Another great one gone too soon: Bruce Springsteen pays tribute to Glenn Frey, one day following his death on January 18, 2016.
Sometime in late 1981, Bruce sat down with a tape recorder and attempted a cover of “Precious Memories.” Listen to that demo here.
Twice only: Bruce paid tribute to Wilson Pickett with his own version of “Ninety-Nine and a Half (Won’t Do).” Just don’t call it a cover.
Suki Lahav’s tenure in the E Street Band was all too short, but her brief, prominent presence elevated Bruce’s performance–most notably in the pair’s stunning spotlight cover of Bob Dylan’s “I Want You.”
When Bruce and the E Street Band visited INXS’s home town of Sydney in 2014, they paid tribute with one of their very best modern covers.
How in the world did it take Bruce until 2009 to cover The Kinks’ breakthrough hit?
You’ve heard snippets in River-era bootlegs, but if you haven’t heard the one and only recording of Bruce’s full cover of “No Money Down” from way back in 1974, you need to listen to this definitive version inside.
The Bruce Springsteen Band delivered a terrific cover of “Got My Mojo Working” in Richmond in 1971. Just don’t ask me who they were covering.
