One time only: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band open their Halloween 1980 show with a cover of Johnny Fuller’s spooky classic.
Stop what you’re doing, put your headphones on, and listen to this outstanding live loop cover of Bruce’s 1982 classic.
A departure at the time, “Out in the Street” established a theme of community in Bruce’s songwriting that became a hallmark of the E Street Band experience.
It took four decades and seven private priors, but Bruce finally debuted “Green River” on the E Street stage with its songwriter, John Fogerty.
It’s a muddy recording, but this early rocker has a self-deprecating “I’m Goin’ Down” charm that wins us over.
Patty Griffin and Gregory Alan Isakov go all-Bruce in the encores of their current tour. Here’s one of my favorites from the the other night in Portland.
A brief highlight round-up of my Springsteen-related events and activities from this past week.
They don’t write ’em any sadder than this, but you’ll need to turn to Bruce’s acoustic performances to truly feel the pathos.
It may be called 23rd Street Lullaby, but “You Can’t Go Back” is the song that best captures the spirit of Patti’s second album.
