Aug 20, 2008 - This is rock and roll heaven, I just love the rawness of it, desperate rebel youth playing for his life, just before he hit it big. You legend Bruce. Respect..............

Aug 20, 2008 - if your 14, 40 or 95 years old your all very lucky to get to listen to the music of bruce springsteen.if it's growing up from 1972 or radio nowhhere in 2008 he's bruce springsteen the best there ever was.

Aug 20, 2008 - I'm 13 and a huge of Bruce. My friends? 50 cent, and all that garbage. And yeah, I do feel bad for them to.

Aug 20, 2008 - I thought I'd seen it all until this little diddy. That was tremendous. Just goes to show, excellence equals longevity. Lets see how the one-hit wonders of today stack up in 10 or 20 years. And how bout that audience!! Sounds like about 10 people in that club. Can't wait till the Giants Stadium show this July. Bruce is a legend...thankfully he didnt follow in his idol's footstep (Elvis)

Aug 20, 2008 - because people still knew of him so he got more famous and released his first album in 73

Aug 20, 2008 - I love that sequence from 0:26 to 0:30... that little shrug and that smile. He still does that today... that embarrassed/shy reaction.
