You can find the heart of many Springsteen songs in a single line. In “Drive All Night,” it’s in the sax solo–it says more than any lyric ever could.
Two great live performances of “Cadillac Ranch” today–both by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
A rare instrumental cover by Bruce, “Once Upon a Time in the West is a gorgeous composition by Italian composer Ennio Morricone.
From John Prine’s 1991 album The Missing Years comes this wry, bitter rocker, written by Prine and John Mellencamp.
An unfinished, unreleased demo that would resonate particularly well these days.
Bruce takes a backing guitar role only on this one, but it’s too beautiful a performance not to include: From Black and White Night, “The Comedians.”
John Hiatt gives us a sharp-edged, hard-driving take on Bruce’s “Johnny 99.”
Bruce and Nicky Addeo and the Night Owls croon a soulful cover of “What’s Your Name?” at the Stone Pony.
“County Fair” is a perfect song about a perfect day, and so delicate that live performance can’t match the power of the version on record.
