"Born to Run," Bruce Springsteen
Thought I'd forgotten, didn't you?
How could I forget the fiftieth anniversary of the release of Bruce Springsteen's third album, Born to Run, with its groundbreaking production and its anthemic title song, which is the subject of my Music Video Of the Week this week?
Springsteen, of course, wrote "Born to Run" as a song about escaping one's little world to find a place where one wants to be, no matter how long it takes to get there. The song immediately became part of rock-radio canon when it was first released, and Springsteen has included "Born to Run" on most if not all of his live set lists.
This clip was filmed at Springsteen's concert with the E Street Band at the London Hammersmith Odeon in 1975, when the song was first new. Enjoy.
