This Guy is dynamite, A freakin renaissance man of music, great cover of The Bobby Fuller Four's song...Long live Bruce, Healthy body, voice, spirit, = great music.
Holy Smokes! I just had a flashback after my comment below...I saw Bruce perform this on the Darkness Tour in '78. Thirty years down the road and he still delivers.
Brigante7 That's my point, The Crickets version is the classic! Fuller, and The Clash recorded classic takes on it in their own rights! The other versions I've heard just don't stack up imho including this one!
+Pigeaterdlx Bullshit. I've heard lots of great covers of this classic song. Love this one but it could of been recorded better. I know the Crickets did it first but the Bobby Fuller is the definitive version.
sdcalaca The Crickets version as in the meaning serving as the established model or standard. Never said it was the "definitive" version, many would argue the Clash version is. Me? I like them all in their own way....except Springsteen's version, can't stand his voice, can't stand his music! Have a nice day! :-)
Bruce McGill sang this on the Miami Vice episode, Out Where the Buses Don't Run, which aired on October 18, 1985. MV was one of my all time favorite shows. It was the first to combine MTV with police action drama.
all covers are great but Fullers will always be the best West Texas sound ever because it was Cristened by the Crickets then past on to Bobby to make it a massive hit, I gave a Fuller album to the band member of squeeze Glenn Tilbrook, who happens to be a friend of Joe Strummer the rest is history x
As Joe Strummer got older him and Bruce did begin to look similar. And both had great empathy for the working class and the blue collar workers. And dressed similar too. Odd. Of course Joe and The Clash were 100% better
Ti voglio bene Bruce!!!la tua musica in questi giorni di tristezza!!e preoccupazione per questo maledetto virus!!mi fa stare bene ! Grazie amico mio!!ti sento vicino!!!!🙋🙋😅😅🤩😍😍😘🎸🎶💯
If anybody knows his rock n' roll history its Bruce. The Bobby Fuller Four had a hit with this in 1965 and its sound goes back to Buddy Holly. Bobby Fuller even came from Lubbock Texas and it was written by the Crickets. quite a pedigree.
History The song was written in 1958 by Sonny Curtis, and recorded in 1959 when he joined the Crickets, taking the place of the late Buddy Holly on guitar.
I have a feeling that Bruce got some mileage covering this one while in his early bands in the '60's....this request was spontaneous...Bruce and the EStreeters were a bit rusty, granted, but he made up for it with a real nice chord solo. Viva Springsteen!
Written by Sonny Curtis of the Crickets, recorded by the Crickets in May of 1959 (3 months after Buddy Holly's death) with Earl Sinks on lead vocals , released in early 1960; then covered by everyone else!
Fantastična pesma. Mislim da ne može da bude drugačija kad je peva ovakva zvezda kao što je Brus. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋💋❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋.
Great from Bruce here, this has got to be 1 of the most funny songs ever.The idea that it was an even contest :-D Same for "breaking the law", by Judas Priest, but for different reasons.After that song, you literally Wanna go out and do some mayhem.it would be really funny, for someone to play those 2 songs back to back, with "I fought the law but the law won" after "breaking the law"
@GentlemanHES duh. This is EVERYBODY's song. Thanks Bruce for your take. and Bobby Fuller, and the Clash, and the Crickets, and every live version sung every nite in every juke joint. Great music is timeless, as kis Joe Strummer, and Bobby Fuller. Preserve endangered music. long live r&r.
Can't see the problem ..I am a massive Springsteen fan I am also a massive fan of The Clash and ....wait for it SO IS BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN..he even done a rousing rendition of London Calling in tribute to Joe Strummer. I like all 3 versions all for different reasons.
Have viewed it. Note that this is being done spontaneously and live. Note that his band don't particularly know it. Note that Bruce seems pleased whenever he's covering and actually has fun with he's music. Note that he's more talented than you.
Mr. Bruce Springsteen fighting the law from the town of Lincoln, Nebraska with a sawed-off 4.10. Sit his baby on his lap, midnight in a prison shed, no more breaking rocks for him…
I don't think this is as bad as people are saying, it's just that the style that Springsteen plays can hold back the song, as there isn't as much attack as there is in the clashes version
@gsavage115 The Clash used to do this as a warm-up song before recording sessions. It was their manager, Bernie Rhodes, who insisted it be included on their (US) debut album.
If you would wipe that little bit of moisture from the corner of your eye, and loose that joyful soul, maybe someone would believe you missed the best girl you ever had.
@kidjon3 I know this song was originally by Sonny Curtis and The Crickets but The Clash perfected it. Oh and i was also refering to his cover of London Calling.
I'm a Bruce Springsteen fan and I've enjoyed his music since I was in high school. What did Occupy Wall Street win? I mean really, what changed? People camped out in cities, they were eventually removed from the property, so I'm not aware of what they accomplished. In Portland, Oregon some radicals were found to have explosives, a few people overdosed on heroine.
jeeez guys, does it matter who wrote it, the seminal version was done by Mr Joe Strummer and The Clash....Springsteen does it well, enough said, now shut up and listen and appreciate x
@sawmillslim I saw him also on that tour and he did covers way better back then, The night I went he played Rave On by Buddy Holly and he killed it. The E Street Band was at there best (I feel) on the Darkness and River tours no doubt. They just kicked ass every night. No BS just kick ass in your face R&R. I did not care for the Born in the USA tour at all. Not having Little Steven left a big hole in the band.
Yes of course in music Elvis and John Lennon were seminal. But without Buddy Holly and the Crickets and the Jimi Hendrix Experience, things would be quite different in our little ant lifetimes.
@KleWdSide The Boss rules, but this is not his speed. He comes across sounding like a campy gimmick playing this song. People need to stop embarrassing themselves trying to play this song. There's one version of this song that matters: The Clash live. That's it.
This Guy is dynamite, A freakin renaissance man of music, great cover of The Bobby Fuller Four's song...Long live Bruce, Healthy body, voice, spirit, = great music.
It's great to see Bruce really enjoy doing a great old Rocker!
Bobby Fuller 4 really nailed "I Fought the Law...".
this song is a classic, too bad Bobby Fuller never lived long enough to see it get big
Michael Smith it’s not Bobby Fullers song
@@morganhomer7388 Sonny Curtis wrote it, but it was Bobby Fuller's hit.
@@mjguillo The Crickets did it first and BEST
@@shoknifeman2mikado135 I like the BF4 version the best. Next, The Clash.
So cool to see The Boss cover this timeless classic.
Holy Smokes! I just had a flashback after my comment below...I saw Bruce perform this on the Darkness Tour in '78. Thirty years down the road and he still delivers.
Bobby Fuller, The Clash...nuff said! Anyone else trying to cover this song is running a fools errand!
Except the Crickets who did the original.
Brigante7 That's my point, The Crickets version is the classic! Fuller, and The Clash recorded classic takes on it in their own rights! The other versions I've heard just don't stack up imho including this one!

I'm a huge Springsteen fan but I agree, this is a poor version, Green Day did a good cover.

Sei sempre il migliore!!Bruce !il numero uno !! Specialmente in questa cover!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😍😘🎸🌞🌟💯

cedrick von taylor green days the best
Passed on
Can't believe how NO ONE has picked up on how much Bruce resembles Joe, especially from the side. Greatness channeling greatness.
+Lukestar1991 He really does look like Joe Strummer, dresses the same way, same guitar too
it struck me when I saw him in london about this time. I think he deliberately had a joe strummer haircut.
As Joe Strummer got older him and Bruce did begin to look similar. And both had great empathy for the working class and the blue collar workers. And dressed similar too. Odd. Of course Joe and The Clash were 100% better
Wow. Never thought that until your comment. Now I’m surprised I never picked up on it till now.
I saw the E Street Band perform this MANY years ago at the Meadowlands. Those were the days... :)
Springsteen is such a professional.
Ti voglio bene Bruce!!!la tua musica in questi giorni di tristezza!!e preoccupazione per questo maledetto virus!!mi fa stare bene ! Grazie amico mio!!ti sento vicino!!!!🙋🙋😅😅🤩😍😍😘🎸🎶💯

History

Good old fashioned rock 'n roll from the Bobby Fuller Four days. Great performance.
Fuller's good, the Clash are good, the Stray Cats are good, Springsteen's good. It's all good.
friends dont let friends clap on the 1 and 3
this song was written bt Sony Curtis and was first preformed by him with the Crickets with Earl Sinks as lead vocal in 1960 .
I have a feeling that Bruce got some mileage covering this one while in his early bands in the '60's....this request was spontaneous...Bruce and the EStreeters were a bit rusty, granted, but he made up for it with a real nice chord solo. Viva Springsteen!
That's the point, the point isn't supposed to spot on note for note or perfect. The point is to stump the band and he can prove he knows the song.
Rock on Bruce!
bobby fuller gave this video a thumbs up!!!
Sonny Curtis was a Cricket SEVERAL times, he kept going in and out of the band over the years , last I heard, he was playing with them again
Hey all, the E Street Band are having FUN!
: )
I remember when they blasted this song at Noriega when he was hiding in the Vatican embassy. It still makes me laugh. 🤣 😂🤣😂
Written by Sonny Curtis of the Crickets, recorded by the Crickets in May of 1959 (3 months after Buddy Holly's death) with Earl Sinks on lead vocals , released in early 1960; then covered by everyone else!

Except that Bruce and the E-Street Band started playing this song live in 1978... a full year BEFORE The Clash did it

Mike Ness (Social D) nails this tune on his solo album Under the Influences.
merci Sonny
il est capable de tout jouer. j espere le voir un jour sur les plaines d arbrams a quebec!

Can't see the problem ..I am a massive Springsteen fan
I am also a massive fan of The Clash and ....wait for it SO IS BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN..he even done a rousing rendition of London Calling in tribute to Joe Strummer. I like all 3 versions all for different reasons.

Springsteen Fought the Law and the Clash won

first it was tiger woods..now...bruce!! what is this world comming to?? have a nice day..
@gsavage115 The Clash used to do this as a warm-up song before recording sessions. It was their manager, Bernie Rhodes, who insisted it be included on their (US) debut album.
I´m so "I Fought The Law" fun..even...
If you would wipe that little bit of moisture from the corner of your eye, and loose that
joyful soul, maybe someone would believe you missed the best girl you ever had.
Just a little correction. Bobby Fuller is from El Paso, Texas. The song was written by Sonny Curtis, whom yes for a time was a Cricket!
Bruce Springsteen singing I fought the law.
kkkkkk
@@SuperPrutserke ?????
Clash recorded their cover in early 1978 and was played live in 1978 all the time lol
wir haben auch gekämpft......und soviel verloren !
But Bruce nailed it
@kidjon3 I know this song was originally by Sonny Curtis and The Crickets but The Clash perfected it. Oh and i was also refering to his cover of London Calling.

Actually first done by the Crickets in 1960
@Dracosign Bobby Fuller wasnt the first to do this song. It was The Crickets in 1959.
Springsteen singing a Strummer's song: it can't get any more awesome than this.
2 words. Bobby Fuller.
Why do I like Bruce Springsteen better when he is doing a cover of a Clash song ??
@OliJakupNielsen Strummer once said; "Bruce is great. If you don't agree, then you're a pretentious martian from Mars."
The Drummer has got a navigation device attached to his set.
The Clash did the best version in my opinion
Think you're right
the original is the best
I agree green day second and the original third
I thought the Dead Kennedys version was the best. That was more of a parody than a cover though
bobby fuller four version is the best
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN HAS HIS OWN LAW no need to kick ass, unless Micheal O Leary is doing a callender
oh! of course in the punk's version we can do it!
sounds like listening to the the clash wearing earmuffs sans the intensity
Bruce's Version is a popoular anthem
V GOOD B FULLER HARD TO BEAT DJ J LEE
jeeez guys, does it matter who wrote it, the seminal version was done by Mr Joe Strummer and The Clash....Springsteen does it well, enough said, now shut up and listen and appreciate x
Joe Strummer loves this version im sure, god rest his soul.
such a great picture..to bad the artist sucks...have a great day..
Ele está cantando na versão do Bobby Fuller. Que na minha opinião é a melhor, pq se não fosse o Clash não tinha regravado.
ahora El Jefe se dedica a hacer canciones de todo el mundo jajaja que grande
it's ZIP gun !!
@kidjon3 It's a country song, shock horror
sound quality if horrible
The Dirt Band 's version is also great
Fullers was
Which song is this???
@GentlemanHES Wrong. The problem is the quality of this video. It may look great, but the sound is kinda shitty.
you say that as if it's Joe's song ... it's not, infact it was written decades before the Clash even covered it -.-
@sawmillslim I saw him also on that tour and he did covers way better back then, The night I went he played Rave On by Buddy Holly and he killed it. The E Street Band was at there best (I feel) on the Darkness and River tours no doubt. They just kicked ass every night. No BS just kick ass in your face R&R. I did not care for the Born in the USA tour at all. Not having Little Steven left a big hole in the band.
@OliJakupNielsen you know this song isnt by the clash right?
@KleWdSide i will back you up squire. he is not my cuppa at all, but hes damn good at what he does. (dont like this though)
Can't touch the original enegy from the clash. It just ain't even close.
Yes of course in music Elvis and John Lennon were seminal. But without Buddy Holly and the Crickets and the Jimi Hendrix Experience, things would be quite different in our little ant lifetimes.
Bruce; No Way..; Forget It
dead kennedys also covered
I reckon the mixing at the gig would have been good just bad placement of the cammera picking up on the drums and vocals to much.
😃
Bobby Fuller song.
gojobuddy originally the crickets
@KleWdSide The Boss rules, but this is not his speed. He comes across sounding like a campy gimmick playing this song. People need to stop embarrassing themselves trying to play this song. There's one version of this song that matters: The Clash live. That's it.
I can understand if Springsteen's not somebody's cup of tea, but to say he sucks makes someone sound quite ignorant. Have a nice day.. lol
He defiantly sucks.
Bryan Adams has a great version of this as well.
Yesss, live in Belgium
spray cats do this one the best......lets get real folks
