"It happened one night" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
song is like 100 yrs old and he made it sound new again
Never thought I’d like a Crispín Glover cover over the Boss. I really like this version but Crispin’s is pure insanity
Great Great Bruce ❤❤
You have to love this man
This song reminds me of the bus scene in the movie It Happened One Night. Anyone else? I just heard this song in the movie
No. But I'm intrigued . Gonna a x it out.
The "man ' is G9d. If u weren't aware. Byrl Ives does it the best. It's from late 1800s I'm certain. And never exactly the same. Its a treasure . A whirld wide Treasure And oh so Scandalized!!!
Thry couldn't say cock . So trapeze got the job. HANAHAN hahaha 😆
One of my favorite movies and scenes
The PRELUDE to Wild Billy’s Circus Story!
Forgive the cliche', but life is a journey. I wouldn't trade it for something else.
I have no words for this version, I'm completely wordless!!!
I like Bruce, but this version,? I have no words, I am wordless!!🤔🤭
Great song but not for "The Boss"....
Love it! Sounds like he’s channeling John Prine 🙂.
Bad boys have always stolen the girl.
I didn't know Bruce sang this
Hay en el circo de don Rataplán Un trapecista llamado Julián Con sus piruetas a mi corazón Hace latir de emoción.
Once I was happy, but now I'm forlorn Like an old coat that is tattered and torn; Left on this world to fret and to mourn, Betrayed by a maid in her teens. The girl that I loved she was handsome; I tried all I knew her to please But I could not please her one quarter so well As the man upon the trapeze. He'd fly through the air with the greatest of ease, That daring young man on the flying trapeze. His movements were graceful, all girls he could please And my love he purloined away. This young man by name was signor bona slang, Tall, big and handsome, as well made as chang. Where'er he appeared the hall loudly rang With ovation from all people there. He'd smile from the bar on the people below And one night he smiled on my love. She wink'd back at him and she shouted "bravo," As he hung by his nose up above. Her father and mother were both on my side And very hard tried to make her my bride; Her father he sighed, and her mother she cried, To see her throw herself away. 'Twas all no avail, she went there every night, And would throw him bouquets on the stage, Which caused him to meet her; how he ran me down, To tell you would take a whole page. One night I as usual went to her dear home, Found there her father and mother alone. I asked for my love, and soon they made known, To my horror that she'd run away. She'd packed up her box and eloped in the night With him, with the greatest of ease; From two stories high he had lowered her down To the ground on his flying trapeze. Some months after this I went to the hall; Was greatly surprised to see on the wall A bill in red letters, which did my heart gall, That she was appearing with him. He'd taught her gymnastics and dressed her in tights, To help him live at his ease, And made her assume a masculine name, And now she goes on the trapeze. She'd fly through the air with the greatest of ease, You'd think her the man young man on the flying trapeze. Her movements were graceful, all girls she could please, And that was the end of my love.
Peace and be wild 2021
Yeah, Im here for my love Dick Grayson
Only Bruce could ruin a simple song like this.
Le sorprese per me non finiscono mai!!Bruce!questa canzon3 e bellissima!!🙋😅😅😍😍😘😘🎸🎷💘♥️💞💯💯💯
Is there nothing the Boss can't do!😂😂😂😂😂
Wish iTunes had this as a download
I have a Melotone 78rpm record of this one but by a different artist (Dick Robertson and his Orchestra) and it’s split into 2 parts on both sides I really enjoy this song no matter who’s singing it.
I'm a sideshow/circus performer, Juggling, fire eating, escapes and sword swallowing. My wife used to be my assistant. When we worked together we were friends and 100% professional. 3 years later (after she moved out of state) we reconnected and I told her that I could not in good conscience pretend to be "just friends" with her because I had fallen in love with her long ago. She told me she was going through a divorce due to mistreatment and that she too had feelings for me and always has. She loved me for my talent and personality. This is our song, and makes us both tear up. I don't know why I just typed all this. I guess I just wanted to put it out there, so people see that saying how you truly feel can pay off. Sometimes you're the protagonist in this song but sometimes you're the daring young man on the flying trapeze. The choice is truly up to you. Who will you choose to be? God Bless!
My Dear Mr. Zippo: I am reading your very heartfelt story today, MARCH 20, 2020. I watched the movie about the Influenza of 1918-thinking of how my Aunt would have been only eighteen at that time; and what she must have gone through- I'm a songwriter , but haven't' been able to get back to work "happily", as I've become so depressed with this..what is it now called, corona virus, Covid19-whatever! -we're tired of the names and all of the misinformation given to us; I AM CALLING THIS VIRUS, THE "TRAPEZE" virus; as it "seems also, to be "Flying through the air with the greatest of ease!"; Being a retired school teacher, and seeing all of the FEARS and ANXIETIES of the teens commenting on thier social media machines, I thought... WHAT CAN WE DO,FOR THE CHILDREN NOW ? I'd like you to take a look at what I've tried to do here, and note, please, with my friend and co-worker, Fred., we're not able ot put a RECORDING on you tube just yet; As we'd hoped to merely be helpful. I don't' want WRONG ADVISE given to all of these kids who are being told that WASHING HANDS is a major concern; Seems society has heard of GLOVES by now and it's seeming ridiculous to keep washing ones hands , just to touch a dirty door knob? But this son g is so MEMORABLE to SO MANY and such a distinctively memorable CHORUS..it ought to be presented TO OUR CHILDREN. tHE LITTLE ONES who aren't big enough to get up ONTO a computer yet, but are hearing all of the NASTY WORDS out there that SCARE THEM about this virus. I would love to hear YOUR opinion about a song that I really feel should be REVISED, even if it is a hundred years later? I've never stolen a melody in my life, but this one really intrigues me. (Coincidentally, it appears the writers OF this melody, somehow incorporated a few melodic phrases from "Mocking Bird Hill"...not a nice thing to do, without permission, right ?) pls see below, my new POST/COMMENT to those parents of these types of children,And Pls write to me at LyndaFayeSMusic@gmail. Thank you so much . Lynda Faye LET'S ALSO try to EMPOWER THE LITTLE ONES WHO HEAR SCARY WORDS AROUND THE HOUSE AND ARE AFRAID ! The Virus Trapeze! It flies through the air with the greatest of ease, Like a Devil escaping, on a flying Trapeze ! It's big and it's bad , but it does not scare ME, God is now watching that cough and that sneeze! ( I put that line in for all the Plague theorists !)Clean up that back yard if you're lucky enough to have one...and thought I haven't felt like writing a song in over four months---this melody I'm sure will come to you easily; and SING IT WITH THOSE LITTLE ONES who are too small to get up on your computer yet!Lyrics Copyrighted by IllinoisHarmonyConnection@ You Tube, SoundClick & SoundCloud. Melody stolen (temporarily!) from lyricist and singer, George Leybourne, with music by Gaston Lyle, sung 4 years AFTER THE DEADLY INFLUENZA OF 1918!
Oh that other guys love you have stolen away!😂😂😂😂 God-bless

@@lyndafaye5878 Luckily for everyone this isn't as bad as the Spanish flu which claimed 500 million souls worldwide. I do agree that the misinformation needs to stop though. Unfortunately we live in a capitalist society run by business interests and our politicians have been bought and paid for long ago. So we the people will be forced to go back out in totally unsafe conditions to earn their blood money for them even though there has been Zero decline in death's and infections. The real culprit in the spread of covid19 is the selfishness of others and non preparedness on the part of the citizenry. Top experts have been warning of pandemics for a decade now due to overpopulation and lack of education, but few listened. Now they're worried about their hair and nails more than the lives of their fellow man. It's disgusting and shameful!
Thank you for letting us into your life. What a beautiful love story. This song will mean so much more to me from now on. Stay safe
2019!!!!! Love and blessings to all.
Right back atchya 👈
awesome!!
The Boss sounds like Larry the Cable guy.
I like the idea of this cover, but Springsteen is off key and his effort is a bit too self conscious for my taste.
I don't think to much of B.S. but this I like. Makes me want to go to Karaoke.
ALMOST as good as The International Silver String Submarine Band (In PERSON!)'s version...almost, but not quite.
love it all
Bob Seeger !!!!!
I think that’s Pete Seeger; though I’m down with you and the thought of it being our favorite local: Bob Seeger! (how about ‘Back In ‘72’? “We got homesick for Lincoln Park; imagine!”. Now that’s really pinpointing it - for me)
"Point Blank" Do you still say your prayers little darlin' do you go to bed at night Prayin' that tomorrow, everything will be alright But tomorrow's fall in number in number one by one You wake up and you're dying you don't even know what from Well they shot you point blank you been shot in the back Baby point blank you been fooled this time little girl that's a fact Right between the eyes baby, point blank right between the pretty lies that they tell Little girl you fell You grew up where young girls they grow up fast You took what you were handed and left behind what was asked but what they asked baby wasn't right you didn't have to live that life, I was gonna be your Romeo you were gonna be my Juliet These days you don't wait on Romeo's you wait on that welfare check and on all the pretty things that you can't ever have and on all the promises That always end up point blank, shot between the eyes Point blank like little white lies you tell to ease the pain You're walkin' in the sights, girl of point blank and it's one false move and baby the lights go out Once I dreamed we were together again baby you and me Back home in those old clubs the way we used to be We were standin' at the bar it was hard to hear The band was playin' loud and you were shoutin' somethin' in my ear You pulled my jacket off and as the drummer counted four You grabbed my hand and pulled me out on the floor You just stood there and held me, then you started dancin' slow And as I pulled you tighter I swore I'd never let you go Well I saw you last night down on the avenue Your face was in the shadows but I knew that it was you You were standin' in the doorway out of the rain You didn't answer when I called out your name You just turned, and then you looked away like just another stranger waitin' to get blown away Point blank, right between the eyes Point blank, right between the pretty lies you fell Point blank, shot straight through the heart, Yea point blank, you've been twisted up till you've become just another part of it Point blank, you're walkin' in the sights, Point blank, livin' one false move just one false move away Point blank, they caught you in their sights Point blank, did you forget how to love, girl, did you forget how to fight. Point blank they must have shot you in the head Cause point blank, bang bang baby you're dead.
I love this song
The most evocative song I've ever heard by the 'Boss' must have been an early gem. I've never heard it.Good day to you Bojan_ pleasure!
"Point Blank" Do you still say your prayers little darlin' do you go to bed at night Prayin' that tomorrow, everything will be alright But tomorrow's fall in number in number one by one You wake up and you're dying you don't even know what from Well they shot you point blank you been shot in the back Baby point blank you been fooled this time little girl that's a fact Right between the eyes baby, point blank right between the pretty lies that they tell Little girl you fell You grew up where young girls they grow up fast You took what you were handed and left behind what was asked but what they asked baby wasn't right you didn't have to live that life, I was gonna be your Romeo you were gonna be my Juliet These days you don't wait on Romeo's you wait on that welfare check and on all the pretty things that you can't ever have and on all the promises That always end up point blank, shot between the eyes Point blank like little white lies you tell to ease the pain You're walkin' in the sights, girl of point blank and it's one false move and baby the lights go out Once I dreamed we were together again baby you and me Back home in those old clubs the way we used to be We were standin' at the bar it was hard to hear The band was playin' loud and you were shoutin' somethin' in my ear You pulled my jacket off and as the drummer counted four You grabbed my hand and pulled me out on the floor You just stood there and held me, then you started dancin' slow And as I pulled you tighter I swore I'd never let you go Well I saw you last night down on the avenue Your face was in the shadows but I knew that it was you You were standin' in the doorway out of the rain You didn't answer when I called out your name You just turned, and then you looked away like just another stranger waitin' to get blown away Point blank, right between the eyes Point blank, right between the pretty lies you fell Point blank, shot straight through the heart, Yea point blank, you've been twisted up till you've become just another part of it Point blank, you're walkin' in the sights, Point blank, livin' one false move just one false move away Point blank, they caught you in their sights Point blank, did you forget how to love, girl, did you forget how to fight.

Man. after 35 years this song still hits me like a punch to the chest every time I hear it -- especially this recording. May the blessings of the r&r gods and godettes rain down on whoever taped this show.
"Betrayed by a maid barely out of her teens"? - OK, that is taking political correctness just too far. This song has been a world standard since 1869. Respect it - and leave it be. Betrayed by a maid in her teens!
I think it was a joke about that - a few things that give me that impression are the way he seems to add in 'barely out of' quickly (to create a surprise for those not expecting it) and the way he smiles as he says it. A few audience members laughed about it as well. I should also note that there are so many versions of this song out there (with different endings!) that it is more the music and general concept that have become standard, as opposed to any specific set of lyrics.
A wonderfully humorous rendition. Two thumbs up.
Billion dollar folk singer. He deserves every penny. Great song and performance. Wished he left out the F word though.
yeah, it's a fantastic performance, but the F word was totally un-necessary, it added nothing to the performance, in fact it's glaring and detracts.
+Dan D. Dirges - I don't know, I think the F-word is really appropriate here. The story is how a young guy feels after the one he loves leaves him for someone else. If your wife/gf/partner left you for someone else, I'm sure the f-word would cross your mind at least once. Overall, I think it adds to his frustration and emotion.
I thought the f word worked quite well here, it sure got a reaction, good and bad.
this song is very depressing
Exactly! And I first heard it from children's rythem!!! I'm so surprised!
it's HOPEFUL Turner as it was written 4 years after the 1918 InfluenzasAnd people felt like going to the circus again! I like the one on Kid's jam, but they won't offr an email. so TO EMPOWER CHILDREN IN ARCH 0F 2020 I SUBMIT that this Virus...that scares the children, (today!)….CAN"... FLY through the air with the greatest of ease, THIS Devilish Dragon, on a Flying Trapeze, It's BIG and it's BAD, but it does not scare me! God is watching that cough and that sneeze! It wants in your home, wherever you'll BE, Attached to a friend on his clothes as he BREATHES, It wants to breath ON as many as it CAN So put on those GLOVES when you've washed both your hands! Never "stolen" from anyone's melodies before, but this HAS to be utilized and "borrowed" to EMPOWER THE CHILDREN AFRAID OF THIS VIRUS!
on which DVD can I find it??
my grandma LOVES this song
Probably listening to the rootsy orchestra he doubtless had rehearsed umpteen times -- and fined if they were 5 minutes late. ;) This man does not do ANYTHING halfway.
Yes, exc movie. But, this sounds like crap
It seems to me that I'm flying too, instead of all my kilos
Looks like he's concentrating pretty hard, not a natural at this one.
And, there it is . . . . right on the frame at the right column. LOL Far out!!
Oh, yes, I almost forgot about that. They were in a bus, right? Hope I can find that here on You Tube??? Thanks so much, for reminding me.
i wanna hear this while seeing a video of an old time bi-plane flying in loops
I think this version has a Blonde on Blonde vibe going on, musically speaking. I prefer it to the released version on The River. Definitely a darker song in its early inception.
So raw and passionate...
