Bruce Springsteen - Growin’ Up (Live, 1972)

Holy shit.

One of the best things I’ve seen on the internet.

An almost 40-year old performance of a 23-year old Bruce Springsteen doing a solo acoustic set while opening for some forgotten about band?  Wow.

Words cannot describe the passion and power Bruce commands, it can only be felt, heard, seen, and experienced.

Plus he is one goddamn handsome motherfucker.

Gives me goosebumps.  Chills.  Makes me tear up.

It’s a treat hearing him talking before the song, and then it begins…

“Well, my feet they finally took root in the earth, but I got me a nice little place in the stars
And I swear I found the key to the universe in the engine of an old parked car.”

Brrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccceee!!!!!
