Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes - I Don't Want To Go Home - 9/20/1985 - Capitol Theatre

[@andrzejwarminski716]

Thank you, Johnny. I wish you had made it bigger than you did. But for those who saw you live, we will never forget.

[@danmandich2843]

WHY DOES BRUCE NOT Mention HIM??\

[@andrzejwarminski716]

@@danmandich2843 Bruce did what he could, even wrote a few songs just for Johnny...

[@antonystorey1544]

How much more could Steve and Bruce of done??? Johnny was good live but his albums just didn't cut the mustard at the time they were released... look at all the anthems 77, 78 era had from other bands and musicians had. Was some of the most competitive years in music history... Johnny was NO failure!!!

[@andrzejwarminski716]

@@antonystorey1544 You're right. Johnny was great live, but the albums never quite matched up... Best, Andrzej

[@UMAmherst1]

Johnny made the decision to put his trust in Willie Rush and that trash it up dance crap after the critically acclaimed album Hearts of Stone produced by Miami Steve. Complete failure. Candidly, Johnny owes all his success and little notoriety he has to Miami Steve’s writing and arrangements as well as the several songs Bruce gifted him. Yes, Johnny is a good front man/stage presence but his song writing skills were poor. In Stephen’s book he mentions that the Jukes still owe him about $250k in unpaid management fees-I assume he was referencing Johnny.

[@chazmataz555]

I worked this concert as a greeter and met Southside as he was going on stage. Thought I would have some fun with him and asked for his ID with a smile on my face of course and his response to me was singing the phrase "I don't want to go home" I remember laughing about it. A great memory. Glad I found this video..

[@CosminNeagu]

Incredible story. He was an A-Lister but he never made it to the top of the Billboard. We all know his place was up there. His band, his songwriters, his producers were the biggest East Coast talents at the time and he had all of the stuff the others only dreamt of. He released some of the best albums at that time in my opinion.

[@DizzyDeeds66]

Steve Van Zandt on stage with Johnny, Kevin Kavanaugh, George Ruiz, Bobby Bandiera. What a fantastic version of the Jukes this was.

[@peterdawson3784]

South and the Jukes are the greatest acts to have never been mainstream. Long live The South

[@Bethelbandit]

Jersey isn't that far south 😉🤔

[@oinc7320]

Southside I believe is referring to Chicago, that he is from, near Southside New Jersey, pure coincidence. Great singer, and great band.

[@maryclark4417]

MY favorite song for so many years.

[@lilyofthevalley5586]

Same here. I saw them three times.

[@scottkeimig8571]

Partied to this all through the years especially new years!!

[@amoodswing]

A great voice

[@brianlevine1479]

I had friends that visited relatives at the Jersey Shore in the mid '70's. They came back with Southside Johnny and Bruce Springsteen records.

[@jayweiss4378]

The Philly Captain vlog brought me here! Great song I never heard before 2023! Love it now 👍🏻😎

[@lightblueeyedgirl1442]

Saw Southside about 8 yrs ago at a tiki bar right smack on the beach in Jersey. I was in heaven.

[@chabrake]

Sometimes when I listen Southside Johnny I think to the J.Geils Band with the voice of Peter Wolf. Love it S.J. with Steve V.Z. 🌟🍀

[@josefinajoisey]

I was there……MTV was shooting it. At some point there was a technical glitch. Southside and Co stepped forward and did an acapella song. Magic.

[@victorgust5699]

I wish Southside Johnny would come to Florida I'd love to see him

[@drychaf]

A band that reminds us - life is for living.

[@joelliebler5690]

The best. Miami Steve and Southside Johnny❤

Oh god, I was there. I’m old!

[@marshanmitchelll1120]

This song is timeless 🐐

[@helenginabakker4624]

I just love the entire family 💯 and his Nephew Karl Lyon who deserves a shout-out!

[@davidsawkins6819]

Saw Southside last Friday and believe me he can still do it.

[@mariovaccarella6854]

Steve (Little Stevie) Van Zandt, who not only wrote it but had arranged it.

[@juliascheibner3903]

It's magic. Thank you Stevie and Johnny!

[@captainsaveaho4838]

I saw Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes in Oct 1980. Freaking great horn section and fantastic show.

[@brianpelkey7948]

Still frgn great! In 2024! Do y'all ever wonder who will carry on this music???!!!

[@Tom-xe9iq]

We saw SS in 2005 at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center. Huey Lewis and The News were there, too. I loved seeing SS and the Jukes in person! Was such a great time!

[@andrewarthurmatthews6685]

I was so excited to see these guys live twice and different venues in the UK on their first ever European shows. They were supporting Graham Parker & The Rumour and were absolutely stunning and put in a brilliant performance. This must have been around 1977 and these shows still stand out as amongst my favourites.

[@ChosenHandle117]

Geetings from Beckenham inLondon UK!

spent most of my life in irvington,west orange NJ growing up as a teenager I love bruce and bonjovi by southside was and still my favorite saw him a dozen times in NJ

[@fredrikjaensson7350]

when a band has a trombone, a saxophone and a trumpet, well then you know to be blown away🤘🤘🤘

[@neeneelu3957]

Beyond Fabulous! This is music at it's rock 'n rollin' BEST!!!!

[@mazlinithegreat]

Ha! I saw them perform at either Cornell or SUNY Binghamton in the late 70’s. I was sitting 2nd or 3rd row all the way off to the right, with my head turned to the left for most of the evening. Great brass section, but the hearing in my right ear was “fogged” for days thereafter, and never completely returned to normal! Might have been worth it, though!!😂

[@NevadaBoss]

For those who appreciate how great Southside is, no additional info is needed...for those who dont, gotta feel bad for 'em. One of THE great "blue eyed soul" singers..ever.

[@RussellScott-v3o]

Saw them on the ferry in Glasgow magic ,,,,,

[@johnbradbury1284]

[@stevestewart3905]

I saw them in 1979 Chicago Jam

[@carolpicard3716]

[@dannyalba1]

Saw them at Knebworth in 78, brilliant

[@roncell6505]

Saw them winter 1980-1981at Brockport University upstate NY. Best concert ever. The Auditotilrum floor was shaking up and down! Amazing!

[@theressnegrin-yw6jb]

He still plays, and it's still so fun. ❤

[@tomwillis3089]

Saw them backing Graham Parker & the Rumour at the Usher Hall, Edinburgh, in 1976 and they blew me away! Seen SJ&tAJ several times since and they never fail to be phenomenal.

[@daveharris9699]

Finally got to see Southside live a few years ago and he was as good as I hoped he'd be

[@williamcoleman2761]

Incredible 🙌🏽🖤

[@billschwalb9486]

Great song done brilliantly! As fine as the original by The Left Banke and then the 4 Tops, this is my favorite.

[@grandnotbrand]

I thought Steve Van Zandt wrote this. You thinking of 'Walk Away Renee'?

[@oldwobble916]

The raw version of Bruce. If only he had the looks, he would have been big. I saw/heard Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes in a small venue in Utrecht, the Netherlands and they raised the roof. The horn section did most of the work.

[@Harry_PP030]

They come to Utrecht in july this year!
