentberte7675]

This whole concert is just so insanely RAW and gritty, it's just so awesome, I can't stop listening....

[@danielmcdonough4279]

Out of every song ever made, I, and every other person, have heard a small fraction of them. There’s no way this isn’t one of the best songs ever made

[@54chewbacca]

Easily my favorite Springsteen song of all time

[@superbirden57]

Truly a masterpiece. A perfect album with an unparalleled ending.

[@tambyrlane]

I challenge today's bands to write something this astoundingly magnificent. Chills.

[@mojogypsy]

You had to see him live back then to really understand how absolutely terrific a songwriter and bandleader he was…

[@patrickkelly2451]

To think this was new material from Bruce with the release of Born to Run.Truly Amazing to witness Arguably The Greatest Album in Rock History being performed live.I don't think the audience fully realized what they where witnessing.A Fucking Masterpiece so full of Soul and passion that I feel blessed that Bruce uploaded it.By the way this is dedicated to my old co-worker Greg.He sawthis tour in Philly at the Tower theatre and told me how fucking incredible it was.To Greg G RIP I'm sure your at the Copa 2 (local bar downtown philly Greg loved to go to after work)in the sky,thanking God for having you attend Springsteens Born to Run tour in Philly 1975

[@n-Fold]

A resonating, like integrated voices in a cathedral, like ancient voices, of men, of instruments, telling stories of metal and the sweetness of love. So very much alive. A melding of lives in a moment in time. Thank-you so much for allowing this work to come into being. Made my night tonight.

His music should be in any Time capsule ever put away Genius

[@gh0strats]

One of my fav parts of any song starts at ~6:17 (right after the incredible sax solo) with the professor Roy Bittan on the piano - easily my fav piano pieces in a song... surreal, magical just incredible in keeping with Bruce's tone and lyrics. Injustice this song only has north of 300,000 views mid 2022.

[@andrewblackburn1426]

Amazing how delicate and careful this part sounds, compared to some of the really bold parts. The live version seems more ornamental than the studio version, which is already killer. The arpeggios at 8:25 are pretty nuts, too.

[@imstelios]

The JungleLand solo by the Big Man is “Stand Alone” a masterpiece that will/can never be out done or surpassed. It was a special gift at a special time for a special generation of music lovers!

[@philipr1567]

"They wind up wounded, not even dead" Damn, that line gets me every time.

[@juliemclagan]

heartbreaking

[@tzurlerner7054]

The light touched you friend

[@cc-qq1gt]

Still get chills from this. Quick blurb if I may share. The 1st time hearing Jungleland was a show in Central Park. Small concerts were held in a closed down ice skating rink (Wolman Rink I believe?). Guess it was '75; had graduated high school that year. When the band started playing Jungleland it was perfect; a warm balmy summer night in NYC and you could see the smoke rising with the haze as Clarence played the sax and the bank play; everyone had chills...

[@susanzito6466]

That sounds amazing

[@terryagent2738]

65 years old yesterday .. first saw him July '78 .. over 44yrs ago in Jackson MS .. going again KC next Feb .. just as excited today as all that time past .. I'm sure there plenty more out there that feel the love, the passion, the power, the meaning of his music!

[@jonathanlovelace8833]

Solo just blows my mind imagine being Springsteen the first time he heard it

[@drewdavis4614]

That is the Absolute Best video of a song I have ever witnessed, I grew up wanting to be Bruce Springsteen in my bedroom in Massachusetts in 1974 listening to my 8 track portable player and jumping around my room with my Silver tone Guitar... The best singer song writer there will ever be, Much Love & Respect!!!! xox

[@MareShoop]

Bruce, what a cutie pie he was in ‘75 💕

[@briangarrow448]

Graduated in ‘77. Was in a union apprenticeship program traveling across the western United States and listening to the Boss. This was the soundtrack of my youth. RIP- Clarence.

[@jerseyboy84]

OH I need it! Let me hear that sweet sound of Clarence's sax solo. What an amazing feeling you get, at least me anyway, hearing him playing that solo. Love it!

[@onnietalone3181]

Sadly missed you could count on him, and I think him and bruce were like brothers, must be hard for the boss,, time heals all wounds but the scar never goes away, R.I.P.!

[@lisa2792]

What a masterpiece!! The Sax solo, piano and energy of the whole band are just bone chilling! I could listen to this song all day. RIP BIG MAN LOVE YA !!

[@classygary]

If The Boss and Co. never wrote another thing, I would be ok with just this, because it stands on its own, as a masterpiece.

[@laureldonald6213]

My favorite song from my favorite album of Bruce's long history of music. I had the 8 track, and would stay up all night until daylight listening to the whole Born to Run album through my head phones. Something about the house being dark and everyone else asleep, just me and the music. Boy it was so powerful, hit my 16 year old soul!

[@129tiny]

Absolutely. Those were the best nights.

[@keithwatkinson4892]

Me and you too.

[@sibeex]

Still speechless

and does anyone else think the whole taking off the hat and putting back on was choreographed? hysterical.

[@keithmoon8838]

Oh dear...poor wee Davey Boy has wet his pants again 😂😂

[@strangetribe]

Right before Clarence lights it up like nothing I have ever heard, Springsteen utters this wonderful piece of poetry…. “In the parking lot the visionaries dress in the latest rage Inside the backstreet girls are dancing To the records that the DJ plays Lonely-hearted lovers struggle in dark corners Desperate as the night moves on Just one look and a whisper, and they're gone..”. Ohhhh my. What a musical moment

[@michaelreidperry3256]

“E Street” is a distant time and place I’ve imagined since I first heard this in masterpiece 1975 as legendary. Ground Zero for this legendary song and album.
