Chorus:
Hiding on the backstreets
Hiding on the backstreets
With a love so hard and filled with defeat
Running for our lives at night on them backstreets
#BruceSpringsteen #Backstreets #LiveattheHammersmithOdeon - Hudba
26 years old and already armed with a set list to put most bands to shame
Neither before nor after Was bruce so authentic, so powerful, so real. Probably the best live performance ever
Check out incident on 57th Street live in Barcelona probably one of his best live backstreets my favorite
Agree - something really magical about this performance.
I agree. This is him at his best!
The lyrics. The musicianship. The crescendos. The decrescendos. The piano. The drumming. The hats. The performance. Just tremendous.
2024 - this is still one of the best live videos ever. Thank you, The Boss
The piano intro alone is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I’ve ever heard; a heartbreakingly melodic expression of pure emotion. For me, it’s a work of genius (as is the rest of the song) I’ll never tire of it.
that's roy bittan killing it
It's my most favorite piano part of the E Street Band catalogue
Roy is incredibly talented.
I agree 100% and the guitar solo is pretty too. As good as the song is 95% of it's power is just the music.
Well said
bruce Springsteen vocals are under rated . this is punk rock
This music almost 50 years old you can't touch this today!!
Possibly the single best performance of any song in all of human history.
The whole concert is a masterpiece.
All the way
Yeah on point! Never duplicated unlike modern music.
Bruce hated the whole night and felt it was a disaster - he couldn't watch this video for 40 years
4th of july was so good at this concert
Well put Springsteen 70s thank you keeps me breathing 😊
This band together is an absolute gift from God.
Is it normal to cry so much with a song?
Si, eres muy sensible y vives todo. Un abrazo.
They should put the entire show into theaters Imax surround sound to show the youngins how it's done.
I'd probably shead a few tears but it would be in a dark place so...
"show the youngins how it's done". Yeah, that's it.
that would be amazinh
YES! YES! YES! This is a great idea!
THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO CHARGE FULL PRICE FOR SEATS, SINCE MOST OF US WILL BE OUT OF THEM "DANCING IN THEM DARK"!!
"Running into the darkness, some hurt bad, some really dying.
At night sometimes it seemed, you could hear the whole damn city crying."
God, I love that..
The one that gets me is when he sings "I hated him, I hated you when you went away". Just reminds me of my mistakes and how I pushed a woman into the arms of another man. .
Twenty six years old and responsible for this? Sometimes it just doesn’t compute that one man could have written so many great songs at such a young age. The word genius gets thrown around like an old Kleenex these days but there’s never been a doubt in my mind that Bruce definitely wears the crown!
Holds up as strong as ever. Discovered at 15, still love it at 62! Will never get burned out on this song.
@@RidgeRunner-lz5kociao Ridge!🙋😍😘💘🍀
being young, creative and horny is hell of a driver for greatness.
Yep he had me hooked in 74. See you in Hyde park in July . Enjoy.
So true Bruce Springsteen is a musical genius. So is the first rock band Bruce saw in concert in Atlantic City new Jersey. THE WHO and Bruce wanted to be like them. PETE TOWNSHEND is a musical genius. I live at the Jersey shore just down the parkway from where Bruce lives cape may new Jersey. I heard a interview with Bruce talking about how seeing the who live. He had to be a rock star. Saw Bruce 4 times and the WHO 5 TIME'S. They are the greatest rock bands ever ever. Still all these years later no rock band comes close.
If you are a Bruce fan this is truly food for the soul. It just makes me feel good
your right
Best song ever written about friendship
This guy is unreal at 26
he’s probably one of the only artists that you could say that you prefer a live version than studio. he’s just that good.
Him, and often Mark Knopfler, for me (the live versions of Knopfler's Speedway at Nazareth are probably the most visceral musical experience I've ever had). And of course, it's not just them, it's also the musicians they surround themselves with - that, too, is part of the magic, I think.
@Chi Rungo No need to be nasty.
I couldn't agree with you more, nice call, I love all the older live stuff, you have a great weekend
@@beth12svist absolutely Beth, we should all keep it kind and cool, good job my friend, best to you and your loved ones
@@vincentberte7675 right!! have a great weekend too!
One of those rare popular songs that make you feel as if you were there, living the life described in the lyrics.
Ho si Gerry!e una esibizione impressionante!🤩😍😘😘🎶🎸🎶💘❤️💔💯💋
Max Weinberg was (is) such a monster. He navigated so many subtle dynamics transitions.
Am I the only one with every hair on my body standing listening to this? E Street Band pure and original.
Nobody does a reaction video to Hammersmith Springsteen because it’s all “awe”...
This song takes no prisoners, Kick's ass front to back !
They should release the enitire Hammersmith concert on IMax. I'd see it I don't know how many times. Many
One of the earliest child births ever captured
This is one of the greatest vocal performances ever recorded.
No doubt, his is voice so strong during this period, it changed over the years, but here its so good.
In Mexico City right now and this song never fails to bring tears to my eyes.
I still no have words for this Masterpiece.
This is like a once in a life times experience
Personally you will never find any vocal or band that gives your $$ worth damn thanks Bruce have know idea
The melody of that intro overwhelms me with emotion every time.
Simply one of his best.
Close to his heart
I come back to this performance again and again, and I'm always awed by something different each time. This time it was Roy Bittan's superb piano playing.
Beautiful singer…beautiful man. ❤️
Roy Bittan is a gift to the music world.
Beyond words... off the charts. No way to give him proper credits. OMG AWESOME
A song is incredible when it ends and the first thing you do is hit repeat asap!
This is probably my all time favourite Bruce song. I love this version - sheer raw passion from start to finish. The opening verse is the best rock 'n' roll intro ever! Amazing to think he was only 26 when he performed this song. I also think that Miami Steve looks super cool in that suit & cowboy hat...
Yeah... yeah, this concert will play on rotation at my funeral.
Can I get an invite??
@@mresch8 yes. Yes sir you may. I would love to have you. I have instructed my wife to have a taped keg there as well. A party it'll be
But you are already dead. It's been five years. Your spirit can move on now. It's okay. We will be fine, papa. You don't have to worry.
@@jerseyboy84 i'm in too!!!!! and you're invited to mine if i go first. This will be in rotation too if i get married before these much-awaited funerals.......this should also be "in rotation" at all births as well!!!! AND PROM NIGHT!!!!! For all those who chose to Ride the Backstreets INSTEAD OF GOING TO PROM!!!!!! (your graduation gown was already lying in rags at your feet, so who could GO TO PROM anyhow???!!!!))))))))
❤ This is my Springsteen! ❤
#BruceSpringsteen
The besssss!!!!
Have great X-mas & lovely 2023
Greetings from NY
I wonder if anyone, just one person, understood on this very night exactly how lucky they were to be there....
Roys genius is so evident here - and the guitars coming in
The Genius Of Genius Recognizing Other Genius. Pinnacle of Human Achievement!!!!
Roy's piano intro could go on forever and never end for all eternity and I wouldn't mind a damn bit.
Them against the world and... they won. This album is Definitely one of my best ever musical purchases
great music, great poetry, great expression of a certain feeling.
Great moment
on Infidelity. Stranded in a park and forced to confess.
My Absolute Favorite Bruce Springsteen Song Ever!!!!!!!!!!!
Hooraaay me too!!!!!
The piano is obviously beautiful and dramatic but the base playing is quietly sublime with surprising flourishes that the song would just not be the same without. It's about as flashy as Gary Tallent ever gets.
This song always reminds me of my departed twin bro & sis felines. They were rescued as feral kittens in NJ. They were literally hiding on the back streets. They were just as cool as The Boss & Co.
The Legendary E STREET BAND !
So I was lucky enough to see him on this tour...and I had been to some good concerts back in the day....I lived 10 miles from the port authority NYC so an easy commute....lots of really good shows and when I saw this particular show with Bruce I thought it was the greatest concert I would ever see......and 45 years later I get video proof that it was the greatest concert ever....in his prime!
I saw him 3 years later when the released the Darkness on the Edge of Town Lp, and just blown away. Greatest concert ever. Saw him again on the The River tour......just killer concert.
I have been following Bruce since the 70s....when I last saw him in 2016 on the River Tour I openly wept during the intro to this tune....always my fave.....
@kim pantyhose that was a great addition. Thanks 4 the read
Me too AC, me too.
As a 16 year old I saw Bruce live a few times but I wasn’t old enough to really appreciate him, the things I’d do to travel to London in 75 and see this concert...
I heard it for the first time live in 2016. As soon as Roy started hitting those keys, I knew what was coming.
My favorite song of all time.
the rangers had a homecomming in harlem late last night
Bruce and the E Street, with lyrics and music pack a novel-length story into their songs. What geniuses.
Truly wonderful. Bruce at his best…
If you think this performance is the greatest, then you're in for a treat. He gets even better on his next show.
The greatest rock n roll lyricist of all time and probably the greatest performer. There is just something about early E Street that really clicks for me. Crazy thing is it was all written before I was even born in '79(except The River, of course). All of his stuff is amazing, but the first 5 albums are what really do it for me. I thank my father for introducing me to The Boss
Damn that blew me away sheesh
These guys are so fucking cool.
I like listening to a lot of electronic and modern music while working or focussed on another task, but when it comes to listening to music for the sake and pure pleasure of listening to music ... nothing in the WORLD beats this!
I Could Die To This Song by Bruce!
Sono arrivata a 65 anni, una vita di m***a, le uniche cose che mi danno ancora un'emozione sono il mare e la voce di Bruce Springsteen!
My absolute favorite live performance by any artist. No complicated lighting, back up singers, or choreography.
5 men on stage.
It's real.
5:30 to end kills me. Every single time.
Don't know why. It just does.
Bruce hated the whole night and couldn't watch this for 40 years - read Born to Run
This will age well❤️
49 years old so different his voice was back than but still gives me the shivers now and than. thank u Bruce
Heard this live in Dublin a few years ago. Fabulous. It was a change to the original set list as I could see Bruce turn round to the band and say something to the band - and I could see he was saying "Backstreets". A moment of pure joy which I'll always remember as it's definitely a favourite, and I'd not heard it live before.
Goosebumps In My Head, Reading This!!!
@@marsboi4423 Dido
Love this song so much 💞
Saw the boss alpine valley born usa 1st song and never ended Thx boss never forget it
Been loving this song 40 some years. My eyes well up for simple beauty of it. E Street Band was so much fun in concert. Playing their hearts out on every song. Every one was on their feet, standing up on their chairs yelling Bruce! Bruce! Good times.
This is the perfect summer love at the Jersey shore song. I’ve been listening to this since Born to Run was released and it never fails to take me back.
Yeah....this is good. The Springsteen I grew up with. Fantastic.
This is the Bruce I relate to and tried to emulate lol Early Bruce is indescribable and is so raw and youthful there is nothing like it. When my mom and sister started to say he was hot during the Glory Days Tour and went to see him together, i guess that was the end for me, for a while anyway. Lol Early Bruce was the soundtrack for any young red blooded American Guy who thought he was cool, especially if you grew up in Central or North. Jersey or down the shore lol
Masterpiece.
F*ck yeah man
cheers
"Blame It on the lies that killed us and the truth that ran us down". That hit hard after my girl decided to move on to someone else because of my selfieh ways.
This song whips
Bittan is a beast. What a band!! I know every word. I grew up in Massachusetts. Aerosmith, Cars, Boston, J Girls. The Boss was my number one.
Geils
this is my favorite thing ever
I love you Emma Murphy😭😭😭 Also is this a new account? Lol
Best live show ever saw him since 1978 35 concerts later still the man ill be 60 this month saw the stones. Little feat police allaim bother. Boston ect ect best live show ever ill take to the crave
1975 live......wow.....what great raw talent and emtion Bruce gives in this video and this song is my top 3 Bruce songs....
I come back to this video often. It hits me in my bones. The piano and his passion.
same!
Come back to London Brucey we miss you! 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Absolutely awesome fantastic great unique amazing fabulous wonderful talented gifted artist genius legend
Holy shxt! This is truly amazing. Not many videos exist of bruce and the boys in their inspirational prime. No one can keep up this creative intensity forever. Incredible to see. Great to witness Bruce nostalgia from those long ago days. But This old piece is worth a thousand Bruce repetitions today. And i'm sure he knows that. And so what?: he climbed to the summit. We should all be so lucky to do it for five minutes.
Life changed, forever.
Great song about the relationship between two men having to hide their love on the "backstreets". You can hear the influence of Van Morrison's "Madame George".
What? The song has nothing to do with 2 guys(not that there is anything wrong with it), he repeatedly describes terry as "she" and " little girl", bruce stated in his book its about a broken friendship. If you want to take it that way, its ok. Thats not what the song is about. Well, according to the guy that wrote it.
@@briancrawford7981 listen again. He never says little girl. He says Terry. We swore forever friends. Not boyfriend/ girlfriend. Running for our lives at night on the Backstreets. Why are they running and hiding on the Backstreets? WOMEN DON'T TRY TO WALK LIKE HEROES? Valentino drag. Dancers. Some hurt bad some dying. "I hated HIM when you walked away". Bruce was inspired by Van Morrison 'Madame George". Its on "Astral Weeks". Bruce is a great songwriter.
Two guys can love each other for sure, the greatest relationships I've had were with other guys; but that doesn't mean they're having butt-sex. I know that's what homosexuals want to think. They try project their gayness on other men. By the way, Bruce is straight, as straight as the come.
A masterpiece
I was at the "Are you Loose "show in 75.They blew the doors off that little movie theater.
Thanks for posting this. Bruce was so raw and just beginning to show the world how to put on a concert.
Chills each time I listen to this song. It is simply perfection.
Ohhhh the piano...
what a song
Una delle più grandi canzoni di sempre.
Thank you Bruce love the older songs
Chills....
❤️Fantastic performance! Beautiful song! Great lyrics! Masterpiece! Thank you!❤️💯
Dont fade away...since'80s of listening ..now im 60..
I LOVE IT WONDERFUL VIDEO 👏💓🔥🌞🌹🌹
Un giovanissimo, Bruce bella versione grintoso il suo grido che trasmette tanto di passione ,rabbia, sensibilità, lui è molto preso e si vede
Que barbaridad!!!! Que bueno es!!!!
J'adore !😍😍😍
Saw them in Milwaukee, Wisconsin about a month and one-half earlier from this tour. Known as the bomb threat show. It was astounding. They were such a good, good band live. Nothing quite like it.
Wow he's so young in this video.
He was only
26
The Boss and The Band and Clarence! I can't ever get enough! Thanl you so much guys and gals!
