00:01:06,175 --> 00:01:11,145
Now, the E Street Band has come
thousands of miles tonight.
2
00:01:13,817 --> 00:01:16,352
And we're here for one reason.
3
00:01:17,822 --> 00:01:20,022
Because you're here.
4
00:01:24,829 --> 00:01:30,800
And where we want to go, we
can't get there by ourselves.
5
00:01:33,071 --> 00:01:39,176
Where we want to go, we can't
get there by ourselves.
6
00:01:39,178 --> 00:01:41,046
We need you.
7
00:01:44,117 --> 00:01:48,754
So I got one question
that I want to ask you.
8
00:01:48,756 --> 00:01:51,858
Can you feel the spirit?
9
00:01:56,430 --> 00:02:03,069
If you can feel the spirit, I want you
to answer me with a "Yeah, yeah!"
10
00:02:03,071 --> 00:02:05,906
Can you feel the spirit?
11
00:02:05,908 --> 00:02:10,744
Yeah! Yeah!
12
00:02:10,746 --> 00:02:13,915
Can you feel the spirit now?
13
00:02:13,917 --> 00:02:20,989
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
14
00:02:35,038 --> 00:02:41,012
My three words for Bruce Springsteen
are hope, heart and perspective.
15
00:02:41,014 --> 00:02:44,114
Intense, passionate
and earnest.
16
00:02:49,823 --> 00:02:51,789
Bruce is power.
17
00:02:51,791 --> 00:02:53,424
Bruce is belief.
18
00:02:53,426 --> 00:02:57,229
Bruce is togetherness.
19
00:02:57,231 --> 00:03:01,734
My first experience with Bruce
Springsteen was in here
20
00:03:01,736 --> 00:03:05,505
in this venue, 1987, The
Tunnel Of Love Express Tour.
21
00:03:05,507 --> 00:03:09,509
And my journey
started on that night.
22
00:03:09,511 --> 00:03:14,882
I was nine years old and I was
hanging in the fences up here
23
00:03:14,884 --> 00:03:17,485
and having a blast
and, you know,
24
00:03:17,487 --> 00:03:20,955
there must have been 100 people
behind me who couldn't see the show.
25
00:03:20,957 --> 00:03:24,893
But I was a kid at the time,
so they probably thought,
26
00:03:24,895 --> 00:03:27,362
"Hey, let the boy
enjoy himself."
27
00:03:27,364 --> 00:03:30,533
But I remember
I recorded the entire show,
28
00:03:30,535 --> 00:03:35,104
three and a half hours,
on an old Walkman,
29
00:03:35,106 --> 00:03:38,975
and on the old cassette tapes,
and I still have them at home.
30
00:03:38,977 --> 00:03:41,945
I keep them in a box and...
31
00:03:41,947 --> 00:03:45,415
Once every now and then,
I stumble on to this box
32
00:03:45,417 --> 00:03:50,188
and I look at it and I smile, you
know, because I actually remember.
33
00:03:50,190 --> 00:03:54,359
I remember the night. It was
a beautiful summer night.
34
00:03:54,361 --> 00:03:58,364
What these tapes represent
is basically why I keep them
35
00:03:58,366 --> 00:04:03,803
and they represent a great day
in a nine-year-old boy's life
36
00:04:03,805 --> 00:04:06,272
and that's priceless.
37
00:04:06,274 --> 00:04:08,541
My favorite singer
is Bruce Springsteen
38
00:04:08,543 --> 00:04:12,445
because I think
39
00:04:12,447 --> 00:04:16,516
he puts like when
he has a concert,
40
00:04:16,518 --> 00:04:21,556
he puts a lot of effort
into his singing.
41
00:04:21,558 --> 00:04:25,392
Like he takes a deep
breath before every song
42
00:04:25,394 --> 00:04:28,062
and like when the
camera goes close up,
43
00:04:28,064 --> 00:04:31,266
you can just see
his veins popping out
44
00:04:31,268 --> 00:04:34,870
because he's working so
hard and after one song
45
00:04:34,872 --> 00:04:37,840
he's as sweaty as
a normal singer would be
46
00:04:37,842 --> 00:04:40,543
after he's done like 10 songs.
47
00:04:40,545 --> 00:04:43,312
These are some of
the pictures that I've...
48
00:04:43,314 --> 00:04:46,883
I won, or I bought
or framed them.
49
00:04:46,885 --> 00:04:50,453
But this particular one,
it's a little moldy.
50
00:04:50,455 --> 00:04:53,958
I used to hold this
picture up to my son
51
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,927
and say, "Daddy, Daddy."
52
00:04:56,929 --> 00:05:02,099
So I think maybe I played
some head games with my son
53
00:05:02,101 --> 00:05:06,204
for the first few years of his life
thinking that this was his daddy.
54
00:05:06,206 --> 00:05:08,206
A song about growing up.
55
00:05:13,447 --> 00:05:17,316
♪ Well, I stood
stone-like at midnight
56
00:05:17,318 --> 00:05:20,888
♪ Suspended in my masquerae
57
00:05:20,890 --> 00:05:24,423
♪ And I combed my hair
it looked just right
58
00:05:24,425 --> 00:05:28,061
♪ And commanded
the night brigade
59
00:05:28,063 --> 00:05:32,099
♪ I was open to pain
and crossed by the rain
60
00:05:32,101 --> 00:05:35,436
♪ And I walked on
my crooked crutch
61
00:05:35,438 --> 00:05:39,174
♪ I strolled all alone
through a fallout zone
62
00:05:39,176 --> 00:05:43,011
♪ And came out with
my soul untouched
63
00:05:43,013 --> 00:05:46,382
♪ I hid in the clouded
wrath of the crowd
64
00:05:46,384 --> 00:05:49,518
♪ When they said sit down
I stood up
65
00:05:54,258 --> 00:05:56,493
♪ Growing up
66
00:06:00,631 --> 00:06:04,402
♪ Well, the flag of piracy
blew from my mast
67
00:06:04,404 --> 00:06:07,705
♪ My sails were
set wing to wing
68
00:06:07,707 --> 00:06:11,443
♪ I had a jukebox graduate
for first mate
69
00:06:11,445 --> 00:06:15,079
♪ She couldn't sail
but she sure could sing
70
00:06:15,081 --> 00:06:19,084
♪ I pushed B-52 and bombed
them with the blues
71
00:06:19,086 --> 00:06:22,522
♪ With my gear set
stubborn on standing
72
00:06:22,524 --> 00:06:26,159
♪ I broke all the rules,
strafed my old high scho,
73
00:06:26,161 --> 00:06:30,097
♪ And never once
gave thought to landing
74
00:06:30,099 --> 00:06:33,566
♪ I hid in the clouded
wrath of the crowd
75
00:06:33,568 --> 00:06:37,104
♪ But when they said come don
I threw up
76
00:06:41,609 --> 00:06:44,012
♪ Growing up
77
00:07:11,577 --> 00:07:14,778
Hi. I'm Theresa Martin
78
00:07:14,780 --> 00:07:19,752
and this is what I've
collected over the years.
79
00:07:19,754 --> 00:07:26,692
I have an abundance
of love for Bruce.
80
00:07:26,694 --> 00:07:30,529
So, Theresa, when did you actually
become a Bruce Springsteen fan?
81
00:07:30,531 --> 00:07:34,300
I became a Bruce Springsteen
fan in 1982.
82
00:07:34,302 --> 00:07:39,139
Really? And do you recall how
many live shows you actually attended?
83
00:07:39,141 --> 00:07:43,310
I'm not sure. I'm in
double digits clearly.
84
00:07:44,179 --> 00:07:45,780
But I'd say 30 plus.
85
00:07:45,782 --> 00:07:48,716
30 plus, that's quite
an adventure you had.
86
00:07:48,718 --> 00:07:53,121
I also understand that you've won
a few Bruce Springsteen contests.
87
00:07:53,123 --> 00:07:57,292
Is that correct? That is correct.
I've won two.
88
00:07:57,294 --> 00:08:02,565
One being... The first
contest I won was...
89
00:08:06,103 --> 00:08:08,838
Help me.
The Today Show.
90
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,508
That's one. And you know what?
I'm good.
91
00:08:11,510 --> 00:08:14,143
Because you know what?
It was The Today Show.
92
00:08:14,145 --> 00:08:17,714
It was in 2002 when
The Risifirst came out
93
00:08:17,716 --> 00:08:22,286
and I gave birth
to my first son.
94
00:08:22,288 --> 00:08:25,457
And he was a month old.
95
00:08:25,459 --> 00:08:29,461
And I actually was home
96
00:08:29,463 --> 00:08:32,564
and The Today Show
had questions.
97
00:08:32,566 --> 00:08:36,569
I answered them and I won and
we went to New York City.
98
00:08:36,571 --> 00:08:40,840
So I'd kind of like to
introduce my son Dominic.
99
00:08:42,643 --> 00:08:45,112
And this is my son now.
100
00:08:45,114 --> 00:08:48,682
He's 10 years old and...
101
00:08:48,684 --> 00:08:53,754
Well, Dominic, you had a little
bit of a special moment, didn't you?
102
00:08:53,756 --> 00:08:55,823
What's the question?
103
00:08:55,825 --> 00:08:58,159
You had a bit of a special Bruce
Springsteen moment, didn't you?
104
00:08:58,161 --> 00:09:00,829
Yes, I did. And can you
explain that to us?
105
00:09:02,565 --> 00:09:04,332
I've got it.
106
00:09:07,170 --> 00:09:12,141
This is the picture
I got after the concert.
107
00:09:12,143 --> 00:09:13,842
We were waiting on the curb
108
00:09:13,844 --> 00:09:17,180
and a friend was going
to get the vehicle.
109
00:09:17,182 --> 00:09:24,255
And the police came and stopped all
the cars from where they were going.
110
00:09:24,257 --> 00:09:28,826
And a black SUV came.
111
00:09:28,828 --> 00:09:32,764
And in the back seat with his
window down was Bruce Springsteen.
112
00:09:32,766 --> 00:09:35,400
Everyone ran up to the car.
113
00:09:35,402 --> 00:09:38,603
She was told to back off by the
policeman standing next to her.
114
00:09:38,605 --> 00:09:44,844
And I shook his hand while
getting this close-up picture.
115
00:09:44,846 --> 00:09:48,381
Dominic,
where was that concert at?
116
00:09:48,383 --> 00:09:50,316
Fenway Park in Boston.
117
00:09:50,318 --> 00:09:52,819
Awesome. Awesome.
118
00:09:52,821 --> 00:09:56,456
So now you're the next generation
Bruce Springsteen fan.
119
00:09:56,458 --> 00:09:58,759
Yes, I am.
Excellent.
120
00:09:58,761 --> 00:10:00,762
What's your favorite
Bruce song?
121
00:10:00,764 --> 00:10:02,629
Death To My Hometown.
122
00:10:02,631 --> 00:10:03,897
Why?
123
00:10:03,899 --> 00:10:06,401
I like it.
124
00:10:06,403 --> 00:10:08,469
Which is good. However...
125
00:10:08,471 --> 00:10:10,738
Because of the words.
126
00:10:10,740 --> 00:10:14,410
Taught to me by
this person right here.
127
00:10:14,412 --> 00:10:16,979
And when Mommy tells you
to listen to the words,
128
00:10:16,981 --> 00:10:19,648
or understand the words,
what do you say?
129
00:10:19,650 --> 00:10:21,383
Okay.
130
00:10:22,552 --> 00:10:24,854
And do you hear the words?
Yes.
131
00:10:24,856 --> 00:10:27,256
Do you really hear the words?
Yes.
132
00:10:27,258 --> 00:10:28,992
Okay, I just want to make sure.
133
00:10:28,994 --> 00:10:31,261
Thank you, goodbye.
134
00:10:31,263 --> 00:10:34,532
Thank you, Dominic.
Yeah!
135
00:10:34,534 --> 00:10:36,667
So we got to the
park at four o'clock
136
00:10:36,669 --> 00:10:39,303
with our signs with us,
our home-made signs.
137
00:10:39,305 --> 00:10:40,972
♪ You can't start a fire
138
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:43,408
I had my "I'll be your
Courtney Cox" sign.
139
00:10:43,410 --> 00:10:46,311
♪ I'm stranded with
a broken heart
140
00:10:46,313 --> 00:10:49,781
I had my Aviator sunglasses on.
It was pouring with rain.
141
00:10:49,783 --> 00:10:52,252
I had my
Courtney Cox T-shirt on.
142

♪ You can't start a fire
143
00:10:54,956 --> 00:10:57,991
Then James said to me, "Rachel, come on.
Get on my shoulders."
144
00:10:57,993 --> 00:11:00,294
And I was like,
"Oh, no, I don't want to."
145
00:11:00,296 --> 00:11:03,296
I felt bad for the people behind us.
They wouldn't be able to see.
146
00:11:03,298 --> 00:11:06,367
He's like, "Come on. You never know
when we're going to see Bruce again."
147
00:11:07,869 --> 00:11:10,037
Literally, a couple of
seconds into the song,
148
00:11:10,039 --> 00:11:12,006
Bruce spotted me
and started laughing
149
00:11:12,008 --> 00:11:14,643
and he was pointing at me
and I was waving at him.
150
00:11:14,645 --> 00:11:17,612
Next thing I know, I get put on
the big screen with my sign.
151
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,456
The next thing I know, the girl in
front of me just turned around to me
152
00:11:27,458 --> 00:11:31,060
and screamed, "He wants you on the stage!
"He wants you on the stage!"
153
00:11:31,062 --> 00:11:33,830
♪ Hey, baby!
154
00:11:33,832 --> 00:11:37,901
The next thing I know, I'm just being
pushed through a sea of black bodies.
155
00:11:37,903 --> 00:11:42,507
I had my sunglasses on.
I couldn't see anything.
156
00:11:42,509 --> 00:11:46,010
The next thing I know I'm dancing
with Bruce Springsteen on stage.
157
00:12:18,413 --> 00:12:20,715
Before I knew it, it was all over.
That was it.
158
00:12:20,717 --> 00:12:23,352
We took a bow
and he gave me a big hug
159
00:12:23,354 --> 00:12:26,521
and the only thing I could say
to him was, "Bruce, I love you."
160
00:12:28,591 --> 00:12:31,127
♪ You can't start a fire

00:12:31,129 --> 00:12:34,463
♪ Even if we're just
dancing in the dark ♪

00:12:39,470 --> 00:12:45,876
♪ I got a '69 Chevy with a 396
163
00:12:45,878 --> 00:12:48,846
I can't get through a day
without listening to Bruce.
164
00:12:48,848 --> 00:12:50,914
His storytelling is perfect.
165
00:12:50,916 --> 00:12:53,584
It's helped me through
serious highs and...
166
00:12:53,586 --> 00:12:58,089
Since then he was two things
for me, a friend and a teacher.
167
00:12:58,091 --> 00:13:01,926
I think most of all he taught me
how to be a man and a decent man
168
00:13:01,928 --> 00:13:04,163
through his songs
and through his life.
169
00:13:04,165 --> 00:13:06,532
Because I lost my

Whenever I'm feeling
lonely, or depressed,
171
00:13:09,504 --> 00:13:13,006
I can always listen to oe
of his songs or albums
172
00:13:13,008 --> 00:13:15,142
and it always
helps me feel bett.
173
00:13:15,144 --> 00:13:18,612
A song by Bruce can
stop me dead in my tracks,
174
00:13:18,614 --> 00:13:22,784
even a song I've heard over
and over again for 28 years.
175
00:13:22,786 --> 00:13:25,519
But Bruce is timeless.
176
00:13:25,521 --> 00:13:28,956
He's helped me live in my own
time and become who I am.
177
00:13:28,958 --> 00:13:32,894
I've been a fan of
Springsteen's all my life.
178
00:13:32,896 --> 00:13:37,599
He was just standing in that
spotlight and he was so powerful
179
00:13:37,601 --> 00:13:42,204
and the whole crowd was just
mesmerised by what he could do
180
00:13:42,206 --> 00:13:45,742
and the stories that he could tell
and I just remember thinking,
181
00:13:45,744 --> 00:13:52,682
"What is this? Who can do this?
What kind of power is that"

Hi. My name is Kitty.
I'm a truck driver.
186
00:14:12,474 --> 00:14:18,611
And Bruce Springsteen is my favorite
artist to listen to on the road.
187
00:14:18,613 --> 00:14:21,014
Recently I drove
through Arizona
188
00:14:21,016 --> 00:14:25,886
and I listened to
his album Nebraska
189
00:14:25,888 --> 00:14:31,025
and the song
Atlantic City came on.
190
00:14:31,027 --> 00:14:36,231
And it just felt really good,
listening to that loud,
191
00:14:36,233 --> 00:14:38,666
while driving
through the desert.
192
00:14:41,103 --> 00:14:49,011
In fact, I think every
important moment of my life
193
00:14:49,013 --> 00:14:53,250
has a theme song
that's Bruce Springsteen.
194
00:14:53,252 --> 00:14:55,819
So all of these CDs in my car,
195
00:14:55,821 --> 00:14:59,689
absolutely every single one
is Bruce Springsteen.
196
00:14:59,691 --> 00:15:04,695
Wait, actually one is his wife
Patti, my favorite album from Patti.

00:15:04,697 --> 00:15:06,763
But that's all
we listen to in this car,
198
00:15:06,765 --> 00:15:09,200
so my three sons,
they have no choice.
199
00:15:09,202 --> 00:15:11,235
I only listen to Bruce
200
00:15:11,237 --> 00:15:15,740
and they are schooled in the
music of Bruce Springsteen
201
00:15:15,742 --> 00:15:17,676
when they drive
around with Mommy
202
00:15:17,678 --> 00:15:20,212
and I have to take them
all over God's creation.
203
00:15:20,214 --> 00:15:24,950
They know they don't have a choice.
It's no Disney bop nonsense music.
204
00:15:24,952 --> 00:15:27,554
It's Bruce Springsteen.
205
00:15:27,556 --> 00:15:30,057
And I love it, because
it gives me such joy.
206
00:15:30,059 --> 00:15:34,662

So, David, what does
Bruce Springsteen mean to you?
245
00:20:17,906 --> 00:20:23,079
Bruce Springsteen means love,
246
00:20:23,081 --> 00:20:27,182
not for him, but for you.
247
00:20:27,184 --> 00:20:31,254
You being a fan, I've had
Bruce Springsteen songs
248
00:20:31,256 --> 00:20:35,324
rammed down my throat 24/7.
249
00:20:35,326 --> 00:20:39,529
It tends to lose its edge.
It really does.
250
00:20:41,032 --> 00:20:43,166
I've been all over Europe.
251
00:20:43,168 --> 00:20:47,071
So how many concerts
have you been to?
252
00:20:47,073 --> 00:20:49,941
You... I think you reminded me.
It was about eight.
253
00:20:49,943 --> 00:20:53,444
Eight that
I've actually been to.
254
00:20:53,446 --> 00:21:00,219
Yeah, Amsterdam, Paris, I mean,
I've seen some beautiful cities
255
00:21:00,221 --> 00:21:04,391
along the way, but then I've
always had this little bit
256
00:21:04,393 --> 00:21:08,395
where I've had to go to a
concert in the middle of it,
257
00:21:08,397 --> 00:21:11,965
which tends to spoil it for me.
258
00:21:11,967 --> 00:21:15,369
And his dream was to get
on stage with Springsteen.
259
00:21:15,371 --> 00:21:18,339
I heard him talking about
it from the time we met
260
00:21:18,341 --> 00:21:20,441
until it actually happened.
261
00:21:20,443 --> 00:21:23,478
That's my lifelong dream. And I said,
"You're really going to do it?"
262
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,113
And he goes. "I'm going to do
it." I said, "Do you promise?"
263
00:21:26,115 --> 00:21:28,083
And he said, "I promise."
264
00:21:28,085 --> 00:21:32,021
So he puts a suit on. He's dragging
me across the street to get there
265
00:21:32,023 --> 00:21:35,257
and as soon as he got up there,
people are going, "Hey, Elvis."
266
00:21:35,259 --> 00:21:38,428
And they're high fiving him and
they're wanting their picture taken
267
00:21:38,430 --> 00:21:41,265
and they're asking him to sing
songs and he just kind of...
268
00:21:41,267 --> 00:21:43,566
All the anxiety
just melted away.
269
00:21:43,568 --> 00:21:46,603

270

leg was hurting a little bit

that there is no guitar
solo in All Shook Up

the end of the guitar solo,
326
00:25:16,469 --> 00:25:20,739

332

335
00:25:48,437 --> 00:25:50,738
Elvis has left the building!
336
00:25:53,710 --> 00:25:55,676
Thank you, King.
337
00:25:55,678 --> 00:25:59,348
And then I remember
jumping off the stage and...
338
00:25:59,350 --> 00:26:03,286
He got totally mobbed by the crowd
because they were all so excited.
339
00:26:03,288 --> 00:26:06,556
Everybody wanted to hug him and,
you know, like high five him
340
00:26:06,558 --> 00:26:10,560
and I'm just waiting, because I
just can't wait to like hug him
341
00:26:10,562 --> 00:26:13,730
and kiss him and say, "Oh, my
God, we've realized your dream."
342
00:26:13,732 --> 00:26:15,799
And it was like a scene from...
343
00:26:15,801 --> 00:26:19,703
Wasn't it like a scene from Rocky and
Adrian were yelling for each other
344
00:26:19,705 --> 00:26:22,640
just to try to catch up to
each other so we can embrace?
345
00:26:22,642 --> 00:26:24,909
And once we did,
it was like the most...
346
00:26:24,911 --> 00:26:28,346
I don't know. The tears fill your
eyes, because you're so happy.
347
00:26:37,024 --> 00:26:41,694
And as we turn around, we look up and
Bruce was holding that last note.
348
00:26:50,071 --> 00:26:53,041
He pointed to us
and he kept saying,
349
00:26:53,043 --> 00:26:55,976
"The Philly Elvis.
The Philly Elvis."
350
00:26:56,811 --> 00:26:59,080
The Philly Elvis!
351
00:27:00,482 --> 00:27:03,017
The Philly Elvis!
352
00:27:03,019 --> 00:27:08,057
Then the last thing he said, which I'll
never forget. He looks and says...
353
00:27:08,059 --> 00:27:12,027
I have no idea where the
fuck he came from.
354
00:27:13,563 --> 00:27:15,632
Thank you, King.
355
00:27:19,603 --> 00:27:22,972
He means inspiration.
He means joy.
356
00:27:22,974 --> 00:27:26,811
And he means salt of the earth.
357
00:27:26,813 --> 00:27:30,414
I know it's three words,
of the three words
358
00:27:30,416 --> 00:27:32,683
but I don't want to alter
salt of the earth.
359
00:27:32,685 --> 00:27:35,787
He's just the best.
He's the best.
360
00:27:35,789 --> 00:27:39,624
Happy, handsome and hot.
361
00:27:39,626 --> 00:27:45,397
Supernatural,
divine, inspiration.
362
00:27:45,399 --> 00:27:46,898
My soul brother.
363
00:27:46,900 --> 00:27:50,937
A local legend.
364
00:27:50,939 --> 00:27:56,008
In three words, I would
say, in him we trust.
365
00:27:56,010 --> 00:27:58,746
Am I looking okay? Okay.
366
00:27:58,748 --> 00:28:01,516
Passion, passion, passion.
367
00:28:02,984 --> 00:28:07,088
It was March 29th, 1976,
368
00:28:07,090 --> 00:28:09,924
right smack in the
middle of the '70s.
369
00:28:09,926 --> 00:28:13,061
And it seemed like
all our parents were gone.
370
00:28:13,063 --> 00:28:16,165
Just working,
371
00:28:16,167 --> 00:28:18,833
busy, drunk
at the country club.
372
00:28:18,835 --> 00:28:23,105
So somehow it was okay
for a group of girls
373
00:28:23,107 --> 00:28:29,045
to go to see a rock 'n' roll
concert on a Monday night
374
00:28:29,047 --> 00:28:31,415
in March of our 9th grade year.
375
00:28:31,417 --> 00:28:35,153
I don't remember what happened
when we got to the concert.
376
00:28:35,155 --> 00:28:37,789
I don't know what happened
to the other girls,
377
00:28:37,791 --> 00:28:40,057
but I know that
as soon as I got there,
378
00:28:40,059 --> 00:28:42,026
as soon as the lights went out,
379
00:28:42,028 --> 00:28:45,062
I made my way
to the front of the stage,
380
00:28:45,064 --> 00:28:47,132
back when you could do that.
381
00:28:49,502 --> 00:28:55,474
And was front and center up against
the stage right in front of Bruce.
382
00:28:55,476 --> 00:28:58,778
Even after all these years and
all the shows that I've seen,
383
00:28:58,780 --> 00:29:02,148
the concert still
defies description.
384
00:29:02,150 --> 00:29:08,722
And I think that only the people
who saw him in the early days
385
00:29:08,724 --> 00:29:14,596
in the small venues,
before the mega crowds...
386
00:29:14,598 --> 00:29:18,934
And when you could get so close
that you were sharing the sweat
387
00:29:18,936 --> 00:29:22,971
and spit of whatever band
member you were closest to,
388
00:29:22,973 --> 00:29:29,645
can really know the ferocity and
intimacy of those concerts.

After graduation, I
couldn't really get a job
426
00:32:00,013 --> 00:32:05,917
and so I started
working at Jamba Juice
427
00:32:05,919 --> 00:32:08,920
making oatmeal
in the early morning.
428
00:32:08,922 --> 00:32:11,223
I'd have to get up
at three o'clock.
429
00:32:11,225 --> 00:32:15,827
I didn't have a car,
so I rode my bike to work
430
00:32:15,829 --> 00:32:19,432
and that was when
Working on a Dreacame out.
431
00:32:19,434 --> 00:32:23,369
I would listen to that on my
way to work and feel like,
432
00:32:23,371 --> 00:32:28,208
"Oh, I'm such
a hard-working person."
433
00:32:29,945 --> 00:32:33,847
"I'm the backbone of
America." That's what...
434
00:32:33,849 --> 00:32:39,754
Well, sometimes I feel like that
when I listen to Bruce like,
435
00:32:39,756 --> 00:32:45,928
you know, like I'm really
important, the work I do, the...
436
00:32:49,265 --> 00:32:52,768
The more physically
demanding my job is,
437
00:32:52,770 --> 00:32:55,405
the more important I am,
when I listen to Bruce.
438
00:32:55,407 --> 00:33:00,744
I don't know if that makes any
sense, but that's how I feel.
439
00:33:00,746 --> 00:33:04,816
Madison Square Garden,
2000, the Reunion Tour.
440
00:33:06,084 --> 00:33:07,884
I'd worked in
a factory for 20 years
441
00:33:07,886 --> 00:33:11,189
and I'd saved up
enough money eventually
442
00:33:11,191 --> 00:33:15,193
to afford to go on a Bruce
trip as we call it,
443
00:33:15,195 --> 00:33:19,832
four days in New York, two
concerts at Madison Square Garden.
444
00:33:19,834 --> 00:33:25,070
So me and my lovely wife Kath
stayed in the Hotel Pennsylvania,
445
00:33:25,072 --> 00:33:28,775
across the road from
Madison Square Garden.
446
00:33:28,777 --> 00:33:31,377
We went down to the bar
to pick up our tickets
447
00:33:31,379 --> 00:33:35,750
on the night of the
concert, the first concert,
448
00:33:37,819 --> 00:33:40,354
and excitedly opened the
envelope, looked at the tickets,
449
00:33:40,356 --> 00:33:44,024
looked at the map seating plan
450
00:33:44,026 --> 00:33:47,995
and we were right at the
back, right at the top.
451
00:33:47,997 --> 00:33:51,133
So a bit disappointed,
but we were in New York,
452
00:33:51,135 --> 00:33:54,003
America for the first time.
453
00:33:54,005 --> 00:33:58,441
So looked at the positives,
we went across the road,
454
00:33:58,443 --> 00:34:01,944
up the escalators right to
the top, right to the back,
455
00:34:01,946 --> 00:34:04,114
and as we got to the top level,
456
00:34:04,116 --> 00:34:09,987
this rather bear-like character
in baggy shorts and a beard,
457
00:34:09,989 --> 00:34:13,557
as he walked past me,
muttered the immortal words,
458
00:34:14,559 --> 00:34:17,162
"You want to be upgraded?"
459
00:34:17,164 --> 00:34:20,799
Sorry? Didn't know what he meant?
Didn't quite hear him.
460
00:34:20,801 --> 00:34:24,068
"Let me see your tickets," he said,
so I showed him our tickets.
461
00:34:24,070 --> 00:34:26,005
He looked at them and said,
462
00:34:26,007 --> 00:34:28,407
"I think we can do better than that.
Give me your wrist."
463
00:34:28,409 --> 00:34:31,911
I put my wrist out and he
slapped an orange wristband
464
00:34:31,913 --> 00:34:35,348
on my wrist and Kath's and
I said, "What's that for?"
465
00:34:35,350 --> 00:34:38,818
He said, "Don't remove that from your wrist.
Don't leave the building."
466
00:34:38,820 --> 00:34:41,888
"If you leave the building,
you won't be allowed back in."
467
00:34:41,890 --> 00:34:44,425
And like he'd
said it 1,000 times.
468
00:34:44,427 --> 00:34:46,394
He put our tickets
in his pockets
469
00:34:46,396 --> 00:34:49,597
and then he peeled off a couple
of tickets, gave them to us
470
00:34:49,599 --> 00:34:51,432
and said something like,
471
00:34:51,434 --> 00:34:54,436
"I work for Bruce. I don't
want any money from you."
472
00:34:54,438 --> 00:34:58,507
"I don't want any recognition. Please
don't point me out to other people."
473
00:34:58,509 --> 00:35:01,109
"Thank you for your support.
Enjoy the show."
474
00:35:01,111 --> 00:35:03,179
And he was gone.
475
00:35:03,181 --> 00:35:08,284
So we're looking at the tickets,
entrance whatever it was.
476
00:35:08,286 --> 00:35:10,386
We thought, "We'd better
find this entrance, then."
477
00:35:10,388 --> 00:35:14,023
So we walked round Madison
Square Garden at the top
478
00:35:14,025 --> 00:35:17,094
and there was no entrance
and I thought,
479
00:35:17,096 --> 00:35:20,297
"I've just given my tickets
to a complete stranger"
480
00:35:20,299 --> 00:35:24,068
"and we've got tickets that
don't get us in anywhere."
481
00:35:24,070 --> 00:35:28,139
Kath, my wife, pointed out that
we'd just gone past a cocktail bar,
482
00:35:28,141 --> 00:35:33,111
like they do in America, not a
beer stand like in England.
483
00:35:33,113 --> 00:35:36,315
And she said, "There's a couple in
there with orange wristbands on."
484
00:35:36,317 --> 00:35:38,950
"Let's go and ask them."
We went to the cocktail bar.
485
00:35:38,952 --> 00:35:41,420
Sure enough, very elegant
couple sitting there,
486
00:35:41,422 --> 00:35:44,191
and we said, "Excuse me".
And we told them our story.
487
00:35:44,193 --> 00:35:46,225
He said,
"Let me see your tickets."
488
00:35:46,227 --> 00:35:48,495
He looked at the
tickets and he goes,
489
00:35:48,497 --> 00:35:51,531
"You got the best seats in the house.
What's your problem?"
490
00:35:51,533 --> 00:35:55,068
I still found it
a bit hard to believe.
491
00:35:55,070 --> 00:35:58,473
But sure enough we went to
a staff member, showed him
492
00:35:58,475 --> 00:36:02,077
and he just pointed us down
through that entrance
493
00:36:02,079 --> 00:36:06,682
and then the next level down,
keep going, keep going.
494
00:36:06,684 --> 00:36:09,418
We got to the back
of the front section
495
00:36:09,420 --> 00:36:11,520
with the maroon rope
across and thought,
496
00:36:11,522 --> 00:36:15,324
"Oh, we must be behind here somewhere.
This is fantastic."
497
00:36:15,326 --> 00:36:18,361
We showed the man.
He unclipped the rope.
498
00:36:18,363 --> 00:36:20,697
"Down to the front, sir."
499
00:36:20,699 --> 00:36:25,603
And we ended up on the front
row at Madison Square Garden
500
00:36:25,605 --> 00:36:28,505
to see Bruce Springsteen
and the E Street Band
501
00:36:28,507 --> 00:36:31,442
in the year 2000.
502
00:36:31,444 --> 00:36:35,013
I got so excited
I bought my wife
503
00:36:35,015 --> 00:36:38,951
three glasses of champagne
at seven dollars a glass.
504
00:36:38,953 --> 00:36:41,586
And I was a factory
worker at the time.
505
00:36:41,588 --> 00:36:45,223
And it was phenomenal.
506
00:36:45,225 --> 00:36:48,661
So that's what it's like to
be a Bruce Springsteen fan.
507
00:36:48,663 --> 00:36:54,701

522
00:39:10,151 --> 00:39:15,389
Here we are just hanging out in the
evening at home in our living room,
523
00:39:15,391 --> 00:39:18,258
talking about Bruce Springsteen,
like we do every night.
524
00:39:18,260 --> 00:39:21,562
Yes, we do.
Okay.
525
00:39:21,564 --> 00:39:26,834
Anyway, this is my vintage shirt.
Remember this one?
526
00:39:26,836 --> 00:39:30,772
I hardly ever wear it, because
I have to preserve it.
527
00:39:30,774 --> 00:39:34,510
And I never even went to a show.
How did you get that shirt?
528
00:39:34,512 --> 00:39:36,245
I never even went to a show.
529
00:39:36,247 --> 00:39:39,315
We'd never been able to get
tickets when we had money
530
00:39:39,317 --> 00:39:42,252
and then we didn't have
money, so we couldn't go.
531
00:39:42,254 --> 00:39:45,822
Unfortunately not, but we're
still huge Bruce fans.
532
00:39:45,824 --> 00:39:48,225
Oh, God, honey.
What? We are.
533
00:39:48,227 --> 00:39:50,227
I know we are.
All right, so?
534
00:39:52,632 --> 00:39:56,668
Anyway, yes, this was my ex-boyfriend
who I was living with in Manhattan
535
00:39:56,670 --> 00:40:03,208
and he was a musician and I was
a writer-actress-waitress.
536
00:40:03,210 --> 00:40:07,812
And I think he went to the show,
but I was already seeing you.
537
00:40:07,814 --> 00:40:10,650
Then he was trying to woo me
back with the Bruce shirt.
538
00:40:10,652 --> 00:40:13,319
And it didn't quite work.
And I won.
539
00:40:13,321 --> 00:40:16,622
He might have been able to woo me
back if he'd bought Bruce with him.
540
00:40:18,292 --> 00:40:21,595
Anyway, yeah, so it's
my favorite shirt.
541
00:40:21,597 --> 00:40:24,498
I don't wear it too often.
I don't want to wear it out.
542
00:40:24,500 --> 00:40:26,800
Right, but for this occasion...
543
00:40:26,802 --> 00:40:28,636
But it's funny because we
were talking the other night.
544
00:40:28,638 --> 00:40:31,038
We were saying about how...
545
00:40:33,475 --> 00:40:39,815
You know, we were talking about like
how Bruce is kind of in our lives
546
00:40:39,817 --> 00:40:42,551
and stuff like that and...
547
00:40:42,553 --> 00:40:46,256
And we were talking about
like the fact that we're...
548
00:40:46,258 --> 00:40:49,492
It sounds so stupid, but we
are kind of like the people
549
00:40:49,494 --> 00:40:52,295
that are in his songs
in different ways.
550
00:40:52,297 --> 00:40:55,299
Very much so, blue collar.
Blue collar.
551
00:40:55,301 --> 00:40:57,568
Together 28 years.
Struggling.
552
00:40:57,570 --> 00:40:59,669
Yeah, struggling with the kids
553
00:40:59,671 --> 00:41:03,374
and you go to work
every day in Manhattan
554
00:41:03,376 --> 00:41:07,545
and works with his hands and has
been doing that for over 30 years.
555
00:41:07,547 --> 00:41:11,350
But we're still together.
That's the main thing.
556
00:41:11,352 --> 00:41:15,487
But if you say it one more
time, we might not be.
557
00:41:15,489 --> 00:41:19,459
So I've got these tickets to see
Bruce with my girlfriend in Hamilton
558
00:41:19,461 --> 00:41:23,963
and she calls me on October 20th,
the night before the concert,
559
00:41:23,965 --> 00:41:29,003
while I'm at work and just
tells me, "It's over."
560
00:41:29,005 --> 00:41:32,906
And I think, "This is going to
be the worst day of my life."
561
00:41:32,908 --> 00:41:37,879
So I get home, I get drinking and
I don't know what else to do,
562
00:41:37,881 --> 00:41:41,883
or what to think except I
guess I need somebody else
563
00:41:41,885 --> 00:41:44,653
to go see
Bruce Springsteen with me.
564
00:41:44,655 --> 00:41:48,757
And I guess that
won't be too hard to find.
565
00:41:48,759 --> 00:41:55,599
And then I think, "I've got
tickets on the floor."
566
00:41:55,601 --> 00:42:02,506
And I realized, "No, no, no,
what I need is a sign."
567
00:42:25,498 --> 00:42:29,536
Hi, Bruce,
I just got dumped.
568
00:42:29,538 --> 00:42:31,838
We all know what that's like.
569
00:42:33,741 --> 00:42:35,542
Where's my man, right there?
570
00:42:37,913 --> 00:42:41,449
What happened, bro?
571
00:42:41,451 --> 00:42:44,418
She didn't think I was
spending enough time with her.
572
00:42:46,056 --> 00:42:47,855
You probably weren't.
573
00:42:54,765 --> 00:42:56,798
Can you get a hug?
574
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:58,633
Come on up here.
575
00:43:02,606 --> 00:43:04,574
It's going to be okay.
576
00:43:04,576 --> 00:43:06,843
It's going to be all right.
577
00:43:06,845 --> 00:43:08,545
Don't worry about a thing.
578
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:22,961
I got dumped
plenty of times myself.
579
00:43:22,963 --> 00:43:25,964
Oh, they're regretting it now.
580
00:43:25,966 --> 00:43:28,901
That's right.
She'll be regretting it.
581
00:43:33,006 --> 00:43:38,078
That's right. They left too
soon, man, too soon they quit.
582
00:43:41,649 --> 00:43:43,717
Aha!
583
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:47,087

advance money, they left too soon.

Hope, insurance and redemption.
609
00:45:28,834 --> 00:45:32,770
Working-class hero.
610
00:45:32,772 --> 00:45:36,308
And I think that in general Polish
people could relate to his music,
611
00:45:36,310 --> 00:45:40,546
especially during communism, because
he was singing about freedom.
612
00:45:40,548 --> 00:45:43,883
When you... At the time people
couldn't speak English so well,
613
00:45:43,885 --> 00:45:47,819
so when like in the song
Born in the USA,
614
00:45:47,821 --> 00:45:51,658
they could understand
only the chorus,
615
00:45:51,660 --> 00:45:54,260
so everybody was thinking that,
616
00:45:54,262 --> 00:45:58,699
"Oh, he's praising the fact that
he's an American. It's so great"
617
00:45:58,701 --> 00:46:03,037
I guess that if you hear him singing
Born in the USA with such charisma,
618
00:46:03,039 --> 00:46:05,873
you want to be like that.
I want to be an American, too.
619
00:46:05,875 --> 00:46:09,878
So those were like the sounds of
freedom, I would say, really.

And a special moment
for me was when
637
00:47:15,686 --> 00:47:20,088
Bruce decided to go on the Reunion
Tour with the E Street Band
638
00:47:20,090 --> 00:47:24,026
just around the millennium and the
boys, they hit Copenhagen as well.
639
00:47:24,028 --> 00:47:29,666
And I was here. It was one
of those nights to remember.
640
00:47:29,668 --> 00:47:34,238
I remember during
the encore of the show,
641
00:47:34,240 --> 00:47:36,873
Bruce decides to
play Blood Brothers,
642
00:47:36,875 --> 00:47:39,943
beautiful song, beautiful song.
643
00:47:39,945 --> 00:47:44,081
And during the
last verse of the song,
644
00:47:44,083 --> 00:47:48,086
the guy next to me...
I don't know his name.
645
00:47:48,088 --> 00:47:51,989
I'd never seen him before.
I haven't seen him since.
646
00:47:51,991 --> 00:47:54,459
He decides to
put his arm around me.
647
00:47:54,461 --> 00:47:58,998
You know, all of a sudden, this
big guy has his arm around me.
648
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:03,002
And it was just one of those moments
where it didn't seem weird at all.

♪ My blood brothers
666
00:50:00,999 --> 00:50:03,901
I remember walking home
after the show with my girl
667
00:50:03,903 --> 00:50:08,339
and she said to me, "At some point, I
felt like I was the only one there."
668

"I felt like he
was playing for me."

And I said, "I know. I know exactly
what you're talking about. I know."
670
00:50:25,359 --> 00:50:29,530
Hello. My name is Jane.
671
00:50:29,532 --> 00:50:35,936
I'm living in Helsingor, in
Denmark, just a small town.
672
00:50:35,938 --> 00:50:39,207
This is the first time I've
ever tried to make a video
673
00:50:39,209 --> 00:50:42,611
from my camera,
so this is not very good.
674
00:50:42,613 --> 00:50:48,050
However, I wish to say
something about me and Bruce.
675
00:50:48,052 --> 00:50:52,088
We have been friends
ever since 1985,
676
00:50:52,090 --> 00:50:56,660
though he do not know me.
677
00:50:56,662 --> 00:51:02,266
I have listened to his music
every day since '85.
678
00:51:02,268 --> 00:51:04,903
I know the lyrics.
I know the music.
679
00:51:04,905 --> 00:51:11,075
Every day when I go home for work,
I hear his records in my car.
680
00:51:11,077 --> 00:51:13,311
I sort of relax.
681
00:51:13,313 --> 00:51:18,484
I sort of get in a very good
mood when I listen to Bruce.
682
00:51:18,486 --> 00:51:23,689
It doesn't matter whether it is
the new music or the old music.
683
00:51:23,691 --> 00:51:27,026
I just love listening
to his music.
684
00:51:27,028 --> 00:51:30,697
I'm not the kind of fan who
knows the size of his shoes,
685
00:51:30,699 --> 00:51:34,434
or the names of his children,
although I know he has three children
686
00:51:34,436 --> 00:51:38,673
and he has a lovely wife Patti.
687
00:51:38,675 --> 00:51:43,644
Which is also...
She has a wonderful vocal.
688
00:51:43,646 --> 00:51:48,349
And, of course, I understand
why he loves his woman.
689
00:51:48,351 --> 00:51:54,256
One of the best music I have
heard him sing is the...
690
00:51:54,258 --> 00:51:56,191
Red Headed Woman.
691
00:51:56,193 --> 00:52:01,331
It is the kind of song that a man
who really loves his woman has made
692
00:52:01,333 --> 00:52:07,303
and it must be wonderful to be
Patti to receive such a song.
693
00:52:10,542 --> 00:52:14,111
I don't know what to say. I'm the
kind of fan who has attended
694
00:52:14,113 --> 00:52:18,717
all his concerts
since '85 here in Denmark.
695
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:23,989
I always stand in the first
row, screaming and shouting
696
00:52:23,991 --> 00:52:27,560
and dancing like a teenager
to a Beatles' concert.
697
00:52:29,429 --> 00:52:31,664
This summer I was that lucky
698
00:52:31,666 --> 00:52:36,737
that finally, after all
these years, I touched him.
699
00:52:36,739 --> 00:52:41,375
We touched each other twice
in Roskilde in Denmark
700
00:52:41,377 --> 00:52:47,547
and I cried like... I wept
because it was so big.
701
00:52:47,549 --> 00:52:51,386
It's a great song about a great
subject, cunnilingus. That's right.
702
00:52:51,388 --> 00:52:57,458
Yeah. I hope I'm pronouncing
that correctly.
703
00:52:57,460 --> 00:53:02,698
Yeah, as I like to say, if you can
pronounce it, you can probably do it.
704
00:53:02,700 --> 00:53:04,400
That's right.
705
00:53:05,802 --> 00:53:11,374
And what can I say about it?
It's a college town.
706
00:53:11,376 --> 00:53:14,077
There's probably people
practicing cunnilingus out there
707
00:53:14,079 --> 00:53:16,679
as we speak tonight.
708
00:53:16,681 --> 00:53:20,583
I hope so
and I do mean practicing,
709
00:53:20,585 --> 00:53:23,354
because you young
whipper-snappers,
710
00:53:23,356 --> 00:53:26,323
it takes a while to get that
under your belt.
711
00:53:28,127 --> 00:53:31,730
It's like balancing a plate
on the end of your nose.
712
00:53:31,732 --> 00:53:33,799
It's not as easy as it looks.
713
00:53:37,370 --> 00:53:42,508
It takes some dedication,
it takes discipline,
714
00:53:42,510 --> 00:53:45,479
attention to craft and detail.
715
00:53:45,481 --> 00:53:48,681
That's right.
It takes... Yes.
716
00:53:51,086 --> 00:53:55,856
It takes patience, patience
and more patience.
717
00:53:59,328 --> 00:54:01,396
As I usually say.
718
00:54:02,231 --> 00:54:05,433

00:54:05,435 --> 00:54:08,270

Freudian complications

00:54:08,272 --> 00:54:10,673
of moving from one song
into the other.

I hadn't been to a ton
of rock 'n' roll yet,
738
00:55:32,665 --> 00:55:36,200
but I'd seen my share of shows.
739
00:55:36,202 --> 00:55:39,303
And I understood in some way
that what I was witnessing
740
00:55:39,305 --> 00:55:45,843
was something far beyond me
and my world as I knew it.
741
00:55:45,845 --> 00:55:52,650
I was way too in the moment to
know that my life was changing,
742
00:55:52,652 --> 00:55:58,592
but I did know that with each song,
I was leaving something behind.
743
00:56:00,361 --> 00:56:03,430
The really critical
departure happened during
744
00:56:03,432 --> 00:56:09,336
the long soul-shaking
instrumental in Jungleland.
745
00:56:09,338 --> 00:56:14,308
He turned his back to us and
he walked towards the drum.
746
00:56:16,746 --> 00:56:23,018
He swayed and he danced to the sax,
the bass, the organ, the piano.
747
00:56:23,020 --> 00:56:30,860
He was young and taut
and all that man and men
748
00:56:30,862 --> 00:56:36,899
and song and sound
became something bigger
749
00:56:36,901 --> 00:56:42,306
and more powerful than anything
I understood or knew yet
750
00:56:42,308 --> 00:56:45,776
in my young body.
751
00:56:45,778 --> 00:56:48,913
And it was something
about rock 'n' roll and sex
752
00:56:48,915 --> 00:56:53,551
and men and music and myself
753
00:56:53,553 --> 00:56:59,991
and I grew a few years
and a few inches
754
00:56:59,993 --> 00:57:06,833
when that incredibly beautiful
man had his perfect body
755
00:57:06,835 --> 00:57:14,074
moving perfectly to
that crazy, sexy, sad song.
756
00:57:14,076 --> 00:57:18,979
Everyone was totally
transfixed, tranced out.
757
00:57:18,981 --> 00:57:24,085
I don't know if
anybody else was there,
758
00:57:24,087 --> 00:57:26,921
but it was like the genie had
been let out of the bottle
759
00:57:26,923 --> 00:57:29,491
and for me there
was no going back.
760
00:57:31,895 --> 00:57:35,698
I think I cried.
I must have.
761
00:57:35,700 --> 00:57:38,501
I was ripped out of my skin.
762
00:57:38,503 --> 00:57:40,937
I was ripped out of my senses.
763
00:57:40,939 --> 00:57:46,609
It was like the thunderbird had
swooped and had me in its talons.
764
00:57:46,611 --> 00:57:51,748
And then someone behind me
lifts me up onto the stage,
765
00:57:51,750 --> 00:57:54,719
really gently,
just lifts me up,
766
00:57:54,721 --> 00:57:58,056
and I stand up and I'm standing
right there next to him.
767
00:57:58,058 --> 00:58:02,728
And I'm so close I can see
the sweat through his jeans
768
00:58:02,730 --> 00:58:06,566
and his dirty Converse.
769
00:58:06,568 --> 00:58:09,868
And I look at him and he's
looking at me and he smiles
770
00:58:09,870 --> 00:58:11,871
and I sort of moved to the side
771
00:58:11,873 --> 00:58:14,540
and the next thing
I know someone comes
772
00:58:14,542 --> 00:58:21,148
and really gently lowers me back
down to where I was before.
773
00:58:21,150 --> 00:58:25,886
And I look around and there are
men all around me smiling.

01:02:35,062 --> 01:02:38,764
And then 12 hours late, I'm standing
with my guitar from the street,
833
01:02:38,766 --> 01:02:42,368
getting ready to play some cafes and
this guy comes up to me and says,
834
01:02:42,370 --> 01:02:45,238
"Hey, Bruce is coming
down the street."
835
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:49,075
And I said, "Oh, yeah."
Just another hero for me.
836
01:02:49,077 --> 01:02:51,979
Didn't really believe it, but
then I looked across the street
837
01:02:51,981 --> 01:02:55,683
and I see Bruce out there and
this tall black man with him
838
01:02:55,685 --> 01:03:00,789
and that was Clarence Clemons
and I said, "Well..."
839
01:03:00,791 --> 01:03:04,693
I shouted out, "Hey, Bruce, why don't
you come and play us the real thing?"
840
01:03:04,695 --> 01:03:08,330
He kind of looked at me and
thought it was just funny
841
01:03:08,332 --> 01:03:10,800
and then I said again,
"Hey, come on."
842
01:03:10,802 --> 01:03:13,869
And then he made a U-turn.
He came across the street.
843
01:03:13,871 --> 01:03:17,339
And that's where this picture
started happening here.
844
01:03:17,341 --> 01:03:20,042
I handed him one of the guitars
845
01:03:20,044 --> 01:03:23,346
and he starts here
on the song I'm on Fire.
846
01:03:23,348 --> 01:03:25,849
♪ Hey little girl
is your daddy home
847
01:03:25,851 --> 01:03:30,320
♪ Did he go and
leave you all alone
848
01:03:30,322 --> 01:03:33,057
♪ I got a bad desire
849
01:03:34,293 --> 01:03:38,329
♪ Oh-oh-oh, I'm on fire
850
01:03:38,331 --> 01:03:42,501
And I said, "Hey, I got to
do something for my family."
851
01:03:42,503 --> 01:03:45,804
I saw there was a video
camera across, you know,
852
01:03:45,806 --> 01:03:48,507
so I came behind him.
853
01:03:50,778 --> 01:03:55,415
♪ Oh-oh-oh, I'm on fire
854
01:03:55,417 --> 01:03:59,987
I was kind of nervous about
what he would feel about it,
855
01:03:59,989 --> 01:04:06,193
but I kind of said, "Well,
hey, he should be cool enough",
856
01:04:06,195 --> 01:04:09,431
"you know, and this is the street.
We're all kings on the street."
857
01:04:09,433 --> 01:04:11,673
"There's nobody
above another there."
858
01:04:22,980 --> 01:04:25,915
And it's kind of hard to
believe ths was all happening.
859
01:04:25,917 --> 01:04:29,218
There was a crowd in front,
you know, and...
860
01:04:30,855 --> 01:04:32,956
You never can tell
what happens in life.
861
01:04:32,958 --> 01:04:35,959
You never can tell.
It was amazing.
862
01:04:37,162 --> 01:04:39,096
What do you know?
863
01:04:49,943 --> 01:04:54,580
We got on with it for I think it
was 15 minutes and 17 seconds.
864
01:04:54,582 --> 01:05:00,387
So, they say every man has 15
minutes of fame in his life.
865
01:05:00,389 --> 01:05:03,890
I went a bit overboard.
866
01:05:03,892 --> 01:05:08,296
♪ Even if we're just
dancing in the dark
867
01:05:11,833 --> 01:05:15,837
♪ Even if we're just
dancing in the dark ♪
868
01:05:19,174 --> 01:05:22,544
I didn't really realize
what had happened.
869
01:05:22,546 --> 01:05:26,248
It was kind of...
It was kind of too qui.
870
01:05:34,959 --> 01:05:40,130
Then the day after I was on the
front pe singing with Bruce.
871
01:05:42,234 --> 01:05:46,937
This is a great thg
that such a big man
872
01:05:46,939 --> 01:05:51,076
would come and step down
and give, you know...
873
01:05:51,078 --> 01:05:55,213
He wasn't... He was just
one of us, you know.
874
01:05:55,215 --> 01:05:59,185
Okay, he had had success, but
he was still just one of us
875
01:05:59,187 --> 01:06:03,055
and that's what I really
loved about it, you know.
876
01:06:03,057 --> 01:06:05,391
I really loved that.
877
01:06:07,495 --> 01:06:11,932
We just said goodbye to one another
and he went his way and I went mine.
878
01:06:11,934 --> 01:06:16,036
It was exactly how it should
happen on the street, you know.
879
01:06:23,345 --> 01:06:26,314
Hi, my name is Gillian.
880
01:06:26,316 --> 01:06:29,050
Hi, my name's Gillian.
881
01:06:29,052 --> 01:06:31,086
Hi, my name's Gillian
882
01:06:31,088 --> 01:06:33,355
and I'm a pretty big...
I'm a...
883
01:06:33,357 --> 01:06:37,693
Hi, my name's Gillian and I'm a
pretty big Bruce Springsteen fan.
884
01:06:37,695 --> 01:06:41,097
After my first
Bruce brought... Hi.
885
01:06:41,099 --> 01:06:43,165
No.
886
01:06:43,167 --> 01:06:45,001
No.
887
01:06:48,273 --> 01:06:53,244
Hi. My name's Gillian and I'm a
pretty big Bruce Springsteen fan.
888
01:06:53,246 --> 01:06:56,213
After my first
Bruce concert in April,
889
01:06:56,215 --> 01:06:59,483
I was so excited
and so full of emotion
890
01:06:59,485 --> 01:07:03,956
and I wanted to let Bruce know
how important he was to me,
891
01:07:03,958 --> 01:07:07,292
so I wrote him a letter, thinking
I'd be able to send it to him,
892
01:07:07,294 --> 01:07:11,965
but I couldn't find
a fan mail address.
893
01:07:11,967 --> 01:07:15,234
So I wrote it anyway
and just put it out there
894
01:07:15,236 --> 01:07:18,705
in case I'd ever have the chance
to tell him how important he is
895
01:07:18,707 --> 01:07:21,342
and his music is in my life.
896
01:07:21,344 --> 01:07:24,177
So this is the perfect
opportunity for that,
897
01:07:24,179 --> 01:07:27,014
so I'm going to share
that letter now.
898
01:07:27,016 --> 01:07:29,985
Dear Bruce, to say
I am a fan of yours
899
01:07:29,987 --> 01:07:32,553
would be quite
an understatement.
900
01:07:32,555 --> 01:07:35,390
Your music is woven
into my very being.
901
01:07:35,392 --> 01:07:38,393
It has become a part
of the story of me,
902
01:07:38,395 --> 01:07:43,131
turning into a kind of soundtrack of
the past couple of years of my life.
903
01:07:43,133 --> 01:07:46,168
I first discovered your
music about four years ago.
904
01:07:46,170 --> 01:07:49,438
I heard Glory Days on the radio
and I guess it spoke to me
905
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:52,174
and to where I was
at that point in my life.
906
01:07:52,176 --> 01:07:54,277
I started looking
at more of your songs
907
01:07:54,279 --> 01:07:57,315
and my parents were quite amused
that I was suddenly listening
908
01:07:57,317 --> 01:08:00,517
to music from their time.
909
01:08:00,519 --> 01:08:05,623
But that's the thing, Bruce, your
music doesn't have a time or a place.
910
01:08:05,625 --> 01:08:09,694
Your music is a story and it
bends and flows into the stories
911
01:08:09,696 --> 01:08:12,231
of everyone who listens to it.
912
01:08:12,233 --> 01:08:16,301
I guess what I'm trying
to say is thank you.
913
01:08:16,303 --> 01:08:18,670
It seems like every time
I hit a bump in life,
914
01:08:18,672 --> 01:08:21,574
I turn to you
and to your songs.
915
01:08:21,576 --> 01:08:24,711
They pick me up and dust me
off in a way that no one
916
01:08:24,713 --> 01:08:27,647
and nothing else can.
917
01:08:27,649 --> 01:08:30,351
We all go through
dark times in life
918
01:08:30,353 --> 01:08:33,319
and sometimes things
aren't going to get better
919
01:08:33,321 --> 01:08:35,723
and they're not going
to be all right.
920
01:08:35,725 --> 01:08:39,561
In those times, music can
be the best companion,
921
01:08:39,563 --> 01:08:43,465
because it reminds you there can
still be beauty in this world
922
01:08:43,467 --> 01:08:47,470
and that all is not lost
in spite of it all.
923
01:08:47,472 --> 01:08:52,742
Without you, I would be lost.
Thank you.
924
01:08:52,744 --> 01:08:54,844
Thank you.
Thank you.
925
01:08:54,846 --> 01:08:56,613
Thanks, Bruce.
Thank you.
926
01:08:56,615 --> 01:08:59,082
Thanks so much.
Thank you.

Thank you, Bruce.

We love you.
933
01:09:11,331 --> 01:09:12,630
Thanks, Bruce.
934
01:09:12,632 --> 01:09:15,200
And thank you for everything.
935
01:09:15,202 --> 01:09:17,735
Thank you from
the bottom of my heart.
936
01:09:17,737 --> 01:09:19,170
So thank you, Bruce.
937
01:09:19,172 --> 01:09:20,739
Thank you for your music.
938
01:09:20,741 --> 01:09:22,373
Thank you, Bruce.
939
01:09:22,375 --> 01:09:23,508
Thanks, Bruce.
940
01:09:26,747 --> 01:09:28,815
Thank you.
Thank you, Bruce.
941
01:09:28,817 --> 01:09:30,484
Thank you.
Thanks.
942
01:09:30,486 --> 01:09:33,353
Thank you, Bruce. Thank you
for your amazing music.
943
01:09:33,355 --> 01:09:34,855
I just want to say thanks.
944
01:09:34,857 --> 01:09:36,423
Thanks, Bruce.
945
01:09:36,425 --> 01:09:37,657
Thank you, Bruce.
946
01:09:37,659 --> 01:09:39,326
Thank you so much.
947
01:09:39,328 --> 01:09:40,460
Cheers, boss.
948
01:09:40,462 --> 01:09:41,895
Merci,Bruce.
949
01:09:41,897 --> 01:09:45,399
From the deepest part
of my heart, thank you.
