Bruce Springsteen - Backstreets / Landover 1978

[@williamknell864]

This is why the E Street Band never needed a laser light show. It's all in the songs, and every breath and twitch of the performance.

[@marcdoyle8738]

I'm with you on this one!

[@bobwoww8384]

William Knell this is real rock n roll kids

[@michaeljudge5089]

I was there. Still the best show Ive ever seen.

[@johnnyM809]

The greatest songwriter and live performer of my lifetime...

[@rick188888]

Agreed--such a rare combination.

[@LETOUR7TIMESFRANCE]

100% spot on man!!

[@ginarichards6307]

This is my favorite song right now. Again. The story is so poignant and well executed that I feel like I'm there. Just an amazing song.

[@peterteixeira2893]

This is Bruce's most cinematic song. I feel like I'm on the boardwalk of Hampton Beach, NH and I'm 19 again listening to this.

[@pauldennis6069]

Jungleland?

[@peterteixeira2893]

@@pauldennis6069 yes just as good as backstreets. I'm more partial to backstreets cause I love beaches and boardwalks but both songs are masterpieces.

New York City Serenade....Incident in 57th Street...

[@robertmorganfisher2813]

I was at this show and I was never the same afterwards.

[@marcdikhoff4309]

This version is right there with the best 1977 versions in Boston. ❤

[@LETOUR7TIMESFRANCE]

Bruce definitely is the king!

[@tonyfontane5603]

Can't believe there are not more views here. This is THE epic version from The epi 1978 tour, wth Pretty Flamingo and the first hint of Drive All Night...

[@johngregg5543]

best musician of my lifetime I wish I was born before 77 for one reason... so I could have seen one of the classic darkness shows.

[@billm.819]

You should have seen him in 1974 and 1975!

[@End-Result]

TERRY IS WHOEVER WE THINK THEY ARE. Christ, the beauty of the lyric is in the INTERPRETATION. Pipe down.

[@josephverbosky6734]

Sad Eyes will always be the greatest interlude

[@pauldennis6069]

Mind Left Body Jam in-between China/Rider is up there.

[@davebeck7259]

I have heard just about EVERY version of Backstreets and I have a few questions for all you Bruce fans: When in your life have you not felt like running on the Backstreets? Haven't we all had something we needed to run from? A means to escape....a moment in time we don't want to face.....running knowing that somewhere ahead a better moment exists???? We're just like all the rest aren't we???

[@Oceanmachine27]

"Infested" is such an unusual but compelling word for the first line. That part always grabs me.

[@sandyd5189]

I love the older songs. I will be forever grateful for being able to see Bruuuuuce all over NJ, NY & philly esp with a great friend Marty. Great times! Miss Clarence Clemons. Those were the days. Such a fan... My high school quote for my yearbook was from Backstreets.

[@sharicrocker5841]

Terry is that one true happiness and completion of this twin flame journey. That inner spark, like no other. How could she have forgotten the boss.? I remember you now, you deserve all these kisses.

[@anelladambrosio2513]

Giovanissimo Bruce!¡ Ma con un talento eccezionale!!!😅🤩😍😘🎸🎶🎷💎💯

[@lizlorman8477]

Best version of Backstreets that I have seen get, and i have seen many

[@nikospaolinelli]

Liz Lorman what about the Live at the Roxy Theater on 7/7/1978? I first listened to it when I was like 7 years old and fell in love

[@daveconlin8342]

This is my go to live version of this and there are some amazing versions.

[@stefanonatale2436]

remember all the movies...thank you bruce

[@frankquezada5490]

The greatest Rock N' Roller ever.

[@martinesanthoire5683]

Splendide version de ce chef-d'oeuvre qu'est " Backstreets " , interprétation extraordinaire , une intensité et une puissance évocatrice rarement atteintes , Bruce au sommet de son art !

[@TheunisJ]

With a love so hard and filled with defeat

[@lizlorman8477]

Best! Version of backstreets and ive seen many

[@Alex-ve3it]

Liz Lorman In my opinion the best is from the agora you should listen

[@utoobuser101]

[@drstanbackguy]

Breathtaking; unexpected snippet of pretty flamingo to boot!!!

[@oipbhakeld]

[@michaelhammond2211]

[@bradleyhovious3240]

[@michaelcovington5569]

I was there

[@sandyd5189]

Impressive

[@anelladambrosio2513]

Che bella versione!!!bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce!!😅😍😍😍😘💘💞💕🎅

[@tonyfontane5603]

One of the be versions, with Pretty Flamingo and Drive All Night.

[@sweetmelinda22]

One soft infested summer me and Terry became friends tryin in vain to breathe the fire we were born in.. Catchin rides to the outskirts tying faith between out teeth sleepin in that old abandoned beach house getting wasted in the heat... and after all this time to find we're just like all the rest Stranded in the park and forced to confess To hiding on the backstreets.

[@TheJohnny990]

BRUUUUUUUUCE! this is awsum

[@nittyranks]

Unreal.

[@stefanonatale2436]

mitica!from trani italy

[@tonyfontane5603]

And Drive All Night also!

[@chillgreg]

2nd best version ever. I have the audio of the best EVER version, also a Landover show, but have never been able to find the video :( Believe me, and I PROMISE, hand on my heart, it's even better than this one.

[@LETOUR7TIMESFRANCE]

Its got to be July 1978 at the Roxy in West Hollywood California..There all really good but Thats hands down is the best version ever at the roxy

[@anncartner3393]

Wow

[@valquiriabueno5414]

Féra...gigante💎💘

[@LETOUR7TIMESFRANCE]

3:53 wow what a solo.

[@pauldennis6069]

Holy Cow, right? First thing came to mind was EVH.

[@LETOUR7TIMESFRANCE]

@@pauldennis6069 EVH?

[@jayapted1492]

Is this from the August 15th concert or November 2nd? I was there at the November 2, 1978 Capital Centre concert.

[@jayapted1492]

I think it's from the August 15th show.

[@iwantusernameful7052]

November 2nd 1978 Capitol Theatre Landover

[@jayapted1492]

The Capital Centre, demolished in 2002 less than 30 years after it first opened in 1973.

[@eddie675]

read the book.

[@rafaelbp591]

where are you now bruce?

[@thedragonbroke]

Terry is a girl. The sad eyes part about her is clearly directed towards a girl and in a few live versions he calls her little girl.

[@shawnkielty6605]

Awesome but Winterland version is still the best

[@mcgeepoletto8116]

Got to Say ONE Thing.Man that wife of his did NOTHING to help his Music.At the VRY Start in the Born in USA, i heard the Difference and have always picked and chosen Since.but i Still cant get over Every Single Album Before.mcgee

[@USMagazine1002]

Bruce should be the 2nd king of rock n Roll but he is better than Elvis.

[@teresalittlepage9930]

Terry is a woman she laid head on his chest not a man don't listen he hated me and her supposed lover I hated him when u left

[@ekiefer1612]

Is this about two boys. . "experimenting" with their sexuality? Or just a girl-Terri? Hey cut me some slack I was only born in 1969 :) Peace Man.

[@Jeffp24NM]

Nope.... I never considered Terri/Terry as a boy. Too many hints it's a girl... "Slow dancing in the dark on the beach at Stockton's Wing Where desperate lovers park we sat with the last of the Duke Street Kings" Boys experimenting would never dance... "When the breakdown hit at midnight There was nothing left to say but I hated him and I hated you when you went away".... Obviously a girl....

[@ekiefer1612]

In deed :) I stand corrected. This has to be the top. . . 2 Boss songs, IMO.

[@mitchberg8229]

***** "Terry" is a girl character in a bunch of earlier Bruce songs.

[@alyorkie6]

Well I remember you, 'Little Girl' I remember you, Standing on the corner of Richmond Avenue
