Classic all-star Hall of Fame team-ups lead the highlights from this date in Springsteen history.
Today in Springsteen history: Bruce releases two new videos, a star-studded holiday show in Asbury Park features the return of some notable set list prodigals, and an epic 20-minute “Kitty’s Back.” More highlights inside.
On this date: Bruce releases his third studio album, Born to Run. Plus: Little Steven fronts the E Street Band at a 2009 soundcheck, a memorable on-stage marriage proposal, and more.
It’s a big music video day for Bruce: in Berlin, he teams up with Wolfgang Niedecken for a new “Hungry Heart” video, in Sheffield he shoots the official “Spare Parts” video, and on the Internet, he releases the short film, “Hunter of Invisible Game.”
The rocking arrangement and blunt language of “Spare Parts” overwhelms the dilemma at its center its moral of redemptive self-empowerment. Like “Born in the U.S.A.,” its true power emerges when it’s performed quietly.
