I was there, I couldn't believe this song was finally making it in the setlist, it was a dream come true. Everything was surreal: the bright Roman summer night sky, a night train passing-by in the distance while Bruce sings "hook up to the night train", the Roma Sinfonietta on stage playing the original score, the silent crowd as if there was only one person attending (me), the energy and the commotion of the thousands of us... In short, the type of thrills you get only from a Springsteen concert!

When they bring it down and lift it back up on the "He's singing" part, I get chills every time. I love those backing vocals there, too.

This is the most beautiful song ever recorded. I played it last night off of You Tube Music for my wife and kids for the first time and usually they talk through songs I pick or ask me to hook up their phones to the car audio but they all listened all the way through. Brilliant arrangement and kudos to a couple of the members of the band involved with the original record; David Sancious and Clarence Clemons, all in their early 20's when they arranged this masterpiece.

My 11-years older brother turned me onto Bruce and it’s late August,1980 and I’m playing high school football in Monessen, PA, a steel town in fast economic decline 30 mile south of Pittsburgh. I’m 17 years old, I’m 6’3” and weigh 160 pounds. Our 106 year old house does not have air conditioning. At night orange light from the steel mill fills the walls of my bedroom. Three-a-day football practices are kicking my ass! Every night after mom’s great meal I go to my room, put on side B of my vinyl copy of “The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle” (bought used for $2.50 in Charleroi, the next town down the river) and I fall asleep to side B’s three lengthily classics: “Incident,” “Rosalina,” and, “NYC Serenade.” Damn, what a great childhood I had!

Every time I watch this, I cry. This man so much understands the little movements of everyday life and sacrifice of so many millions of just plain common people. Back in the 1960s, when I was growing up about a dozen miles from Manhattan, the Sunday New York Times magazine ran on its cover the photo of a daisy springing up from a crack in a a let-down concrete walkway. I saved it because hope always springs from the oddest and most destitute of places. I have always loved Springsteen because I think that he understands this, and his understanding comes out in songs such as this one. So thank you,m Bruce, for the joy and for your understanding of just what it is that makes us human beings tick!

Tonight a stroll through the music of Bruce and the Band is just beginning. What a great song to start me off. 🎼 🎶 🎷 🎺 🎹. 🎸🎻🎙🎵

This is the most complex and masterful rock and roll son ever written. It is part classical, part jazz, part soul, part gospel, part folk, part opera that is compounded together to make a West Side Story type rock ballad. I simply do not know if this type of music still can be written, but I certainly wish that it would. I must say that I yearn for the Bruce of old, he really should try to write a throwback record!

@@nkjrm348 Oh, yes, yes, PLEASE, let's bow deeply to the invaluable and criminally underrated contribution of David Sancious' here. And, let's be honest, arrangements like this piano part and on Incident on 57th St qualify (as do Bittan's parts all over the 3rd LP) for co-writing credit that they never got, whatever reason. My humble opinion. And, yeah, as the precursor to Jungleland, Meeting Across the River and Backstreets, these 2 from the 2nd LP, NY City Serenade is inexcusably unnoticed by the world at large. Can you imagine? After this album they were f'n ready to drop him from the label?

When my wife and I fell in love more than 20 years ago we enjoyed this song a lot. The night of this concert we were sitting in our terrace half a mile from Capannelle where this was recorded, waiting for our first baby to be born. Sound came to us clear as if we were there, it was sheer magic. Thanks Bruce.

Hey jazz man, play me your serenade...My secret favorite Bruce's song...a feeling so much shared around, as I see... Simply stunning. I would like to last forever surrounded by these notes. A beautiful starry night in New York 40 years ago traveling through time and space to our days to save us all and remind us of the immense beauty in the heart of every human being...

This video is the most wonderful example of a time and place. A perfect moment when audience and performers became one, in heart and soul, and the esoteric New York City Serenade was brought to life, and will live forever as the prime example of what is possible with music. Every thing about this is amazing - the train theme - while the train runs in the background. The audience in quiet rapt attention, Billy and Diamond Jackie bogaluing down Broadway and coming home with the loot, the strings bringing the song together with the lovely young violinist beaming with joy and anticipation. Bruce at the end with his proud countenance knowing that he fulfilled the request to the best of his abilities, and made magic happen yet one more time as he is want to do. In a thousand years people will still discover this song, dissect it, and try in vain to figure out what it means to listen to your junk man. Well, Bruce is my junk man, and I love to listen to him and all of his epic pieces showcasing the introspection on the American scene circa the late 70's. If this was Springsteen's only song it would be good enough, but he's got hundreds of examples of poetry put to music. If you're just discovering Bruce Springsteen for the first time, I envy you. You have so much goodness to digest over the course of your life. Go for it!

You are starting a great journey ! I haven't finished mine and I have been a fan since 1981 when my elder brother bought "The River". Very few knew Springsteen in France at the time (none of my schoolmates for sure, I was 13). Soon after he bought "Born to Run" and "Darkness". I listened to these albums hundreds of time but I didn't know his first two albums as well ... After that I bought most of his new albums and boxsets and Live DVDs. My younger brother offered me last week for Xmas a fantastic book in French where 332 Springsteen songs are explained and analysed. I discover new great songs everyday but this live performance of "New York Serenade" is sublime you're right and I must admit that I didn"t really know this song until now (I must have heard it only a few times before it the last 40 years). And thank you brothers !

I remember finding this song in 1984 when I was a Sophomore in HS. I used to listen to it and fall asleep I remember because of the crying strings and Clarence’s Sax. Jake is searching for the feel for it and Roy plays it a little different here but the song is so full and the string section really makes it. That string section backs up Michael Bolton, Andrea Bocelli, and some other artists that subcontract them. I think they are happy to be there as they smile when Bruce turns to them, you can tell they know they are part of something special. What a great song.. it's a very emotional song...wow!

Yes, the young violinist at the far right. I used the same term "beaming" when describing her to friends. She has a beautiful smile throughout the performance. In a side close-up at 08:50 and 09:00, you can see that Bruce autographed her sheet music.
