Catch Bruce playing in Denver, and you just might get lucky enough to hear him cover Bob Seger’s 1974 classic.
Band-friendly and Ironically faithful to the historically inaccurate original, Bruce’s 1997 arrangement of “Jesse James” is likely to come out at both Seeger and E Street shows. Backstory and great performances inside.
Little Mazarn’s brand-new cover of Bruce’s biggest hit is one of my favorite “Dancing in the Dark” covers yet. Take a listen inside.
One time only: Facing his largest audience ever, performing for the first time as a married man, Bruce shared what was on his mind by covering The Beach Boys’ “When I Grow Up (To Be a Man).”
In this installment from the 1968 Notebook, we learn that Bruce had his lean, spare storytelling chops long before he revealed them on Nebraska.
One time only: Bruce joins Steve Earle on his classic “I Ain’t Ever Satisfied” when Earle makes a 1998 visit to Sea Bright, New Jersey.
Turnabout’s fair play: After Bruce paid homage to The Bee Gees on his 2014 tour, Barry Gibb returned the favor by covering Bruce a few months later.
In defense of “Working on a Dream,” the perfect title track for one of Bruce’s best and most underrated albums.
One time only: Bruce joins Roy Orbison on vocals for his 1962 hit, “Dream Baby” at Roy’s 1987 Black and White Night concert. Plus: listen to Bruce adapt the song at home in 1981.
