Jimmy Eat World absolutely nails it with their cover of this gem from Tracks. It’s one of the best Springsteen covers out there, if you can find it.
“Two Hearts” is one of Bruce’s early songwriting masterpieces, and one that is best listened to acoustically than in its original arrangement.
“Bring on the Night” is one of the weaker outtakes on Tracks, but it offers insight into its descendant, “My Love Will Not Let You Down.”
From her 2006 live album, Maria McKee delivers a powerful, beautiful cover of “Backstreets.”
“Lift Me Up” is a delicate, ethereal coda to Limbo, John Sayles’ brilliant film.
A fascinating work-in-progress that eventually led to “Janey, Don’t You Lose Heart.”
Bruce wraps up the High Hopes Tour with a barn burner, exhausting himself in the process. He barely made it through the show, but oh, what a show.
From 1977, a well-done (if overly faithful) version of “The Fever” from Dean Ford.
Bruce gifted us with the most jaw-droppingly unpredictable show I’d ever seen as the High Hopes Tour started its last stand.
