At the beginning of the clip, the camera scrolls past a rack of guitars, before capturing Springsteen and some of the E Street Band members preparing to head onto the stage. Next, the Boss is shown strapping on a Fender Telecaster and ascending a flight of stairs toward the stage as the crowd chants, “Bruuuuce!”

The video then cuts to Springsteen coming back down the stairs at the end of the concert, and backstage as he congratulates his bandmates for a “great show.” Bruce then declares, “I’ll see you in…,” and some of members of the band and crew yell out, “Las Vegas!,” which is the tour’s next stop.
