Thanks, yeah, both links were the same song but your link had the original video.
Believe it or not, I think I actually have that 45RPM somewhere.

That’s two of the originals gone now. Danny Federici died of cancer at 58 about three years ago.

RIP big man...

Bought a ticket in high school or just after, I thought no one would go because the music was well for greasers, man was I wrong. For many of us, the early albums were part of the sound track of our lives. To bad Bruce is a leftist loon..

As much as I like "Thunder Road" this song features the whole band with a neurotic intensity, "She's the One" The "Big Man" makes this song, try to invision a version of it with out him......

Never listened to him because I couldn’t stand his Boss. Maybe I missed out, but music from outspoken, obnoxious liberals like Springsteen is spoiled for me. Same for Bon Jovi, John Mellencamp, Green Day, Pearl Jam, etc. I even have a hard time listening to Paul McCartney and the Beatles, and that’s a pity because I loved the Beatles.

RIP Big Man. You made the E Street Band great. The sax solo in Jungleland is one of the best instrumental solos in rock history.

“I feel so old....”

Me too...

Clarence was the heart and soul of The E Street Band.

I remember a lot of good times listening to them, “down the shore” in the seventies.

I have every album. Sadly,I haven’t listened in years. Springsteen the Socialist, really ticks me off.
