One of my favorite “Brilliant Disguise” covers–Thompson Square gets to the heart of the song and its shifting meaning over time.
The E Street Band covered one of the world’s most well-known gospel hymns to salute their dearly departed bandmate.
Cher’s cover of “Tougher The Rest” is a bit over the top, but c’mon… it’s Vegas!
Ryan Adams celebrates “1994 Day” (really) with an intimate cover of Bruce’s “Streets of Philadelphia.”
My Morning Jacket delivered a faithful cover of “Hungry Heart” at their New Year’s Eve concert in 2012.
“Ain’t Too Proud to Beg” paved the way for “Back in Your Arms” and other down-on-my-knees Springsteen classics. Hear Bruce and the band cover it inside.
Passenger stops by SiriusXM’s Studios and performs a stripped-down cover of “The River.”
It’s time for another “I’m on Fire” cover–by a trio who nails it so well that I can only narrow them down to three great performances.
Bruce joined The Four Tops and Diana Ross at the 1990 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremonies for the Tops’ “I Can’t Help Myself.” (I think–can’t actually pick him out. But give it try.)
