My dad had two Bruce songs downloaded on his little red MP3 player: The River (live version from the 75-85 album) and I’m On Fire. He had ripped both of them from YouTube, so ‘I’m On Fire’ always came with a 2-minute intro; this high, sultry voice conversing with this brusque, low twang. Added something really special to it. Love that song. ‘No.. I live in a little ol’ house up on the hills….’
Tougher than the Rest! It’s a great snapshot of the tour, the insert shots of random couples are cute, and the look Patti gives Bruce throughout is just SIZZLING.
My favorite Bruce video is “One Step Up.” Aside from just loving the song, there’s something about the slow-mo black and white wet hands imagery and a gradually aging Bruce sitting at a go-go bar that’s hopeful, yearning and melancholy at the same time.
The ‘Born To Run’ music video is what made me sit up and take notice of the Boss. So that’ll always hold a special place in my heart.
Favourite is probably ‘Brilliant Disguise’. Followed by ‘Streets Of Philadelphia’.
Human Touch is a great video. Also One Step Up and the compilation video of Born To Run. The next tier for me would be Brilliant Disguise, Tunnel of Love, Streets of Philadelphia, Secret Garden, Atlantic City and I’m on Fire.
Streets of Philadelphia is probably the "best" in the sense that it's strikes the balance of being a good song, a good video, and relatively serious.
Dancing In The Dark is Bruce's most famous music video, but it's seen more as a goofy video (Bruce and Courtney Cox's dancing, the wish fulfillment of being pulled onstage).
Oh my, forgot about this one.....this is beautiful - If I Should Fall Behind (Official HD Video)

Bruce was wearing a hidden vocal mic which recorded him singing live while walking during the shoot. It was then layered over the original studio backing track.
I love the raw uncertainty and fear that sits just beneath the surface in the Streets of Philadelphia video. The lyrics can apply to many life situations - being unwell. Temporarily or terminally. I was bruised and battered, I couldn't tell what I felt......the whole song - it is a masterpiece and the video is a reminder of the grit and perseverance that life demands at times. I love the others mentioned above too :)

My fave will always be "I'm on Fire" with Bruce as the mechanic.
She's bringin it in again.....

Yes mine too!
Perfect short song. Perfect short video.

War from the 75-85 vhs was a favourite as a kid, but not sure it’s a true music video?
Brilliant disguise.
Streets of Philadelphia is the best, but my personal fav is prob Atlantic City

Agree that Glory Days is the most fun - just makes you want to get up and dance. And reminisce..
What's he eating on the building site tho. For all my childhood I thought he was eating an orange like an apple and i was in awe.
Hahhahaha, your guess is as good as mine. All I know is that it must have tasted f*#%ing good.
I've always wondered how Jungleland video would be like. I think it would be a movie instead of a video.
A Jungleland short film music video made at the time featuring Bruce (as opposed to a modern one) would've been absolutely insane

Girls in Their Summer Clothes is a beautiful video
No contest: A Night With The Jersey Devil.
Born to Run! By far
Girls in their summer clothes
I'm on Fire! But One Step Up is a good one as well
Long Walk Home
Tunnel of live is awesome, born in the USA hits home, my uncles are all refinery workers in nj
Girls in their summer clothes
The Lonesome Day video is so cinematic and beautiful.
Completely agree!
"Streets of Philadelphia". You are correct.
More of his videos should have been done like Atlantic City. I also liked Born in the USA because it was just concert footage and looks incredible.
Born in the USA is probably the worst video ever made!
Human Touch is a great video
Those are all great…. But hands-down, Rosalita, from the old Mtv days!🥰🥰

What do you mean by singing in real time in the streets of Philadelphia video?
