1975: On his night off during his three-night stand in Philadelphia, Bruce takes in the J. Geils Band show at the Spectrum from the press box (along with actress Faye Dunaway).
1977: Bruce and the E Street Band record for Darkness on the Edge of Town at The Record Plant in New York City.
1980: At Night Two of three in Uniondale on the River Tour, Bruce opens with the tour premiere of “Night.” Toward the end of the show comes another premiere: a tour one-off of “Incident on 57th Street.” That performance of “Incident” will be released as a B-side years later, and “Darkness on the Edge of Town,” “This Land is Your Land,” and “You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch)” will be officially released on Live 1975-85. This show is available as part of Bruce’s official archive series–get it here.
1986: Max, Garry, and Patti drop by the set of Good Morning, America to share their thoughts about what it’s like to be in the E Street Band.
2017: Patti Scialfa is sick with the flu, so Bruce continues playing the “B” setlist at Springsteen on Broadway at the Walter Kerr Theater in New York City.
