    Bruce's haunting yawp and Clarence's sax crying out in the night. For me, these two have always been unforgettable.
    Growing up in NJ back in the day, when this was still new music, I used to tell people who didn't like Bruce's style to listen to this song. Inevitably they'd change their minds.

    This song - i could literally write a book about this song, the lyrics, the journey, the story, the power, the emotion, the stunning arrangement, the rawness, the genius, the rock & roll, the spine tingling opening bars of the piano, the tempo changes...i could go on. I first heard this song at Old Trafford Cricket Ground in 2003 and it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end, the song reduces me to tears at times. I feel there's an obligation akin to breaking the law when it comes to listening to this song in that you absolutely must listen to it in its entirety, it's well documented how Bruce painstakingly agonised putting this together so perfectly and man it was well worth it, that Sax solo is perfection, i could (and have sometimes) listen to it all day. This song is and will remain my favourite song forever (456 plays on iTunes), it's an absolute masterpiece.

    A magical performance to one of the greatest ballads of all time. For me as a piano guy, Roy’s work on the 88’s is a leap into something interstellar. The raw emotion Bruce and the big man bring to this performance is probably one for the ages. Thoughtful, powerful music, I can’t ge enough of it.

  • @MM-xi5ey
    @MM-xi5ey 4 роки тому +30

    Clarence's sax solo is majestic and is rightfully recognized as a truly great solo. Overlooked by many are Roy's always stellar piano work as the intro and finale of this masterpiece. Further I believe the guitar solo by Steve in this recording is one of his finest.
    It is amazing that after all these many, many years this song is always fresh and I savor every listening.

When Clarence does his solo, he puts so much passion into it and the composition is perfect. when he plats it really does sound like he's singing from the sax. and near the end of the solo, there's a high G. that note, I swear it sounds like a voice crack in the singing, it's so DAMN FOOKIN AWESOME!!!

Let it be a wonderful concept for those who understand what these songs truly are. “E Street” can be Family, Friends, Love, Blood, Soul, Country, Humanity, Universe. “E Street” is essentially everything we are and can possibly know - as long as we don’t get stupid and fuck it all up.

    The Rangers had a homecoming
    In Harlem late last night
    And the Magic Rat drove his sleek machine
    Over the Jersey state line
    Barefoot girl sitting on the hood of a Dodge
    Drinking warm beer in the soft summer rain
    The Rat pulls into town rolls up his pants
    Together they take a stab at romance
    And disappear down Flamingo Lane
    Well the Maximum Lawmen run down Flamingo
    Chasing the Rat and the barefoot girl
    And the kids round here look just like shadows
    Always quiet, holding hands
    From the churches to the jails
    Tonight all is silence in the world
    As we take our stand
    Down in Jungleland
    The midnight gang's assembled
    And picked a rendezvous for the night
    They'll meet 'neath that giant Exxon sign
    That brings this fair city light
    Man there's an opera out on the Turnpike
    There's a ballet being fought out in the alley
    Until the local cops
    Cherry Tops
    Rips this holy night
    The street's alive
    As secret debts are paid
    Contacts made, they vanish unseen
    Kids flash guitars just like switch-blades
    Hustling for the record machine
    The hungry and the hunted
    Explode into rock'n'roll bands
    That face off against each other out in the street
    Down in Jungleland
    In the parking lot the visionaries
    Dress in the latest rage
    Inside the backstreet girls are dancing
    To the records that the DJ plays
    Lonely-hearted lovers
    Struggle in dark corners
    Desperate as the night moves on
    Just one look
    And a whisper, and they're gone
    Beneath the city two hearts beat
    Soul engines running through a night so tender
    In a bedroom locked
    In whispers of soft refusal
    And then surrender
    In the tunnels uptown
    The Rat's own dream guns him down
    As shots echo down them hallways in the night
    No one watches when the ambulance pulls away
    Or as the girl shuts out the bedroom light
    Outside the street's on fire
    In a real death waltz
    Between what's flesh and what's fantasy
    And the poets down here
    Don't write nothing at all
    They just stand back and let it all be
    And in the quick of the night
    They reach for their moment
    And try to make an honest stand
    But they wind up wounded
    Not even dead
    Tonight in Jungleland

    The Rangers had a homecoming
    In Harlem late last night
    And the Magic Rat drove his sleek machine
    Over the Jersey state line
    Barefoot girl sitting on the hood of a Dodge
    Drinking warm beer in the soft summer rain
    The Rat pulls into town, rolls up his pants
    Together they take a stab at romance
    And disappear down Flamingo Lane
    Well, the Maximum Lawmen run down Flamingo
    Chasing the Rat and the barefoot girl
    And the kids 'round there live just like shadows
    Always quiet, holding hands
    From the churches to the jails
    Tonight all is silence in the world
    As we take our stand
    Down in Jungleland
    The midnight gang's assembled
    And picked a rendezvous for the night
    They'll meet 'neath that giant Exxon sign
    That brings this fair city light
    Man, there's an opera out on the Turnpike
    There's a ballet being fought out in the alley
    Until the local cops, Cherry-Tops, rips this holy night
    The street's alive as secret debts are paid
    Contacts made, they flash unseen
    Kids flash guitars just like switchblades
    Hustling for the record machine
    The hungry and the hunted
    Explode into rock 'n' roll bands
    That face off against each other out in the street
    Down in Jungleland
    In the parking lot the visionaries dress in the latest rage
    Inside the backstreet girls are dancing
    To the records that the DJ plays
    Lonely-hearted lovers struggle in dark corners
    Desperate as the night moves on
    Just one look and a whisper, and they're gone
    Beneath the city, two hearts beat
    Soul engines running through a night so tender
    In a bedroom locked in whispers
    Of soft refusal and then surrender
    In the tunnels uptown, the Rat's own dream guns him down
    As shots echo down them hallways in the night
    No one watches when the ambulance pulls away
    Or as the girl shuts out the bedroom light
    Outside the street's on fire in a real death waltz
    Between what's flesh and what's fantasy
    And the poets down here don't write nothing at all
    They just stand back and let it all be
    And in the quick of a knife, they reach for their moment
    And try to make an honest stand
    But they wind up wounded, not even dead
    Tonight in Jungleland

    I slept outside of a Sears store, at a shopping mall in the Calumet Region, using a parking lot pylon for a pillow, to be the third in line to score tickets for this tour at the Uptown Theater in Chicago, up on Lawrence Avenue. I was third row from the stage, getting misted by the spray of sweat from Bruce and the E Street Band.
    Twenty-three years later, I told that story to the Professor, Roy Bittan, when I was waiting on him at a restaurant in Malibu. He dragged me over to his table and made me retell the story to his guests. The only guy who got a bigger kick out of that story was the Boss himself, when I told it to him and Patty, when I was serving them in a restaurant in Beverly Hills, years later.
    The point being that the artists are touched every bit as much as we are. And sometimes, it's in those seemingly unwitnessed transactions that that meaning is conveyed.

      YES, you got it right. it is the best song ever. Good work. See my favorite just look it up ABWH live 1990 and you'll see my all time #1 show but this should probably be my number 1 show. The difference is I proposed to my wife during ABWH and I saw this with my first love BEFORE my now almost 40 years + girl and wife. So you decide. It's one and two all time, check out the ABWH 1990. look it up. See me if you need help.

Duh Easily, the number one live, probably recorded, song of all time. An embarrassment, to all that this has ONLY 84k views. Its amazing what passes for entertainment in today's world.
