1:22...LOVE when he goes to start the Sha na Ohs and the crowd is already so loud he is taken back...remember being there this night and how much this song brought the house down...Vivino plays a hell of guitar in one of the best duals I've seen Bruce in (20+shows)...always loved the Xmas shows, they were special

user
Bruce's guitar needs to be louder!!!

this was a holiday show in 03, he did this show with the max weinberg 7 and other memebers of e street

user
Only the greatest song ever and this is actually a good version of it.... i saw him do this live accoustically a long time ago

The was a sexploitation film in the early 70s called THUNDERCRACK. RAMROD was another cheapie film that gave Bruce a title. Of course THUNDER ROAD was a film title, but that was a step above Thundercrack and Ramrod, in that it was a "B" movie.

Thanks! DO you have any factual information on whose deep, bass voice says "Baby's Back" in this performance (at about 6:53)? I posted a question about that six+ months ago and no one seems to know. I doubt it is Clarence since Bruce's backup for this performance was the MMW7. Any ideas?

user
Oops, meant to say "Ramrodder" (1969).

Lyrics:
Well, her brains they rattle and her bones they shake,
Oh! she's a angel from the inner lake
Her brains they rattle and her bones they shake,
Oh! she's a angel from the inner lake
Band: bruce:
Her brains they rattle and don't dance with her elway
Her bones they shake, don't dance with jake
All:
Oh! she's a angel from the inner lake
Her brains they rattle and she give me all the lovin'
Her bones they shake, that a good man can take
Oh! she's a angel from the inner lake
Sha na na na na-ah o-oh
Sha na na na na-ah o-oh
Sha na na na na-ah o-oh
Sha na na na na-ah o-oh
Thundercrack!
Baby's back
This time she'll tell me how she really feels
And bring me down to her lightning shack
You can watch my partner reeling
She moves up! she moves back!
Out on the floor there ain't nobody cleaner
She does this thing she calls the "jump back jack"
She's got the heart of a ballerina
Straight from the bronx, hung on the line.
She slips she slides she slops she bops, she bumps, she grinds
Even them dance hall hacks from the west side of the tracks
Move in close to catch her timing
She moves up! she moves back!
Out on the floor there ain't nobody cleaner
She does this thing she calls the "jump back jack"
She's got the heart of a ballerina
She ain't no little girl, she ain't got no curls
And in her brown little eyes an image
Round and round and round and round and round...
She whirls
My heart's wood, she's a carpenter
She's an angel in the night what she does is all right.
Dance with me partner
Dance with me partner
Dance with me partner
Dance with me partner
'til the dawn!
Oh 'til the dawn
Thundercrack!
Baby's back
This time she'll tell me how she really feels
And bring me down to her lightning shack
You can watch my partner reeling
She moves up! she moves back!
Out on the floor there ain't nobody cleaner
She does this thing she calls the "jump back jack"
She's got the heart of a ballerina
She has parents! she has religion! she has sisters!
Round and round and round and round and round...
She whirls
My heart's wood, she's a carpenter
She's an angel in the night what she does is all right.
Dance with me partner
Dance with me partner
Dance with me partner
Dance with me partner
All night (repeat)
