the Boss gives delivers a live version of what I consider the best track from Born In the U.S.A. Some things to look out for...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJQgwqojirs
0:36 - Bruce replaces the studio version’s synth intro with a heartfelt monologue about his father.
1:49 - Bruce takes on an intimidating power stance.
1:59 - The most sexually charged, anticlimactic stage move I’ve ever loved.
2:00 - I’m On Fire actually begins.
3:01 - The stage lighting that emulates the figurative “fire” that Bruce is “on.”
3:30 - Still not sure if he says “soul” or “skull,” either way that is pretty fucking intense.
4:13 - Woodblock makes an appearance .
4:25 - We hear/understand why the woodblock had to be added.
4:53 - Bruce transcends sexual orientation and the entire audience is inevitably aroused.
4:54 - 5:40 - The Boss gives us a lesson in tasteful restraint.
