Your daily dose of Springsteen originals and covers
This date in Springsteen history is full of notable events: from the famous MTV “Plugged” show to the infamous “ex-girlfriend’ show, from the very first “A Love So Fine” to the start of the talk show circuit for Bruce’s autobiography–all this and much more from this date.
Bruce finishes “Born to Run,” says farewell to Jon Stewart on The Daily Show, shoots the video for “Leap of Faith” and records official live performances of “Nebraska,” “No Surrender,” and “Trapped.” Lots of video and audio today.
Bruce plays his longest show ever in Helsinki, well over four hours including a pre-show. Plus: surprise appearances with U2, Bruce Hornsby, and Marshall Crenshaw, the live debut of “Lift Me Up” and more.
