They may have been a throwaway reference in Chuck Berry’s “Back in the U.S.A.,” but when Bruce covered the song, it was all about the burgers.

Listen to Bruce’s greatest unfinished rocker from the Darkness sessions and imagine what a show-stopper we *almost* had.
Bruce joins a stellar line-up of guest musicians at a 1994 John Eddie concert to cover Elvis Presley’s last number one hit, “Suspicious Minds.”
Just in case Bruce’s video for “Dancing in the Dark” isn’t eighties enough for you… well, sometimes its better to just let a clip speak for itself.
When Bruce walked into a recording studio for only the second time, he recorded one of his earliest crowd-pleasers with his band, Steel Mill. Listen to that studio recording along with a great live performance inside.
One time only: Bruce Springsteen covers one of rock’s most instantly recognizable songs: The Music Explosion’s “Little Bit O’ Soul.”
Undeservedly obscure, “Trouble River” is a fun Human Touch-era soul rocker with deceptively dark lyrics and a long, terrific guitar solo from Bruce–this one needs more attention.
Richard Shindell’s arrangement of “Born in the U.S.A.” highlights the anger and loss in the lyrics without sacrificing the melody. It’s a brilliant cover–take a listen inside.
One time only: For the first time, Bruce and Jon Bon Jovi join forces for one of Bon Jovi’s own songs–a signature one at that.
During the early weeks of the Tunnel of Love Express Tour, Bruce often closed the show with a mid-encore performance of Elvis Presley’s enduring classic, “Love Me Tender.” Watch a 31-year old performance captured on video inside.
