Nils Lofgren - Across The Tracks

[@KOSMICKEN09]

Reminds me of those golden early days of MTV

[@RichardFriendartist]

MTV used to play this ALL the time...I mean it was in HEAVY rotation...getting really into him as a guitar player right now and had to revisit this!!

[@shawnuel]

I played this all the time back in the mid '80s on my college radio station. I couldn't play a lot of major label stuff but I made an exception for this and a few others.

[@szikchillypaddeh]

Sick! He can sing, he can play the guitar... and he can even do flips and breakdance. Just wow.

[@WheresMyKoppy]

My dad is a former gymnast, and he loved watching Nils do his moves. Of course, he and I both also appreciate the music. Aside from the Springsteen shows I went to, I saw Nils in an accoustic show around 1986 at a club in Dallas. Outside the club two young ladies tried to speak Swedish to him. He brought a chair outside the back of the club after the show and sat and talked to fans and signed autographs for a while. It was great.

[@LeStraTele]

Such a catchy song. Haven't heard it in a few years. Still sounds great.

[@craigkleber9316]

I had not heard this since early 80s... sounds even better now. Love it.

[@rickgehring7507]

Cool thing about this song is, it's only 3 mins, but it feels like it's 5 mins, I have never played this song for anyone who wanted to fast forward it while playing.....Fantastic song.

[@garygregory4842]

This chap is so underrated.

[@SheenHunter-SeattleFreeze]

This dude has some fancy footwork and seems to be a little ninja!

[@terrymcgough4528]

The flips are authentic. He is an accomplished gymnast. Used to turn flips off a little trampoline during his own live shows. Age prevents him now

[@xtian2900]

I will always remember this song.....

[@BettinaBalser]

God, what a great tune.

[@kevinobrien9626]

This was before he joined the E-Street, but it did not get airplay until afterward.

[@janebrilly4386]

Saw this guy live Awesome (uk) 😀😀😀

[@tigerdon8793]

I really like this song!!

[@flapjackson6077]

Yep, this song is as good as I remember it, listening on DC101. Nils was a well known musician in our area. I later saw him in concert as part of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, replacing Little Steven for the Born in the USA tour. He was doing back flips on a mini trampoline while playing. Pretty freekin cool! Turns out he was a gymnast in high school.

[@ldgolias]

I've never seen this video. Love the song!

[@ddave7026]

FINALLY FOUND THIS ONE

[@tristen7453]

Nils is such an underrated singer. Sure he's been spot on for E street Band but apart from that he really has a voice like an angel

[@rodrigoviegas606]

Nils, you are a musical genius! Love you, man! :-)

[@philemcd]

The version on Nils’ Night After Night live double album is fantastic

[@djsguitars01]

it's not on Night After Night - this track came out 5 years after the night after night album came out

[@sprake01]

Still the best video ever!

[@michaelwilkinson7638]

if you look up the word "FUN" in the dictionary, you might be referred to this video. What a blast!

[@johndrake2729]

Man, those flips ...

[@jimishawcross7409]

Would love to hear It's All Over Now from this LP/CD.....

[@TetchedFlame]

picked up an old vinyl of his for £6 the other week, tried to find how much it'd cost elsewhere, turned out at around £50 minimum, god bless independent music stores!

[@marcellino1956]

great song

[@MarkPentyStephenson]

Legend !!

[@trumpstop]

shoulda been in footloose. what a legend. played on Neil's Tonight's The Night and can bust a move to boot! un fucking real..

[@TetchedFlame]

arguably it should be worth more due to its epicness, but i'm glad he's underrated because I can afford his stuff

[@2msaint855]

Legend

[@王唯德-j6d]

美國歌壇的功夫小子~尼爾斯.洛夫格倫！ 勇！👍👍👍👍👍😤

[@azimuth361]

0:30 I totally stole this move. One night I tried it after we turned on the bubble machine which left soap all over the stage. I slipped and pulled my groin. That's what I get for stealing.

[@josephscott6388]

nils is so heartbroken by socioeconomic disharmony that dammit he's just got to dance.

[@larbueno]

I had the album, but I had no idea...

[@gonzo999]

Dude can dance too!

[@tommyboy6267]

True dat!

[@mikerundberg8301]

OK he passed the test to become a member of the E Street band

[@richardlofgren6679]

Are you related to Richard Lofgren?

[@larbueno]

I can't deny Bruce's place in American rock history, but overall I find his music mostly pedestrian, with a few really fine songs. Thankfully for him and the E St. Band, my opinion don't mean shit! As far as Nils is concerned, I wish he'd stayed solo or formed a more exciting band, but once again, the Bruce Springsteen Machine rumbles on...and nobody's holding a gun to Nils' head, so clearly he is a happy camper.

[@richardmccarthy6447]

All those flips were performed by him! But unfortunately he cannot do it anymore because of two knee replacements.

[@mikecaldwell4442]

why doesnt he do this with bruce?

[@windsurfer49]

"More Talented Than The Boss! "Always has been" "when you hear him live"

[@tommyboy6267]

Got a copy of it myself. And it cost me new...$7:99. Sad how prices change, eh?

[@MartyMartin87]

Can't remember that he plays the Telecaster, a '61 Strat is his one and only

[@jimmysnaggles4608]

I love Bruce Springsteen.

[@concertboppermc3521]

+Jimmy Snaggles me too. Love the E Street Band. Love Nils! Loved him before he joined and ever since.

[@concertboppermc3521]

+Jimmy Snaggles this one is actually reminiscent of Bruce's "Glory Days" -era sound & story style, thought it predates current long-running Nils in E Street sojourn. maybe that's part of the reason for Bruce's subsequent invitation....

[@tommyboy6267]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?

[@itz_cutiepie1142]

No wonder he needed two new knees and or hips

[@scottgeshen]

great song, silly video...

[@sallyforth3631]

lofgren imo is so much more talented than his "the boss". love nils, springstrung makes me well puke....

[@lowellcalavera6045]

Your opinion means nothing, to anyone.

[@KOSMICKEN09]

Geez lighten up Bruce has written loads of great songs too. The internet is such a cesspool

[@KOSMICKEN09]

good lord, cheated on his wife? how many 'rock stars' have, like 98 percent of them? lol...

[@sallyforth3631]

I stand by statement, Springsteen is too liberal for my tastes & his shows imo, are about him, not to mention, he cheated on his wife. I take a mans' character over his stardom anyday. Yes I do believe Lofgren is far more talented than "the boss". Thank God in America one can still give their opinion, doesn't make me right but it doesn't make me wrong either....as well let us not forget Nils had two hip replacements, maybe that make his quadruple hip eh?

[@TitusAndronicusTheBand]

Yo FUCK THIS being the top voted comment on this incredible song - what does Bruce being “too liberal” have to do with this 80s solo Nils classic? I’ll make no comment on Bruce’s politics one way or another because this is no place for such agitation. Shame on you for bringing that bullshit in here, Nils and the song deserve better!!
