Certainly, the lyrics don&#8217;t. &#8220;Action in the Streets&#8221; is basically a song-length &#8220;everybody dance!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>Don&#8217;t move, I want you to listen now to what I&#8217;m saying<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Hey you, you better get up if you plan to be staying<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Get loose, come on and live for what the band is playing<\/em><br \/>\n<em>And it&#8217;s whoa tonight, we&#8217;re rocking on the street<\/em><br \/>\n<em>All night we&#8217;re thinking about the street<\/em><br \/>\n<em>And driving, driving in the heat, and let&#8217;s go<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>At school, everybody you better take heed<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Hey you, in this action that you need<\/em><br \/>\n<em>That&#8217;s cool, it&#8217;s satisfaction guaranteed<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Whoa\u00a0 tonight, we&#8217;re rocking on the rhythm all night<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Won&#8217;t you ???, let&#8217;s roll<\/em><br \/>\n<em>???, let&#8217;s go<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>Hey man, now don&#8217;t let the little girls slide<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Understand, move your body from side to side<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Raise your hand, and shout until you&#8217;re satisfied<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Whoa tonight, we&#8217;re rocking to the rhythm all night<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Until you get the feeling don&#8217;t go<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Racing in the street, don&#8217;t care<\/em><\/p>\n<p>No, &#8220;Action in the Streets&#8221; was all about the music. Bruce loved its brassy, Miami Horns-powered instrumental underpinning.<\/p>\n<p>I mean he <em>loved\u00a0<\/em>it&#8211;so much so that he kept writing songs on top of it. Listen to E Street Band shows throughout the 1970s and you&#8217;ll hear it in &#8220;A Night Like This&#8221; and &#8220;A Love So Fine.&#8221; You&#8217;ll hear it on the vintage studio track &#8220;So Young and in Love&#8221; (which Bruce recorded in the &#8217;70s but didn&#8217;t perform live until the post-Reunion era). And of course, we hear it in &#8220;Action in the Streets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, he gave up on lyrics altogether and just turned it into a Big Man showcase called &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/estreetshuffle.com\/index.php\/2020\/12\/12\/roll-of-the-dice-paradise-by-the-c\/\">Paradise by the &#8216;C&#8217;.<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the modern era, &#8220;Action in the Streets&#8221; is all but forgotten, unplayed on tour since 1977 and overshadowed on disc and stage by its cousin, &#8220;So Young and in Love.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But on a summer night at the Wonder Bar in Asbury Park in 2011, eyebrows were raised and minds blown when Bruce strode onto the stage with J.T. Bowen and The Sensational Soul Cruisers. Together, they played a set of songs that once upon a time spotlit the (at the time) recently departed Clarence Clemons.<\/p>\n<p>The set started with a familiar melody that fooled most who recognized it into expecting &#8220;So Young and in Love.&#8221; By the time Bowen entered with his vocals, however, hardcore fans knew they were witnessing the return of &#8220;Action in the Streets&#8221; after an almost 35-year absence.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"758\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GDXOZ-0WTRo?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p>For the few in attendance, it was a magical throwback to a simpler time&#8211;one not likely to be repeated again.
