Are you loose? Bruce certainly was, the first time the E Street Band covered Chuck Berry’s 1959 classic, “Little Queenie.”

Lanny Cordola delivers a beautiful, atmospheric studio recording of “My Beautiful Reward.”
Although Bruce has never officially covered “I’m Alive” in concert, he did tinker with The Hollies’ #1 UK hit during a 1978 soundcheck. Check it out inside.
Bruce’s cover of the Elvis Presley classic has stayed under the radar despite several official releases.
John Legend has covered Bruce’s greatest hit many times, but my favorite is when he teamed up with The Roots on the Tonight Show.
One time only: Bruce joined Lucinda Williams and her band on stage in London to perform a cover of Melvin Jackson’s “Disgusted.”
Bruce’s most recent album features his earliest officially released cover: Bo Diddley’s “You Can’t Judge a Book by the Cover.”
As far as I’m concerned, Dave Alvin’s cover of “Seeds” is the definitive version of the song.
Bruce has played Little Richard’s “Lucille” dozens of times in bars and clubs over the years, but exceedingly rarely with the E Street Band. Check out some great performances of this early rock classic inside.
Mere weeks before Little Steven released his cover of Etta James’ “The Blues is My Business,” he and Bruce (and the rest of the Upstage Jam Band) covered it at the Paramount Theater in Asbury Park.
