    About:
    Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band’s first tour in 10 years ended with an emotional series of 10 concerts at New York’s famed Madison Square Garden. Live In New York City, featuring performances from the last two nights of that tour (chronicled partially in an Emmy Award-winning HBO special), captures “the heart-stopping, pants-dropping, house-rocking, earth-quaking, booty-shaking, love-making, legendary E Street Band” as Bruce and his blood brothers embarked on an exciting new musical chapter together. Now, for the first time, this magical program comes to UA-cam in its entirety for fans new and old to experience.

    I live in NE Ohio and I can tell you first hand this is true - as sad as it is. I grew up watching steel mills shut down left and right and I had no idea of the impact it had. Jobs and pensions that were once promised were gone. My father was a casualty of that. This song hits home - literally.

Many of the songs chosen to be included on the video were unfamiliar to me, as I wasn't much of a fan, UNTIL!!! The intense spirituality of every song included and the combined extraordinary talents that make up The E Street Band, totally blew me away! Also the excellent audio quality of the live performances put the icing on the cake for me! Hence my posted comment 3 yrs ago!

From 150000 jobs to nought over 10 miles in 50 years. 2000 jobs/ mile / year destroyed. I'm also part Scottish, west coast, where the coal & iron indutry packed it up. My Father's a German teacher, so I saw what happened to the Ruhr Valley, stronghold of heavy industry. I listen to this song and I cry EVERYTIME. Got family in Ohio and a Pastor friend in Struthers just next to Youngstown. Only darned shed I saw was from a FRENCH company. Miles of rubble. WHERE THE F**K DID WE GO WRONG ? Some things are VITAL, you just don't let them go. How do you fight without steel ?

      Nicolas, not sure I grasp all of your post, but I think I could summarize (for French, Scottish, and German workers, in an American context)..." we gave our sons to Korea and Viet Nam; now we're wondering what they were dying for." Any war, any time, is advertised as "to preserve our way of life...". Springsteen, I think, is asking, "what about when we preserve YOUR way of life, then you destroy OUR way of life?"

    Here in northeast Ohio, back in eighteen-o-three
    James and Danny Heaton found the ore that was lining Yellow Creek
    They built a blast furnace here along the shore
    And they made the cannon balls that helped the Union win the war
    Here in Youngstown, here in Youngstown
    My sweet Jenny I'm sinking down
    Here darling in Youngstown
    Well my daddy worked the furnaces, kept 'em hotter than hell
    I come home from 'Nam worked my way to scarfer, a job that'd suit the devil as well
    Well taconite coke and limestone fed my children and made my pay
    Them smokestacks reaching like the arms of God into a beautiful sky of soot and clay
    Here in Youngstown, here in Youngstown
    Sweet Jenny I'm sinking down
    Here darling in Youngstown
    Well my daddy come on the Ohio works when he come home from World War Two
    Now the yard's just scrap and rubble, he said "Them big boys did what Hitler couldn't do."
    Yeah these mills they built the tanks and bombs that won this country's wars
    We sent our sons to Korea and Vietnam, now we're wondering what they were dying for
    Here in Youngstown, here in Youngstown
    My sweet Jenny I'm sinking down
    Here darling in Youngstown
    From the Monongahela valley to the Mesabi iron range
    To the coal mines of Appalachia, the story's always the same
    Seven hundred tons of metal a day, now sir you tell me the world's changed
    Once I made you rich enough, rich enough to forget my name
    And Youngstown, and Youngstown
    My sweet Jenny I'm sinking down
    Here darling in Youngstown
    When I die I don't want no part of heaven, I would not do heaven's work well
    I pray the devil comes and takes me to stand in the fiery furnaces of hell
