On this date: Bruce teams up with Joe Grushecky, Robert Gordon, Dion, and Marah. Plus: the earliest recorded “Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town,” and more.
Bruce broke up the band on this date in 1989, but there are plenty of happy highlights too: the first-ever performances of “Drive All Night” and “Hungry Heart,” an adorable tape-recorded message to local schoolchildren, the premiere of Legends of Springsteen, Charlie’s first E Street appearance, and more.
“Wrecking Ball” (the song) debuted on this date. Plus: Bruce films Black & White Night with Roy Orbison, joins Bryan Adams at the Invictus Games, makes his first and only appearance in India, and more.
Two legendary shows happened on this date: the 1981 Vietnam Veterans benefit and the closing show of the 1984 ten-night Meadowlands stand. Highlights from these and other great shows inside.
Patti and Bruce reunited with Dion DiMucci last year on a second religious-themed collaboration.
Dion adds yet another arrangement to the many incarnations of Bruce’s “If I Should Fall Behind.” His doo-wop treatment is such a natural fit, you’d think the song was written that way.
