Is a discarded fifty-years-old, thirty-minutes-long opus really the secret origin of “Kitty’s Back,” “Cadillac Ranch,” and “One Step Up?” Just listen and decide for yourself.

My last show of 2012 was a nice Wrecking Ball capstone, with lots of small but satisfying surprises.
My first show in Milano hooked me on Italian shows forever–once I managed to survive getting inside.
Mere weeks before Little Steven released his cover of Etta James’ “The Blues is My Business,” he and Bruce (and the rest of the Upstage Jam Band) covered it at the Paramount Theater in Asbury Park.
A solid setlist, a loose performance, and some surprising placements made for a great night in Vancouver on the Wrecking Ball Tour.
The Bruce cover that never was: Bette Midler recorded her version of “Pink Cadillac,” but Bruce refused to let her release it. Find out why and check out her live performance of it inside.
“What Love Can Do” is a reminder that while love can’t solve society’s ills, it can give us the strength to face them. It’s more timely now than when Bruce wrote it.
One time only, more than fifty years ago: Bruce and the Castiles cover Donovan’s first single, “Catch the Wind.”
“Ricky Wants a Man of Her Own” is a fun, poppy outtake from the River sessions–guaranteed to make you smile (unless you’re a parent to a teenage girl, in which case you’ll wince).
No one could have known that this was Clarence’s final show. But it almost seems like Bruce did, because it’s hard to imagine a more fitting tribute to their friendship.
