Your daily dose of Springsteen originals and covers
Bruce kicks off August with a bang: from the debut of the Miami Horns, the first-ever performances of “Something in the Night,” “Two for the Road,” “Rendezvous,” and “Trouble River,” a Letterman appearance, bar gigs and more–this date in history is jam-packed! (And yet Bruce still finds time to take in a ballgame…)
On this date: Bruce releases The Rising, his first E Street Band album in 18 years. Watch the day’s festivities inside. Plus: the premiere of “All the Way Home” in 1992, reggae versions of “Born in the U.S.A.” and “My Hometown,” and more.
Happy birthday, Patti Scialfa, born on this date in 1953! Watch Bruce wish his wife a happy birthday by premiering “Give the Girl a Kiss” in her honor. More highlights inside.
Happy birthday, Bobby King! Plus: a sizzling set in a rainy Rock Creek Park, the debut of “Summertime Blues,” the emotional return of “Jungleland,” and more.
On this date: Bruce plays “My Father’s House” for the first time and rehearses in front of a lucky crowd of contest winners. Lots of video inside.
On this date: Soozie Tyrell joins the E Street family, and Evan James joins the Springsteen family. Plus: Bruce plays… an IPO party?
Don’t even know where to start today–treasures abound. Listen to a gorgeous Bruce Springsteen Band performance from ’71, the earliest known performance of “New York City Serenade,” watch a delightful Copenhagen street performance, and so very much more.
On this date: Bruce and Steve play an emotional tribute to the victims of the Norway attacks, Bruce makes surprise appearances with Southside Johnny and Joe Grushecky, and the feature documentary Springsteen & I is released to theaters worldwide.
On this date: Steven Van Zandt makes his E Street Band debut as the Born to Run tour gets underway. Plus: he may be the best at capturing a crowd’s attention, but even Bruce can’t compete with a moon landing.
Highlights from New Years Eve shows across the years, including the earliest known prototype of “Drive All Night.”
