Awesome! This was my very first concert - The River Tour 1981. Bruce played for nearly four hours and seemed to savor every minute of it as did the audience. Thanks, Bruce!
My dad remembers being in the crowd 40 years ago. He was 21 at the time and here, 40 years later, is his 21 year old daughter jamming to the same music. We both agree, Bruce is the Boss!!!
Bruce Springsteen is the best and he is a really good guy a normal dude. Am from Philly I now live at the Jersey shore Cape May New Jersey and I have seen Bruce just walking by himself on Wildwood boardwalk. Stopping talking to us and taking pictures with people. He said that it's his way of relaxing. Such a cool dude 😎
Lmao I just love how he's trying to cue Max in the beginning and it takes a second try for him to explain what he wants. I remember reading that Max is known for watching Bruce like a hawk because you never know when he's gonna go Quarterback mode and call an audible. Bruce is a talented singer and song writer, but his James Brown-esque ability to lead a band with little details like that is so underrated. All front men/women of bands can take a cue from guys like him and James Brown. If you want your band to sound tight, you have to take charge. They don't call him the boss for nothing.
Young and fresh with clear rasp voice (unlike the studio version) and a great band. This live version is very fluid with accentuated rhythm, the best that I heard.
"Hungry Heart" is another of those Springsteen songs where the tune is upbeat but the lyrics are glummer than a wet weekend in Wigan. My favourite track from The Boss and I even love his unintentional Dad Dancing' at the beginning.
First Bruce song I ever heard and still my favorite. So sad that the 3 times I have seen him in concert they didn't play it one time. But still incredible shows.
Für mich der absolut beste Song ❤. Habe ihn auch mehrmals bei uns in Deutschland gesehen, leider war nie dieses Lied dabei. Aber so bleibt es für mich immer mein magisches hungry heart 🫠
44 years ago. Damn. I was 13, home at the Jersey Shore, and working on the addition to the family house and remember WOBM radio saying they were going to play the latest single from Bruce for the first time in a few minutes. Hungry Heart......like it was yesterday.
I remember the first time I heard this song in my favorite bar, I searched for days to find the song. After knowing the song for years now, hearing a new interpretation of this song from back in the days, by the king himself, what a pleasure. I love this song !
My dad loves Springsteen and for his fiftieth b-day my sister and I pooled our money and bought us tickets to see him for our dad’s b-day. He was so happy! Gotta love Springsteen!
My kids did the same type of few months ago in Vegas They surprise me with the ticket. I was not too happy at the beginning because I’m going to tough times right now and that’s why they buy me the tickets but when I got there and I saw this guy the energy that he brings is amazing. I love this song , and a lot of the people were in the audience of them older people a lot of people in Las Vegas few months ago so yeah
Lots of great people now too:) If you like this I'd recomend checking out The war on drugs and Kurt Vile who are both heavily influenced by this kind of music:)
One of the greatest songs ever.... And Bruce and the E street Band are one of the greatest bands and a groupd of some of the greatest human beings. We need more like them!!
Hungry Heart was one of the first singles I ever bought when it came out in 1980 . So funny how Bruce is in a suit jacket here and by 1984 he will be all buffed out wearing tight jeans and sleeveless shirts for his Born in the USA tour . 😎😎😎
I LOVE it when the vocal artist (AND writer) appreciates their band because THEY KNOW they are the crew that rides with them. THE BOSS! GET IT BRUCE! A legend...New Jersey stand up
I always come back to this video because everything about this performance just puts me in such a great mood. It has this youthful and carefree joy about it and it's totally contagious!
To think he didn't want to record this one... one of his best songs. Always a "wake up, people" in his concerts. I love it. Greetings from São Paulo, Brazil!
Buenas tardes. ¡Qué grande es Bruce Springsteen, the Boss, el Jefe! Posee esa voz dura, rocosa como el Cañon del Colorado que nos conduce a una fábrica en la que se trabaja de sol a sol para conseguir matices musicales con tonos de whisky americano fabricado con añejos recuerdos de irlandeses e italianos. Me encanta Bruce y su dominio del motor que ruje en el agreste rock norteamericano. Un saludo.
Melody is the key ))). Nothing can capture a heart like a melody can. Gosh I wish I lived my live in 60s 70 s and 80s. IPhone 15S and Tessa for Billboard top 20 US hits. Every week something special
Bruce was brilliant back in the day. He clearly peaked in the late 70s / early 80s. I still enjoy a lot of the stuff he's done since Born in the USA, but his and the band's music and performance were just so much more sophisticated and subtle back then, with little touches of jazz and r'n'b. He almost seems like a mixture of Roy Orbison and Tom Waits in this 😄
his shows around 75/76 when he was just on the cusp of breaking out were tremendous, he was really hungry and putting on these intimate performances with his whole being
Came here after the handmaids tale. I already loved this song. I love Bruce anyway, but I wanted to hear a live version of this. Well I like him and the song even more now ❤️👏
these were the days when people could sing and sing well on stage. now the only song sang to near perfection on stage (with equally bad dance moves for a stage performer) is pumped up kicks. man, these were the days.
I understand perfectly those who vote dislike, it is normal, they lack musical education. Quiet, the realm of music is not yours, it is from Springsteen ...
Great Song Love it! One of My Other FAVORITE Bruce Springsteen Songs We Are Hungry from the Inside To Have A Hungry Heart Oh yeah!!! Always! Great Song Love it! 🙂👍🎶🎵
Set up a radio station in 1987. Left it a touch under 20 years later. Second last song I played on air at that station was this one. It certainly was a tough moment, and this song just seemed to fit the occasion to a "T". Has held a special place in my "hungry" heart ever since!
I’ve been watching this and every other live version of this song in different countries and years on repeat for the past 2 days- think I’ve suddenly found my love for The Boss - what a voice what a song ... wish I could have been around during these times
In my humble opinion is the best Springsteen song.
Its good, it's fun and boppy but not his best.I still love it tho.
Para mi su mejor cancion es the river
A mí también es la canción que más me gusta de Bruce 😊.
My favorite boss
essa e born in the usa as melhores.
Awesome! This was my very first concert - The River Tour 1981. Bruce played for nearly four hours and seemed to savor every minute of it as did the audience. Thanks, Bruce!
Tempe az 1980 November 5.
YALL LEAVE HIS DANCING ALONE ITS CUTE
I personally think the "Drunk Uncle" dancing is adorable
Thx 😂
Wait that was dancing?
He is the epitome of why black pple laugh and joke when they see white pple dance
He's an American legend. He can step however he wants.
My dad remembers being in the crowd 40 years ago. He was 21 at the time and here, 40 years later, is his 21 year old daughter jamming to the same music. We both agree, Bruce is the Boss!!!
@Lorne Stinnett simp
That's amazing
1980

Bruce is the boss . I second that .
This is what live music is supposed to be like...
This must be the best version of the song by far. However it has been watched only 500K times. Where is the taste of music of Springsteen's fans?
Lmao I just love how he's trying to cue Max in the beginning and it takes a second try for him to explain what he wants. I remember reading that Max is known for watching Bruce like a hawk because you never know when he's gonna go Quarterback mode and call an audible.

Amen.
Excellent analysis
Wow..... still gives chills at 59... he is and still is .... The Boss!
40years old. This sold could be released now and it be a hit.
Young and fresh with clear rasp voice (unlike the studio version) and a great band. This live version is very fluid with accentuated rhythm, the best that I heard.
For sure, better than studio.
like them both....the sped up vocal in the studio version is unique and sweeter sounding though.@@elopes77
back when all you needed was talent
Gary W. Talent
For me this was Bruce’s best hit! Love it!
You and me both and Dancing in the Dark. Im 28 years old btw and I love Bruce Springsteen
You're right !!!
From all of his legacy.
So refreshing to see his dad moves
He's really embracing the "drunk uncle" vibe but it's adorable
He's the perfect entertainer.
"Hungry Heart" is another of those Springsteen songs where the tune is upbeat but the lyrics are glummer than a wet weekend in Wigan.
My favourite track from The Boss and I even love his unintentional Dad Dancing' at the beginning.
Yeah, it’s ironic. Almost like Billy Ocean’s “Love Really Hurts Without You”
"Johnny 99" has an absolutely rocking mood for an absolutely miserable song
Like going out for cigarettes at 11pm and leaning the wife & kid, never to look back.
First Bruce song I ever heard and still my favorite. So sad that the 3 times I have seen him in concert they didn't play it one time. But still incredible shows.

By the BOSS himself!
good episode! from japan
Hungry heart lol
It should be required by law to play this song in all bars --- it's the anthem for lonely guys trying to find "love" LOL
1980
I'm 63 years old and it's 2024. this is priceless.you will never find this type of talent on AGT. Love you Bruce. Rock on👍❤️
I was 6 months old when The River album released 43 years ago.
EVERYONE WANTS TO BE LOVED AND WANTED
Yes we do..u r so rite
Booooooooosss !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Boss was speaking to all of us
My dad loves Springsteen and for his fiftieth b-day my sister and I pooled our money and bought us tickets to see him for our dad’s b-day. He was so happy!
Gotta love Springsteen!
My kids did the same type of few months ago in Vegas
They surprise me with the ticket.

Ladies and gentlemen, Springsteen. Modern musicians, please bend a knee and weep
🌹👏👏👏👏👏💜
“YA’ WANNA BE LIKE HIM, BUT YA’ CAN’T!”
I feel so sad but happy at the same time --- very sad that musicians like this don't exist anymore --- but happy that I was alive when they did
The 80's when music was real music
Lots of great people now too:) If you like this I'd recomend checking out The war on drugs and Kurt Vile who are both heavily influenced by this kind of music:)
With no commercials ha

Everybody wants to have a home.
Don't nobody really wanna be alone!
So damn right Bruce so bold and out there with it
God I love it!
Where i come from we needed a Bruce and we got Sting! You Jersey folk are very lucky!
We were all so much leaner then. God, I love the Boss. Best performer ever.
I was at this show . What a
great time this was .
❤️ Bruce Springsteen
I love this guy. I havs for decades. He is a truly unique talent, this poor boy from Freehold.
Fantastic 👍💞 80 years LOWE TEXAS FROM SLOWAKIA ❤️
The best live version of this song that I have heard. Spot on, boys !!!
One of the greatest songs ever.... And Bruce and the E street Band are one of the greatest bands and a groupd of some of the greatest human beings. We need more like them!!
The only boss I still listen to 😍
Ha, cute, funny
I only consider two men to be my "bosses" --- President Biden and Bruce!
RIP MAX, the best drummer I’ve ever seen live
Bruce got soul.
Hungry Heart was one of the first singles I ever bought when it came out in 1980 . So funny how Bruce is in a suit jacket here and by 1984 he will be all buffed out wearing tight jeans and sleeveless shirts for his Born in the USA tour . 😎😎😎
I LOVE it when the vocal artist (AND writer) appreciates their band because THEY KNOW they are the crew that rides with them. THE BOSS!
GET IT BRUCE! A legend...New Jersey stand up
I really love this man! I cant stop watching his videos, he is so cute and unique.
👏👏👏 best live version
I always come back to this video because everything about this performance just puts me in such a great mood. It has this youthful and carefree joy about it and it's totally contagious!
Even in his most pop song he absolutely kills it like it’s a rock and roll anthem
We fell in love. I knew it had to end. We took what we had and ripped it apart. Here I am down in Kingstown again.
This is my favorite version of Hungry Heart and I'm so happy to listen to it on the boss' channel! life! is! good!!! Thank you so much Bruce, ly ♡
Greetings from Perú! 🇵🇪 Love you so much Bruce! 😭😭😭
To think he didn't want to record this one... one of his best songs. Always a "wake up, people" in his concerts. I love it. Greetings from São Paulo, Brazil!

His songs, reminds me of life experience.. every words in sings it’s a heartfelt..! How he has endured.. Awesome..
Max Weinberg, stoic as always, laying down the beat like a boss...for The Boss.

このアルバムは、良かったなあ。懐かしい～☺。
River を聴くと、いまでも涙があふれそうになる🎷。
ありがとう、Boss 🎸。
I wish I could have been alive then when music was peak I love this song brings back so many memories ❤️☺️
I was saying the same thing. I am 28 years old and I was defff born in the wrong era because the 70s n 80s was the shit!
アルバム、River 最高傑作 私の永遠の新譜です。エンドレスで、車で聴いてます！
タイトル曲 歌詞を噛み締めて聴くと、涙が溢れそうになります！ Boss 、ありがとう😆💕✨。

Is this a rock star enjoying himself or what?

@HotRodimusPrime - Thats why he can put on the same live show 40 years later
Right
Once you become a rock icon --- there are no rules anymore
i want to be in this kind of 70~90's band's concert at least one in my life!
Still one of my very favorite songs. Coolest non-Texan to ever wear cowboy boots. 😁
I born late, this is a Masterpiece.
I love 80's Music ✨️🎸
Love this song. Hearing it makes me feel 20 again!
When you put all your skill points on songwriting and theres none left for dancing
He had to be made bad at something 😅
lol well he is the greatest songwriter of all time
LMAO
🤣🤣...your killin' me! So true tho!
No it's awesome. He is feelin it
One of his best works imo.
