Come on Bruce.. Give it up for this lad.. The best British talent to appear for twenty years, and.. No one has done such an amazing cover of this great song... Ever...
Saw Sam at TRNSMT and he played just before the Courteeners. His set completely outdid the Courteeners, haven’t seen anything like it in my life. Maybe an off night for the Courteeners but this lad is SO talented
This is certainly great, but I’m also very fond of Ruth Moody’s (very different) version and as a rule don’t see the point in comparisons or declaring any particular rendition “the best”.
So refreshing to see an intelligent music crowd. A audience that can sense greatness and just soak the moment in and listen to every note. So refreshing to see 👏
I'd go gay for this lad honestly, but for real this is something else, a crowd not singing along, didnt notice any phones recording, just appreciating this absolute talent and emotion. Unreal.
@@rosssingleton5875 now I’m curious if one ear is him and the other the backing band- is that how it’s done? Maybe he took it out because it was distracting ambient noise. It’s a moment though for sure
@yammy1000 - it's different - the crowd is too old to do phone recording - SWR3 is a local TV station watched mostly by older people (saying without judging) :) but they still know how to enjoy good music without distraction
Can I give a round of applause to the crowd who clapped and listened intently at all the right parts. They made it that little bit more special. Not that it needed it 👏 👏 👏
Listen to this everyday waiting on a spark. Something/anything!!.. even when its tough I know that the spark that starts my fire will come eventually and unexpected. Without hope you have notting. And hope is all I have left 🔥 on my recovery/ redemption Thank you sam
absolutely 100% my favorite ever cover by anyone ever! ive watched this over 10000 times over the last year and it doesnt get boring... i didnt even appreciate this song at all before i heard this version! so moody and emotive! love it
I was at a Sam Fender concert in Wiesbaden, Germany. That was the first time that I hardly spotted people putting their phones up. I think this speaks for itsself for his music.
Bruce Springsteen I'm sure is a very happy man to have this, probably the greatest cover of a song I've ever heard live, by one of the most talented young and original singer/songwriters of today (badly needed with the shite thats om the radio atm)..and from Newcastle too, home of some serious music legends, and Alan Shearer
I get up in the evenin' And I ain't got nothin' to say I come home in the mornin' I go to bed feelin' the same way I ain't nothin' but tired Man, I'm just tired and bored with myself Hey there, baby, I could use just a little help You can't start a fire You can't start a fire without a spark This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancin' in the dark Messages keeps gettin' clearer Radio's on and I'm movin' 'round my place I check my look in the mirror Wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face Man, I ain't gettin' nowhere I'm just livin' in a dump like this There's somethin' happenin' somewhere Baby, I just know that there is You can't start a fire You can't start a fire without a spark This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancin' in the dark You sit around gettin' older There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me I'll shake this world off my shoulders Come on, baby, this laugh's on me Stay on the streets of this town And they'll be carvin' you up alright They say you gotta stay hungry Hey baby, I'm just about starvin' tonight I'm dyin' for some action I'm sick of sittin' 'round here tryin' to write this book I need a love reaction Come on now, baby, gimme just one look You can't start a fire Sittin' 'round cryin' over a broken heart This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancin' in the dark You can't start a fire Worryin' about your little world fallin' apart This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancin' in the dark Even if we're just dancin' in the dark Even if we're just dancin' in the dark Even if we're just dancin' in the dark Hey baby
Wow!!! Sam totally crushed it, the emotion of the song comes through far more powerfully in this performance that in Springsteens, man thats some powerful stuff. Well done!!!
First time I heard of him was when I saw him open Hyde Park 2019 before Neil and Bob. Was well impressed then and stoked he's gone on to be successful cos there's not enough guitar music around right now.
Between this and Matt Anderson doing Im on Fire, Bruse haaaas to just understand he is the best musician alive 🤣 he made the rubric for the best songs ever, he just didnt know it.

Sure Sam is very talented, but there have been quite a few others in the last 20 years...
The best is debatable but he’s definitely up there, without a doubt

I wish this was on spotify 😩
a cover so perfect that even the Boss is moved beyond words.
Easily the best cover I’ve heard of this song. Incredible

Jake and in a way, Sam is into it as well because he’s only got one earpiece in
@@rosssingleton5875 now I’m curious if one ear is him and the other the backing band- is that how it’s done? Maybe he took it out because it was distracting ambient noise. It’s a moment though for sure

I'd take a guess that most of the crowd is too young to remember this, let alone know the lyrics to sing along with..

This is off the scale man. One of the best live performances I've ever seen. Crowd were fookin unreal too. Fuckin ace man.

So much Springsteen in his songs and this is a banger of tribute
Just wow... the crowd at the end. This is why being in the moment is everything

Raw talent!! What a lad man!! Proud to be a Geordie and have this kid as one of our own!!! ❤️
Absolutely, we ARE so proud of him.
His voice and songs just take me some where else
Quality 🙌🏻
A young guy who. hasn't been around for that long but just look at the age range in the audience. Everyone loves him.
You can see Springsteen's influence all over him...proper emotive
Bin schon sooo lange Fan von Bruce, aber dies ist eine der besten Versionen, die ich je gehört habe!!
What a cover 👏 what a crowd 👏 👌 savage stuff 😎
This guy is so good. I love his music so much!

What a fantastic song that is, and what a wonderful artist to sing it. It becomes just as complete as with Springsteen, but in Sam’s own way.
The part before the last chorus was just magical
Sam, you are a genius and we love you!
love sam and his fans are so genuine and special
I come back here at least once a week
Just outrageous how talented this guy is. Good god! Xxxxxxx
I'd love him as my stepson,love his boots,he put EVERYTHING IN TO HIS SONGS..♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
What a voice.....so great ....
Get goosebumps listening to this, what a talent
Bless the soul of whoever's managing this account ❤. Really needed this. 🙂
Been following this lad a very long time now. Glad to see him do so well.
Gan on kidda!!
Feel like the guitar sound would be great for a cover of Purple Rain
The point of a cover is to make a new sound and to fit the artists style not to replicate the original
thats Fender guitars for ya
AYeah eetr
I agree, it does have a Purple Rain sound
@@rosswatkins8428 you missed the point. The tone resembles another song. It’s tough not to get a comparable tone used in another song
Love the way he and North Eastern people pronounce their words such as 'book'- each 'o'.
That smile of Sam's is a Killer..xx
This man is special.
Kudos.
I keep coming back to this..and the outro there of Borders adds a bit of magic too. Love it!
I get up in the evenin'
And I ain't got nothin' to say
I come home in the mornin'
I go to bed feelin' the same way
I ain't nothin' but tired
Man, I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there, baby, I could use just a little help
You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Messages keeps gettin' clearer
Radio's on and I'm movin' 'round my place
I check my look in the mirror
Wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man, I ain't gettin' nowhere
I'm just livin' in a dump like this
There's somethin' happenin' somewhere
Baby, I just know that there is
You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
You sit around gettin' older
There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
Come on, baby, this laugh's on me
Stay on the streets of this town
And they'll be carvin' you up alright
They say you gotta stay hungry
Hey baby, I'm just about starvin' tonight
I'm dyin' for some action
I'm sick of sittin' 'round here tryin' to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on now, baby, gimme just one look
You can't start a fire
Sittin' 'round cryin' over a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
You can't start a fire
Worryin' about your little world fallin' apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Hey baby
Beautiful. Blessings.
Sam, his voice, the sound from his guitar, the transfixed audience, even the sound engineer for this. Wow, just wow.
quality cover and what a crowd soaking in every moment
Hes so talented cannot wait till he tours hes brilliant
Sometimes we have to pass the torch to the next generation.
I have a feeling that with this guy we are safe and can look forward to a bright future.
Juiced out every last drop of emotion out of those lyrics 🔥
Absolute talent! Sensational
Wow!!! Sam totally crushed it, the emotion of the song comes through far more powerfully in this performance that in Springsteens, man thats some powerful stuff. Well done!!!
Beg to differ...Springsteen wrote it and owns it...no one holds a candle although a fine cover here.
Springsteen wrote it and owns the rights, but Sam transformed it and takes it to a higher level.
Watching this for past few months. Waiting for it to get the recognition it deserves
my favourite piece of art. happy to have discovered this
Sam, thanks for this incredible cover
Wonderful... Music from heaven
Beautiful soul,so much talent beautiful man inside and out this makes me so proud to be a Geordie!Well Done Sam xxx
Pure talent.
Nice.... sound of my days
Staggers why only 5k likes. This is a stunning performance.
❤❤❤❤ belle reprise ❤️❤️🔥
Shivers!!!!
This is a performance! Unreal! Bravo!
Would love to hear him sing The River 🎸
Underrated cover
Just brilliant
Bravissimo! Bellissima interpretazione!! 😰😅😍😍😘😘😘💘♥️💔💯
Amazing. I hope Bruce sees this
just chills
Magnificent!
Phenomenal
Wow 🤩. Best Cover
Amazing
You smashed this Geordie lad!
The emotion >>>
wow! he has the Bruce rock n roll soul! (I'm sure The Boss would be touched by this)
He is something else.
First time I heard of him was when I saw him open Hyde Park 2019 before Neil and Bob. Was well impressed then and stoked he's gone on to be successful cos there's not enough guitar music around right now.
Absolutely beautiful Sam
I’m old enough to know the original.
Top work done ✅👌🏻❤️
wow this is magic
man you make me wanna buy that fender even if i can‘t play it
lads mind blowing 🤯
Pure quality
I just wish people would put the phones away, enjoy the moments and each other.
WOW amazing
Well done Sam, well done. And thanks to the SWR3 Music Service to help me out with this great artist.
Not a phone in sight! 👏🏻
This guy is the real deal. He has presence.
maybe the young'ns will now appreciate how good Bruce is .
I’d give this guy my only piece of chocolate cake! Amazing
......LOTS OF LOVE FROM SMIG XXXXX
WOW!
this is PHEENOMENALLLLL
If you all like this, find James Blunts version on Radio 2 UA-cam. Different, but equally as good.
bruce would be proud
He is
Class
very nice indeed fella 👍
The man can play and sing.
Roy Orbison sings "Dancing in the Dark"!!! ;-)
Молодец, поёт, что надо!!! Тем более, что исполняет песни Эмми Уайнхаус!!! Спасибо ему!!!
Odd, I heard this song in his seventeen going under, was singing it over it. Obviously inspired
Cool.
Well cover me in eggs and flour and bake me for 40 minutes that was 10/10
Between this and Matt Anderson doing Im on Fire, Bruse haaaas to just understand he is the best musician alive 🤣 he made the rubric for the best songs ever, he just didnt know it.
Fuck me!
Effortless class!
You’re the boy Sam! Got the goosebumps! 😉👍🏻✊🏻
This kidda is mint.
