A nightly highlight of the Vote for Change Tour wasn’t political at all–it was the Stipe/Springsteen team-up on the Andy Kaufman tribute, “Man on the Moon.”

Bruce plays guitar on the title track of Joe Grushecky’s 2009 album, but even without Bruce’s contribution, “East Carson Street” is a great song about staying true to one’s roots.
One time only: In 1998, Bruce joined Steve Earle on the song he inspired fourteen years earlier.
An answer song of sorts to “If I Should Fall Behind,” Patti Scialfa’s “Town Called Heartbreak” is one of her strongest tracks and a highlight of the early Magic Tour.
One time only: Bruce teams up with Dropkick Murphys on their anthemic “I’m Shipping Up to Boston” on St. Patrick’s Day in 2011.
One time only: Bruce and Billy Joel team up on Billy’s ode to blue-collar communities. Could there be a song better suited for a Billy and Bruce duet?
One of Bruce’s all-time best team-ups: Bruce, Billy Joel, and the E Street Band take on “New York State of Mind”
One week only: At a run of Asbury Park holiday concerts in 2001, Bruce joined Garland Jeffreys on Garland’s 1992 plea for racial harmony.
For a couple of nights in 1977, Steve was the front man and Bruce was the sidekick. Listen in on a highlight from those shows, a wonderful “cover” of Little Steven’s “Some Things Just Don’t Change.”
Magic happens when two legendary front men share the stage. Check out Bruce and Sam Moore performing Sam and Dave’s timeless “Hold On, I’m Comin'”
