Growing up in New Jersey, Bruce Springsteen has always been a hometown hero to me. And Thunder Road is my favorite Springsteen song, ranking right up there with Born to Run.

This video starts back in 1975, at the Hammersmith Odeon in London and moves, cut by (almost seamless) cut, to the present day. That final shot, with Bruce giving a goodby kiss to the big man, Clarence Clemens, brought a tear to my eye.

Big hat tip to Dave Pell and Next Draft. This one is very special to me.
