Woody Guthrie would be proud and smiling to hear his song sung by such a powerful and sincere voice and to such a wide audience.

Guthrie would be straight proud of Bruce's version!!! A true icon!! Love you brother!!

This song goes deep under the skin, no matter where you from.

America needs this great song now more than ever.

We were there in the third row. This song is more significant today than ever before.

Bruce Springsteen's passion about this song is clearer than glass

This should be our national anthem.

I've heard almost all the versions of different singers, but Bruce's has no comparison,nobody transmits as much feeling as he does. Greetings from Perú.

As a first generation American this song is very emotional to me. My grandfather brought his family(including my father) to this country with almost no money in hopes of a better life and education. Now I am in college and have high ambitions. The American dream is surely still alive.

I'm a young man who had a child hood in Scotland. It was a booming industrial city until the recession hit my family really hard, it left almost everyone unemployed... But we didn't give up we stood together and fought on.. I'm 31 years old now and I'm still fighting for our jobs, one day it may it may happen just don't give up the fight ✊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

There was a big high wall there, that tried to stop me. It was painted, said "private property". But on the back side, it didn't say anything. This land was made for you and me.

Wow. That should be our National anthem. Thank you both for this gift, Woodie and Bruce.

I may not be from the country, but this song is moving.

Just two days ago, I pulled back to my home in Toronto after driving 10,000 kilometres to British Columbia, across Canada/United States. This trans-continental road trip was one I had always dreamed of and Woody Guthrie, and all the versions of his iconic song, were just paving the way for so many travels, and impressions, and memories. It was an epic journey for which I will am eternally grateful. "This land is your land, this land is my land." No words ring truer. Thank you, Woody, and all who have followed in your footsteps to sing these words.

Bruce Springsteen! What a man you are!! Thank you for your masterful rendition of this masterpiece!!!

Wow! I'm speechless. What a powerful message. World....are you listening???

Lovely tribute to a truly wonderful human being, from a talented and caring guy. I'm from the 51st state and will never forget Bruce's goodwill gesture to the striking miners in the 80's. Thatcher's govt. even condemned him in parliament

Rock on Bruce!!! I'm a disabled veteran who still believes in those words!!! I could not have said those words any better than you sung them!!! Thank You!!!

Bruce absolutely does this song with his whole heart and soul...I love it!

One of the top 5 singer's of all times. Love this song

thumbs up to bruce for performing that gorgeous verse of the relief office.

There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me. The sign was painted, said 'Private Property.' But on the backside, it didn't say nothing. This land was made for you and me."

for me he is not only "The Boss" - he is a Folk-Country-Pop-Giant!

Wow after hearing many versions of this song I thought no one can best Woody's version, don't get me wrong he'll always be the original writer of this song but I have to say just wow, this is by far the best version of this song, Bruce has really outdone himself, well done Bruce and thank you for bringing this beautiful song to all of us. Best wishes to all American people, from Israel ;).

I have never heard a better version of this song. Bruce does it so beautiful as only Bruce could do.

you can see that Bruce feels these words in his heart, not to mention that he, along with Bob Dylan, etc. are huge Woody Guthrie fans

I came here after January 6, 2021. 😢

I graduated college in '85. I''m in tears with PRIDE listening here to BRUCE!

I love this song .... doesn't matter who sings it... it's always good

I live in Spain. And everytime I listen to this song makes me cry. I wanna live there: From California, To the New York island, From the Redwood Forest ,To the Gulf Stream waters

Chills when I hear this, great song and so relevant into today's social and political climate

"With countries, just like with people, it's easy to let the best of yourself slip away." Those words ring more true now than ever.

Beautiful. This is not just an American song--it's really a song anyone who loves their own country and cares about their own people should love

❤️Beautiful song! Fantastic performance! Very beautiful voice! Thank you for sharing!❤️

"This Machine Kills Fascists"

People need to understand Springsteen. The vast majority of his work is fast songs and he performs to this day with 20 gallons of gas in his tank but the message has been the same from day 1: "This country is broken and broken still, real working people doing their best have real hard times and it's about time everyone in this nation recognized out national reality and did something about it" Seriously. His message has always been the same. And it's the truth. Our politicians can't fix us they are corrupt as fuck don't pardon my french. What does a working man do when his house is broken? He fixes it, finds a way. Well our collective house is America boys and girls. About time the down and out got tired of all the money and clout, and started thinking about how to fix the situation without doubt. The big boss doesn't fix the problem, the common joe does. Trust in your self. Trump and Hillary are not messiahs, do not wait to be saved by false prophets. You are responsible for YOU and YOUR loved ones. Roll up your sleeves women and men, there's good work that must be done. Let's get to fixing.

You Americans should really be proud of such masterpiece like this one, i really wish that we had something similiar like this in my country. Do me a favor, don't listen to those people who says anything bad, they're just jealous.

Quiet patriotism retold with a thundering voice.. Thank you, Woody and thank you, Bruce

Well bruce is so good with every song even with songs that is not his he makes it feels like its relatable for everyone and telling a story trough is music is his passion and i admire him for who he is and his love for making music and altough i never went to a concert of him every time i see a clip when he is performing it feels like i am there Bruce thank you for for your beautiful music❤️

a great version of a great song. almost had me in tears thinking about how far we have fallen from this ideal. it also occurred to me that most of the people in the audience had probably never heard the full song. All Woody was trying to say is that everyone deserves to share in America's riches, be they monetary or natural. Nothing wrong with that idea. In fact, that is part of the philosophy behind the idea of the original settlers of this country

Bruce Springsteen did say that this song was written by Woody Guthrie, it is right in the beginning of this video. I also have this song from his 75-85 collection and it is the same version and he does mention that Guthrie wrote it. Springsteen says Guthrie wrote it as an answer to Irving Berlin's God Bless America and "This Land is Your Land" is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

I just sobbed through the song. Praying for better leaders around the world, for love and brighter days ahead for all people.

I heard this on a "bootleg" record of Woody's in 1968 with this verse, "As I went walkin' that ribbon of highway I saw a sign sayin' 'PRIVATE PROPERTY' But on the other side it didn't say nu-u-thin This land was made for you and me."

Who’s still listening in 2020, cuz god bless we need this to be played everywhere to remind people how great this country is. God bless everyone and god bless America in these hard times.

Ok since its been awhile since someone left a message about how damn good springsteen's version is of this song, let me make sure to leave one. Great version Bruce, remember first time i heard in on live album 75-85 was like damn...

This song makes me emotional. I hear it and I get teary eyed.

I'm not American but this song is so epic. Take back what is yours.

Covered by many but never so simply, never so beautifully. Thanks Mr. Springsteen.

It's a timeless classic that transcends generations & only The Boss could do it honorably with such grace ✨️🎤🎼🙏❤️

We need songs and conviction like this more than ever. Teach the young people who are protesting the Trump election. There is hope is darkness. Stay focused. Stay strong.

A great song Woodie and a Great job,we love you Bruce and thanks for puting it on ObersKrautwaschl. Yes to America and yes we are waking up. Woodies spirit lives in the core of the people. the people who hate this song are more aware of its meaning than even the patriots. I believe those who dislike or hate this song may hear more of it in the future. I believe big media has put some in a dream world but they are waking up.we need an honest hard working congress and no politics. We the People

The best version of this song I think, God bless you, Bruce Springsteen.

I was listening to this, as I love the song and I love Springsteen, and KZfaq threw it up as the next video after I watched one a friend had sent me. Then I scrolled down and I realized I was at the show where it was recorded. Lately it occurs to me, what a long, strange trip its been.

ordinarily, I am no a springsteen fan but this song tells it like it is and was all those years ago,,,our country as said by Dr. Ben Carson,,is in critical condition! Bruce is so very sincere here! love the truth!

How can some people dislike this song . It's the greatest song I know Greetings from Sweden ;)

This should be playing ever where,we are all Americans people 🙏🇺🇸💪

Thank you Dan.

It don't get any more American than this right hear :) We gotta have more ppl come thru like Bruce .. In this time we need it again..

Thank you Bruce and woody. This land was made for you and me.

Gran cancion, grande BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN increíble como transmite sentimientos y mensajes tan importantes y profundos. God save BRUCE

Who are the creatures that would give this a thumbs down --?

There is a reason people came to hear this song today. America, do not bow to tyranny or give up what is best in you. God save our great nation.

It's a damn shame this only has 14k thumbs up. It's a damn shame. It will be a sad, sad day when the Boss kicks the bucket.

Merci, merci, je n'arrive pas à dormir avec ce qui se passe et s'est passé chez moi mais merci de tout cœur pour ce titre. Manue

On this day in 1940 {February 23rd} Woody Guthrie, while in his room at the Hanover House Hotel in New York City, wrote the lyrics to "This Land This Your Land"... In 1962 two covered versions of the song entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart, and both debut on the chart on the same day {November 25th}, the New Christy Minstrels' version at #93 and Ketty Lester at #97, and both versions also remained on the chart for one week... The song is a favorite of Bruce Springsteen; between 1980 and 2013 he has performed the song in 107 different concerts...

...I played this song on harmonica for my Dad, right before we buried him. This song has been playing in my heart all the days of my life... Thank you for giving me Bruce, Daddy. Hug Mommy for us.

my sons dad dedicated this song to me a few years ago. i cant stop crying. rest in peace trevor 😫💔😭

This is a song I love I had many hurts in past. This song will is memories so many Jobs taken away. So many valleys and farms that that you don't see tractors much and harvest and barns. All been taken by building houses making room for faster train tracks seeing our lands and fields disapearing. You know back in 1987 I met a girl and I never forgot her in 1993 we sadly broke up not knowing that we would see each other again. The year 2019 after 32 years we got back together again. Here we are living together. The girl I met lived by fields and lands the views were fantastic reason why she moved away is because she met me. This land was made for you and me.

This song is about the Great Depression ya'll it was written in protest to Irving Berlin's optimistic and patriotic view of America that he wrote about in "God Bless America." Guthrie wrote this because he was mad about what was happening in the country, people were losing everything, especially their jobs and money

Bruce is a hell of a singer I just love him.

I saw this 35 years ago, it changed my life, let it change yours.

This is what I feel right now and how we are now. One day we won’t be here so we can’t we get along and live together? God bless everyone.

Thank you for posting this. I wanted my son to hear the REAL version of the song, and to understand EXACTLY what it is about. He asked me why the verse about the relief office gets left out in school. I replied "Because it's not "nice".

BEAUTIFUL!! Thnx for sharing! It was shared with me, by a friend...I am thankful! I will share it with everyone I know! God Bless you and yours! ALWAYS! Jen

❤ good morning USA from Canada ❤

Thanks so much Bruce. For the first time in my life i will tell a guy I love you. You have provided so much clarity and sanity to my life at 65 that i never had before. I am a Canadian but i know a true poet and singer the likes of this world has never seen before. You are the BOSS.

perfect song for today's Presidential Election. just felt like listening to this

When Bruce sings this song...I cry!

Every time I listen to Bruce's intro to this song, and then his epic rendition of arguably the most powerful ballad ever written, I can't help but get choked up and cry. Bruce's live rendition of "The River", and the intro to that song is equally powerful. In that intro, Bruce talks about the struggles between himself and his dad, and how their relationship was a difficult one. I think a lot of people can relate to that, I know I can. I never really had a relationship with my dad in my teenage and adult years. He up and split after my parents divorced when I was 12 years old, and he'd show up once in a blue moon (I.E. every other year at best). My Ma and I, boy did we fight tooth and nail, just like Springsteen describes with his dad. My Ma and I have reconciled, thank God, and I'm glad I can say I have a great mother. Not a lot people get to that point, ya know. Usually it's too late and the parent(s) die before bridges are mended. But my old man, well, last I heard he was down in Texas doing a garden variety of hard drugs such as Meth and heroin. Peace and love, yall! :-)

Best version ever. TKS

Por lejos, la mejor versión de esta maravillosa canción!

An amazing song done by a brilliant artist

and this is why it should be shared, not to fight wars over it, but to use it to help all, instead of destroying it for profits of a few!

thank you for this lovely song , yes it is our land

Well I rode that ribbon highway I saw above me the endless sky I saw below me the golden valley This land was made for you and me I've roamed and rambled and followed my footsteps Through the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts And all around me a voice was calling This land was made for you and me This land is your land This land is my land From California To the New York island From the Redwood Forest To the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and me Well the sun came shining and I was strolling Through wheat fields waving and dust clouds rolling And a voice was sounding As the fog was lifting Saying this land was made for you and me This land is your land This land is my land From California To the New York island From the Redwood Forest To the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and me

Maybe you've been working as hard as you're able, But you've just got crumbs from the rich man's table, And maybe you're thinking, was it truth or fable, That this land was made for you and me.

Thank you my brother. This song is for the everyday folk that make this country run.

Thank you very much for this version of "This Land is Your Land" !!

One day we will make this song true

his voice is soo gooood!

Hello! I am from Puerto Rico not United States, that said I will like to say this is a beautiful song for any one’s PATRIA, home country. Thank you Pete Seger.

Its the gratest song no just aboot American, alone ....but aboot the land under youre feet in all lands ...all lands africa Australia Asian Scotland we own the land around our feet. Thom in Scotland.

I’m a puertorrican born in the Philadelphia but raised here on the island. Probably most of my compatriots would stone me for saying this but this song is so beautiful it touches me (even more than our own patriotic songs) and it makes me feel I’m living in the wrong country. I’ve tried many times to make it in the states but always end up down here. The best memories I have are from the times I’ve been there. but it feels like the land that saw me come into this world don’t want anything to do with me. Hope has faded away but I always dream of America, and I’m always sad about it. (Damn that almost sounds like a country song)

So passionate. A great homage to this classic song and the promise of the founders of this country.

Woody. An American treasure. Never forget.

The best version of this amazing song I have ever seen & heard

great song i dont live in the US but still it is a great song

Beautiful, moving, intense...........who else could get over 5.5 million views and counting for such a well-known song>>>????????????? I think during a stretch of the 80's Bruce's voice, emotions, and band were at their best, perhaps, as compared to other live performances in other years.....................

beautiful words form Bruce and then a beautiful performance....

Danke für den Upload 🎉 Ich habe Tränen in den Augen😢
