I'll never forget Clarence C buying us sailors a drink in a nice chill bar in Maui back in 1985 . I still got the pic . R.I.P. Mr. Bigman . Inspiring .
I first saw Bruce in 1977 at the Cleveland Agora. I was hooked for life, Next year,, 1978 I couldnt get tickets for his concert, but i went to see Southside Johnny at the Agora that same night. After he played the Richfield Coliseum show, Bruce, Clarence and Steve Van Zandt, came down to the Agora and played with Southside until 2am. It was spectacular. Its the most fabulous time i ever had at a concert. God bless them all for all the joy this band has given me throughout my life
Pure. Genuine. Deep. Beautiful. Noble. Crucial. Human. Precious.
Totalmente de acuerdo. Valdría, por su solidez, y bohomia, para político, y su don del habla. Único mi BOSS. Para mí, será en mi corazón 💗 eterno. Long life.
Good looking man, to my taste.
You can clearly see the pain etched on his face when he says he wishes the Phantom and the Big Man are not there. He's so close to breaking down after all those two had been with Bruce over 35 years. Miss you Danny and Clarence.
Yes. You can tell that what he says is from the heart..his heart..
Nah! The boss is drunk 🥴. He don't give a $hit. He has his dumb jersey fans making him millions to be a constipated drunk 🥴
@@jamie.777 Yawn. desperate for attention, are we? Bruce has millions of fans the world over, he's been at the game for fifty years. At least better than raving homophobe, nazi-loving Kanye West.
100 % david
He wishes they are not there? Huh?
I was there that night. I sat to the right of where Bruce was so I watched the monitors. When he talked about his regret in not having the band inducted with him in 1999, you could see the tears in his eyes. Then the camera zoomed in on Steven who just let the tears flow. No matter who you are, you make mistakes and have regrets. Springsteen is as real as it gets. Respect.
U SAID THAT RIGHT . THERE ALL GENUINE
"real bands are made primarily from the neighborhood. From a real time and real place that exists for a little while, then changes and is gone forever." So beautifully stated.
Yep..I can't disagree with the heartfelt depth of his words/feelings..
This guy knows how to tell a story
✌🎼🎼🎸🎸😘
Knows how to tell a story and enjoys telling a story. He writes those story songs like Dylan and Cohen! But it seems like he enjoys it much more.
Listen to his book. It's great!
His songs are some of the greatest stories I’ve ever heard
Ya think? 😂
For a man who sufers from deep depression Bruce is a very clear eloquent speeker.
Bruce, that was the greatest, most thorough and heartfelt induction I've ever heard. Period. You were born to speak, as well.
A true poet! Then, on the opposite end of the spectrum, of course, there is Ted Nugent's Magnum Opus 'Zee Wango, Zee Tango!', Trump's favorite!
No he was born to run
He is so well-spoken. ❤
Little Steven has always had the cutest smile and cheeks in rock n roll history!
Bruce is a National Treasure. He talks like he writes. Legend.
I can't imagine him being any other way he's truly a dead and dying breed of man/artist/humanity
@@kimberlyjohnson1371 the last of his kind in these crazy times! long live THE BOSS!
@@theloniouscoltrane3778 ..Yes! So true and very well put...TY...ps.. maybe we're a dying breed in a sense as well..those of us who truly see and appreciate these few and far between artist/poets..
@@kimberlyjohnson1371 are you also from the US?
@@theloniouscoltrane3778 yes.. I live in the Southern part of the country..
The only reason I wanted to play Tenor Sax was Clarence Clemons. The only reason my parents bought me that tenor sax back in the day was Clarence Clemons. Be WELL ALL! :)
The E Street Band = The Greatest Live Band in the World
I love the emotion and pride at 2:18 that Garry Tallent shows when Bruce acknowledges his contribution for 40 years - a beautiful moment
Quite possibly the greatest rock 'n roll band of all time! Seen them twice and the talent, the tightness, the musical mastery of the E Street Band is a sight to behold! Since Day 1, their live shows are epic. Legendary. Heart-pounding. Nerve-wracking. And totally unforgettable!
Love the E street band but we cant forget about the Silver Bullet Band !
@@billydeaton3560They were great, but name one single band member? The ESB has like 20 famous members past and current. Besides Bob Seger no one can name a single Silver Bullet member
THEY TRULY LOVE EACH OTHER. PLUS THE GUYS BEHIND THE SCENES ❤
What an incredible speech covering all his people. Such love for his team and clearly why he is so beloved by the E Street Band, his family, and his fans all over the world for decades and generations throughout his career. A true legend of the game as is every single member of the legendary and timeless E Street Band.
Danny and Clarence WERE there that night. They wouldn't have missed it. This is the Church of E Street. Enter, and be HEALED.
False. Both are dead.
“If we’re here...and you’re here...then they’re here.”
What the hell are you on about lady?
You can see his eyes welling up as he's mentioned in Clarence and Danny
Such an intelligent, thoughtful, deep, well spoken man. Always been a fan.
The "Ladies and gentlemen, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band!" that opens the live version of 'Thunder Road' from 1975 is so deeply etched in my brain, when I see Bruce I see them all.
My favorite version of that song.
Indeed. That was the first song I ever heard live from Bruce & the Boys. Played literally as soon as I got home from buying it on vinyl on the day of release. What a power drive that track is.
@@soupdragonukciao amico! 😊🤗😍😘💘❤️💯💋🌅
I love how this is not written down, its recall and hearfelt memories of a timeline of his life.
he read it from the TV monitors !
We grew up, like Bruce, in Freehold, NJ. My older sisters, somehow, were onto Bruce early on. My favorite album is his first. My sisters played it over and over. As a local guy close to where Bruce lives, he's a class act. He's given a lot to local causes. Loved them since their first album. Well done.
I 2 AM FROM THE JERSEY SHORE. MET HIM 1 X AT THE WONDERBAR A MUTUAL FRIEND OF OURS PASSED . I TOLD HIM HIS MUSIC GOT HER THROUGH HER LAST YRS. HE REMEMBERED HER. GAVE ME A BIG HUG AN SELFIE. HES SO DOWN 2 EARTH. ❤
Saw Bruce and the E Street Band (with Vinnie and David) for the first time at the Main Point, outside of Philly, in early '73. I think Greetings had just come out. Sitting in the front row with my sister enjoying the music, and like everyone else there, had no idea of what this band was to become. 48 years ago, but seems like yesterday.
Bruce is just the best songwriter/speaker of all time!! I love them so much and can’t wait for their tour next year. Two tickets have arrived! 🌹🌺🌹🌺
Seen them in 1980 and 2009 and finally fulfilling a 40 year wish and flying to see them in NY in April!
The narrative you tell together is bigger than the story you tell on your own , The Rolling Stones
I love Bruce, I love the E-Street-Band, I love all the Guys being the Genesis of this Legend !!
Bruce is the king of storytelling. His music and this introduction.
Best speech ever at the hall of fame!!! Bruuuuuuuuuuce
Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band will live forever. Rock on Bruce ...
I love how he can tell a story, amazing. I can see how happy he was to talk about Danny and Clarence, as painful as it is for him but always enjoyable memories to share of them two. RIP Danny and Clarence
This was a wonderful induction speech and surpassed all others but lets face it , it is Bruce Springsteen, hats off to the boss!!
Love this man and his band they will survive the test of time with there great energy a true Rock & Roll Band
Best induction speech ever!!!
Thank you garyherbert you are awesome
Greatest bar band ever created!!!!
What a brilliant speech!! Wow just wow!!
Never to old to learn. God bless this story
What a humble, honest, thankful, thoughtful and love giving man! Absolutely captivating and inspiring, someone who truly loves others and is grateful for his success, but knowing full well it was the talents, dedication and commitment of others who got him there.
❤❤
I've spent countless hours listening to all the music. Spent many a nights at sea in the Navy staring out at the horizons with Springsteen and the E Street band blaring through my headphones. Thank you.
Thats BADASS!!!
Who doesn't love Stevie you got to love Stevie
There are lots of bands. For me - when I want to get lost late at night - It's either Pink Floyd - or - Bruce Springsteen and E Street. Listening to Jungleland - Incident on 57th Street - NYC Serenade - Independence Day - The River - Racing in the Streets - Thunder Road - Prove it All Night - and Promised Land - all in a row in that order - will quell any depression that besets old men like me - late at night.
In my mind, he is a true spokesman of the human condition. Both his music and speech ring out true and clear.
the E Street Band and Bruce in full roar are the most glorious sound you will ever hear
I've seen the lads and lassie 6 times live,always better than the last time. I only discovered bruce when l opened a cupboard and found a cassette tape of the river. That was 1980 and l've been hooked since. Truly a religious experience when you see them live. Live forever guys...please
wow that's a lovely speech bruce . well done
Stevie Z, you are my favorite "E Streeter"... keep on rockin', man!! Yeah!
What a great speech! You can see honest regret on his face for what I believe he considers a mistake of not inducing the E Street Band into the Hall when he was inducted. Clarence and Danny missed out and Bruce is obviously pained by it.
Damn you Bruce - brought tears to my eyes again...

I LOVE THIS BAND!!!
I loved this... I hadn't seen it before.. but I loved watching this... when I thought he couldn't get any better ...I watched this.
Hey this man can talk. He should put some words to music or something and see what happens!!
LOL :)
He should definitely go on the stage...
richardforgetcanada ye i think he could be a star with a little luck
Yeah, he might get somewhere in the music business...
I'M FROM LIVERPOOL with Irish blood, Bruce has Irish blood in him I believe,= storyteller!😁
What a beautifull speech! Filled with beautifull truths & emotions!
What an honest and generous man
One of the greatest songwriters & showmans of all time. And a great guy too. Met him once about 6 years ago while he was promoting his book.
I saw Bruce Springsteen with the legendary E Street Band (with Danny F. & Charlie G. (Danny’s replacement) & Clarence Clemons when they were supporting “Magic” which is one of my favorite albums by Bruce Springsteen!!
Beautiful. I will always love this band
The Boss!
The Boss gave us the perfect screenplay for him & the band. Hope I live to see it produced !
When u just find out that Steven van zandts wife is actually his wife in the sopranos after all these years 😂😂
Being the man I always looked up to from the early 70s sitting in my car listening to the Wild the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle drinking a warm beer with the girls and the guy's weekends weeknights for years album after album show after show... thanks for the E Street Band and its many incarnations thank you Bruce for being the part that kept it going and thanks for leaving out the politics...
Leaving out the politics? What are you joking? A lot of his work is political as all hell man.
Thank You Bruce And The E Street Band. Thank You for your beautifull words And love
Saw them on ( The Wild, The Innocent and the E Street Shuffle ) tour in DC at Constitution Hall. I wore out my ( Greetings From Asbury Park New Jersey ) album 💗 by the time the first E Street album and tour came along. The energy, the songs and musicianship was beyond description. He was young, wild and all over that stage, jumping off things, rolling and tumbling and giving it everything he had with every moment of every song❣😃 It was like a real living rock musical theater show. Never saw anything quite like it before or after.
Beautiful... All of us on the other side of stage who also became "E Street Band" on a very early age all feel the same thrill... Amazing words indeed
Reading born to run, Bruce! ❤️ you! Yours, jerZ girl ☘️
Bruce Springsteen I really appreciate your music. I was able 😊 to get to see you in Denver Colorado in 1990
Bruges songs have been with me during the best of times & the not so good times Best concerts ever!! Saw them with Clarence & after with the new band Bruce & his bands give it their all!!! Nobody plays a longer concert or more energy!
Es un placer escuchar al Boss contar la extraordinaria historia de la E Street Band. Es un gran narrador. Su autobiografía es apasionante y de una gran honestidad. Legendario Springsteen y su E Street Band. En España les amamos, como bien saben ellos.
Así es, amamos al Boss, hace unos días estuve con mi pareja y una amiga, en concierto en Barcelona y disfrutamos mucho, una maravilla, este año solo dos conciertos en la misma ciudad.
Posto meritatissimo nell'olimpo dei più grandi interpreti di tutti i tempi. Immortali e immensi.
He is so BADASS Love the E STREET BAND
Bruce is trying to contact you. Hahah😂
I’ve been a super fan of Bruce’s since around 1975-76, I was mesmerized by “Born to Run”, my five year old self couldn’t get all the lyrics down, but I would stand in front of my mothers stereo and dance my little heart out, and singing “Tramps like us....”. And as I have grown my love for him and the E Street Band has simply grown deeper and stronger than ever. I have so many memories throughout my life and Bruce and the boys have always been a huge part of me. Bruce along with Stevie Nicks have been right there with me through my journey, and I couldn’t be more grateful! Thank you so much Bruce! 👏🏻 🙏🏻🖤❤️🤍💚💙💛🧡💜🤎💖
I fell in love with him and his music, when I discovered "Darkness at the edge of town"!! Simply fenomenal! And from that time on, always the Boss!!
@@adrijanacah1280 Right on!!
How beautiful. I cried.
Agreed ❤me2 Tears of joy. He spoke so proudly. It was hard not to. 👏. Uk
Thank you deidreweaver you are awesome
Pure heart and more heart. Puro corazón y más corazón.
I'm not crying. I'm cutting onions.
Love and understanding ❤brings us further❤ thanks Bruce!!!
Hello , as always the Boss is amazing, and dispite her Fame , he remained a humble person.. thank you for the Music … kisses from France 🇫🇷 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Bruce Spoke Excellent with His Heart and by the way an incredible Narrator's Speech
Die Liebe zu seiner Band, die Liebe zu seiner Musik, die Liebe zu seinen Fans spricht aus diesem wunderbaren Musiker und Menschen. Er ist echt, ehrlich und authentisch. Das spürt man auch seiner Musik. Und er hat eine wunderbare Frau die ihm diese Stärke gibt. Bruce, wir lieben Dich. ❤❤❤🇨🇭
Amo Bruce Springsteen demais é meu cantor preferido, canta muito!👏👏👏👏💚 Brasil 2020🇧🇷
NO words can even begin to describe BRUCE & The E STEET PHENOM. ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!
E Street No other like it
What a speech!
It's awesome how, even though they were squabbling, Bruce considered not accepting his Rock and roll hall of fame induction, if the E Street Band wasn't inducted with him. What a great boss!
I don't think your interpretation is correct but maybe I'm wrong. The reason they band wasn't included in the first place is one becomes eligible after 25 years. But because the band didn't get album billing til 1986, Bruce was eligible but the band wasn't. I don't remember hearing that he considered backing out, but maybe I'm wrong. My interpretation it was more whether he would include the band or not. Stevie lobbied for the to be included, and Bruce ultimately didn't agree. In this speech, he explains and apologizes.
love ya Bruce. Many many memories
This was incredible story how everyone came together and how Bruce met them that is great
agree, when bruce was inducted into the hall of fame, in 1999, they should ALL have been inducted, the greatest "Bar band" in the World, even in Stadium's with 50,000
they couldn't have been the e street band didn't have a record contract for 25 years at that point a requirement every other band had to abide by
Bruce Springsteen the E Street Band🌹🌹❤❤🌹🌹❤❤🌹🌹❤❤🌹🌹❤❤
He looks younger than when he was inducted..HOT!✌
Mr. Grass Roots. Mr. Man of the People. Mr.Sincere. Had to be begged and cajoled and endlessly persuaded to agree to his own band being inducted. Gee, what a working stiff, what a blue collar hero.
Love it. He's the boss
I have been a Bruce fan for many years and what I have learned from him is that when you become an artist, dont pick an artist name that starts with a B and has a U in the middle of it, because when people shout your name at a concert or somewhere else, it sounds like they are booing you.
Clarence Clemons RIP Big Man thanks bro
That's is an enjoyable speech and meaningful.
The Boss 🎸🎤 Love 💘 Love you 🇧🇷
Stevie was right on this one. Bruce should have petitioned the Hall of Fame to induct The E Street Band with him in 1999. Clarence and Danny would have been alive to see it. Bruce clearly regretted the way that he had treated the boys in the 1990s. That is why he changed the words of the last verse of "Blood Brothers" during the Reunion Tour. Although Bruce writes and composes all of his own music, the boys have significant creative input. That is evidenced by Bruce's work during their fallow period. The 1990s were his most uninspiring as a musician. There was even an unrealesed album in 1994. Landau informed Bruce that if Springsteen had released that album (coming so soon after the critical and commercial failures of "Human Touch" and "Lucky Town") that he would have been "finished" as a recording artist . He works much better within the confines of the band ("Nebraska" and "Tunnel of Love" being the notable exceptions).
Was the likes of Racing in the Street and Point Blank with the band? I know little of the history but something tells me yes
@@CliffTooth Yes, they both were. Released in 1978 and 1980 respectively.
Life is filled with smiles and tears. We hope there is more of the first. Regrets should be about what we didn’t do. Sadly, he can’t take it back. He did his best to make amends
@@michaelbrickley2443 He did. He did.
I agree with you that Bruce regretted his decision not to advocate for the band to be included along with him. He clearly had enough power to do that. The high emotion was regret that Danny and Clarence were not there when the band was finally inducted. The best rock 'n roll band in the world and Bruce is at his best with his brothers beside him!
Un geniu al muzicii!! Mulțumim pentru tot ce faceți.
multumesc rodicagreta
Toată admirația și respect Bruce Springsteen!!
Amazing words
I think, when he was writing this speech, it was as if he was writing the lyrics to his next great song
Love these guys…. Have given me so much.
