A lot of people have enjoyed Boss’ live performances, but only a few came close to describing just how truly great it feels to hear him live.
It’s not a secret that Bruce Springsteen has always given everything he’s got on stage, and his fans enjoyed hours of the incredible musical revue.
We found a video that shows how Bruce was just as cherished in Europe as he was in the United States.
This 1985 show is an amazing example of Bruce’s popularity.
The concert was held in Parc de la Courneuve in Paris, France. The whole world enjoyed his songs and his French audience was no exception. You know you’re doing it well when people across the globe sing a song that’s in a way your patriotic anthem.
Of course, we’re talking about “Born in the U.S.A.”, the 1984 hit song from the album with the same title.
Here we see Springsteen with his E Street Band, ready to deliver an electrifying performance that has the crowd screaming in excitement. This performance is an amazing example of how music can unite people anywhere, from any culture.
Everyone in the crowd is jumping, singing, and screaming—you realize that it’s not about being born in any place, but about being born to be happy and to enjoy life.
Before he begins the performance, Bruce greets the crowd with an apt “bonjour,” which made the audience go wild!
It’s a simple gesture and a basic sign of respect, but it clearly means a lot to the audience! Born in the U.S.A. was released in 1984 and it’s Bruce’s seventh studio album, the one that became his most commercially successful album and one of the highest-selling records ever. It produced seven top 10 hit singles and was promoted with a worldwide concert tour.
The song itself is much more complex than the title gives out at first, and it addresses the harmful effects of the Vietnam War and the treatment of Vietnam veterans upon their return home.
This incredible man unites people from all around the world, and it’s clear why from moving performances like this one.
You can hear the passion in his voice—the band is on point, everyone is feeling the energy and the crowd can’t get enough!
It’s one of those moments in music history that will give you goosebumps.
Although there were some rumors of a 2020 tour, the official website doesn’t list any upcoming shows.
Let’s keep our fingers crossed that the current situation with the pandemic will resolve soon so that we can enjoy concerts like this one all over again! Since this clip was uploaded, it has earned more than five million YouTube views.
If anyone ever wondered why Springsteen got the nickname “The Boss,” this video should serve as ample explanation!
No matter how you feel about Bruce’s music, it’s clear that he’s a world-class talent.
Even if none of us have been to a concert in quite some time, videos like this remind us of the power of music in bringing people together and easing pain during hard times. As soon as the pandemic is over, we’re hoping that these kinds of events can pick up again—but until then, we’ll keep watching videos like this one on loop.
