Bruce Springsteen - Thundercrack Lyrics
Her brains they rattle and her bones they shake
Oh she's an angel from the Innerlake
Her brains they rattle and her bones they shake
Oh she's an angel from the Innerlake
Don't dance with her Henry, don't you dance with her Jake (her brains they rattle and her bones they shake)
She gives me all the loving that a good man can take (her brains they rattle and her bones they shake)
Oh she's an angel from the Innerlake
(Sha-na, na-na, na na, oh oh)
(Sha-na, na-na, na na, oh oh)
(Sha-na, na-na, na na, oh oh)
(Sha-na, na-na, na na, oh oh)
Thundercrack, baby's back
This time she'll tell me how she really feels
Bring me down to her lightning shack
She moves up, she moves back
Out on the floor there just is no one cleaner
She does this thing she calls the "jump back jack"
She's got the heart of a ballerina
Straight from the Bronx, hung off the line
Still she slides, she slops, she bops, she bumps, she grinds
Even them dance hall hacks from the west side of the track move in close to catch her timing
She moves up, she moves back
Out on the floor there just is no one cleaner
She does this thing she calls the "jump back jack"
She's got the heart of a ballerina
Oh, she ain't no little girl, no, she ain't got no curls
Her hair ain't brown and her eyes ain't either
Round and round and round
(Round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round)
(Round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round)
My heart's wood, she's a carpenter
She's an angel in the night, what she does is alright
Dance with me, partner
Dance with me, partner
Dance with me, partner, 'til the dawn
Baby, all night long
(Oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-ohhh oh-oh oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-ohhh oh-oh oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-ohhh oh-oh oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-ohhh oh-oh oh-oh)

Thundercrack, (baby's back)

My heart's wood, she's a carpenter
She's an angel in the night, what she does is alright
Dance with me, partner
Dance with me, partner
Dance with me, partner

Its great but also interesting to see that the band was much much behind the power of the E Street Band some years later.
❤️🌟
Where is Miami Steve???
Steve didn't join the band until 1975
Hola tronko!
Lo compartimos en "Neguri Rock Murcia"
This was the Boss.
Happy Birthday Bruce
is danny federici in this video??
Yes, with the long hair.
That's him on the organ with the long hair and beard.
As good as this version is, the live versions with Davey Sancious on piano from '74 are exponentially better.
Mad Dog!

Sancious should be a word. Can we start using it for how you feel the moment your favorite song comes on?
Linnnnnnnnnnndooooooo de maisssss amoooooooo❤❤❤
I saw him just a few months later at the Harvard Square Theatre in Cambridge, Ma. with Bonnie Raitt...
He had smoked a big fat one here. It's all over his face. He should do it more often, it makes him cool.
my socks are in rockhouse salzburg .........
He had a 16 year old gf at the time?
It was probably a joke ('she didn't come tonight as a personal favor') about the legal age of consent in California, 18 and no close in age exemption. In New Jersey this is 16 and there is a close in age exemption. Perhaps something was said or done which isn't in the recording before he said this. Springsteen was 23 at the time.
@almerian Thanks for that. I didn't catch the "as a personal favor" part when he said it. Guy should have done comedy! 🙂👍🏼🙂.
"Thundercrack" is what my wife calls me when I'm fixing the garbage disposal.
Opening for Chicago?
Wow. just Wow! So cool and so so tight!
Not one of his classics .
The early days. Good performance and shows the band was one of the best live acts even then. Good to see Springsteen was a fine soloist, didn't even know the guy could solo that well.
We were young once...and we are still young...
maravilhoso! beautiful!
Funny I found this today. yesterday day I was driving my cassette only 1994 Astro van blasting some just found best of Springsteen tapes for a 2 hour road trip. at 66 years old the Boss has been a great traveling companion through my life. thank you bruce.
These guys were an 11 right out of the box
sitting here listening to this thinking about the music and concerts to follow and have goose bumps.
I saw Bruce for the first time in 1978 at Olean NY. did not know this video existed. What an amazing talent and band. Thank you Bruce for all the incredible music and concerts through the years
Me too! At St. Bonaventure University
Maravilhoso 🤩
"Nothing worse than playing with your socks down." Can't disagree there.
Springsteen's a guitar player!
Tucson train
He looks like Che Guevara ...
Ich will noch viel mehr davon!!!
Great, now I'm on a Bruce binge again. This triggered it.
Thundercrack ...prelude to Thunderroad? Fun to see..
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Seems like he was trying to be Dylan instead of Bruce! He's come a long way!!
Big man and Phantom Danny, you are missed
Love him and his Music ❤️one of the best!
Making his guitar sing
Really nice to hear the cleaned up audio, it really does this great song justice
Man, they were great, right from the very beginning. Can't imagine life without all the fabulous music they've brought to us since...
Great tune. I don't see David Sancious in the video.I'm curious about the guitar. That is not the famous Tele/Esquire hybrid unless he had a different pick guard then.
It is that guitar, it used to have a leather pick guard with a print on it.
Did you ever play the violin on the guitar Butch? I mean Bruce?
Danny and Clarence right there: Spooky. Mad Dog on drums??
Dom Brunelli Yes. Vini hitting it hard!❤️👍
This is the first Springsteen Butch.
He was killed in 1974.
Replaced by a pompous jerk.
Yes you are yes yes you are.
Wth😂😂😂😂😂
Boss time !
They don't call him The Boss for nothin'.
pure gold.
Danny, Clarence & Bruce. I miss the good old times.
me 2 if I would have lived back then...
Brutal ,sencillamente eres el mejor
Awesome to see Mad Dog Vinnie Lopez on the drums. Is there a full concert footage available? Can only find individual songs from this show.
Good question. Is there more footage available or stored away in some vault. If so, it needs to be released.
It's great to hear Lopez on this.
What's not to like? Really, amazing!
For any real oldtimers, remember "Fire on the Fingertips"?
👍👍🎵🎵🎼🎼🎤🎤
I had a recording of this performance & "Pretty Flamingo" on a 5 record bootleg. It was a compilation from who knows how many bootlegs cuz in the mid/late 70s - early 80s there were a gajillion of them on vinyl. Anyway, this & Pretty Flamingo were the standouts & I'm thrilled not only to have a visual but a top-notch (comparatively) audio version. Finally. After 40 years. Thank you. Now if they could just release the "Pretty Flamingo" I can go out happ(ier.)

@Jakov Marin Vežić Jakov, thank you. That was awesome. As to why I never thought to do a YouTube search - as our great philosopher John Madden once said, "...he got stuck on 'dumb'."
Fire on the Fingertips was the boot. Red vinyl
I love those years
Sensacional
Early Bruce got the juice!
This old Springsteen...all scruffy ...so darling. I’m sorry I just Love his old stuff . Making me WAY too nostalgic for my lost Youth.
We Miss You Clarence Clemmons! RIP!
Amazing to hear the different drum style from Lopez.
It was known early on there was something very special about this young man. The boy I was knew. And that fact carried me into adulthood and throughout maturity.
He was just a "kid" at 24 back then. A musical genius..
I hear the origins of Jungleland here ...
Does it get better than this?!
So adorable. Sending Love to you to the Springsteens. ✴✴✴✴✴ rest in peace, Clarence
Very nice but not sure about his creepy prewoke comment about his 16 yo girlfriend
not creepy at all. Every male knows it.
Bruce at his best - wish my time machine worked.
Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Amazing performance, energy, atmosphere... I enjoyed this so much!
16 year old Girlfriend??? Video from 1973. That makes Springsteen 24.
Fucking Pedophile. No wonder he refers to females as "Little Girls" in many songs.
This is extraordinary. This is full of that exuberance that drives his first two albums in particular. They are just so musical.
Bruce’s guitar tone is way on point too. Great great tone from that Tele that night. Timeless. Kind of reminds me a bit of Robbie Robertson’s best Tele playing- the song comes first, great band that knows how to play together all day long, doesn’t feel
A need to take a long lead on every song but when he does- he sticks it. Bruce was a similar player at his best in the 70s.
46 years later and Bruce still lets it all hang out
Bruce Springsteen embraced Hinduism, Lord Krishna loves him...
Muito bom Bruce ✌️🇧🇷
Historic Song and Good Quality video
Thank you so much Bruce
upload next the song "Does This Bus Stop at 82nd Street?"
How come your so guitard up first time I saw you war
Such a great artist, and still putting them out
Awesome!!!!
Lindo👏👏👏👏👏
The master at work. Such a classic.
Love it when he sings the titular lyric and the crack of the snare immediately follows
Good times.... tremendo Bruce Springsteen.... tremenda banda ☮️
💖💖💖💖💖💖
When Bruce emerged onto the scene in the early 70s the critics went crazy hyping him up. It was his live performances they were basing their excitement on. Here's why.
Wow such a great video of Bruce and the boys very early on! The boss is fun, funky (yes FUNKY!) and oh so young! I love his guitar playing but also check out Gary T’s awesome bass line and Mad Dog’s out of control drums! And Big Man is having a great time! Showing his Van Morrison/James Brown/Guitar god sides here Bruce just had everything! He could take it from 0 to 90 in a single beat - what a showman!
Video? it could even be film 1973 anyway this was a big time video commercial production with multiple cameras someone wanted him on tape
It's like listening to Bruce's heart speaking through his guitar
