Your daily dose of Springsteen originals and covers
On this date: Bruce performs “The Angel” for the first time and soundchecks a new song, “American Skin (41 Shots).” Plus: Bruce is honored on Ellis Island, and the E Street Band returns to the stage after the passing of Danny Federici. Many more highlights inside.
Bruce meets Patti, kicks off the Wrecking Ball tour, makes a guest appearance with Dropkick Murphys, plays the first public gig with the reunited E Street Band, and more on this VERY busy day in Bruce history.
One time only, in the studio and on stage: Bruce joins Dropkick Murphys on their Celtic punk transformation of the sweet standard “Peg o’ My Heart.”
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.
Mind. Blown.
