On this date: the live premiere of “Trapped” and guest appearances with Bono, Dropkick Murphys, the Rolling Stones, and… Stephen King? (Yep, and Dave Barry, Amy Tan, Matt Groening and more–this one needs to be seen to be believed.)

On this date: Bruce drafts Mumford & Sons at Pinkpop, films a pro-shot show in Stockholm, plays a new song for John Fogerty’s birthday, and gets the green light to start recording again when he settles his legal dispute with Mike Appel.
Bruce serenades and conducts a sing-along from an Italian balcony, Joe Grushecky joins Bruce for a wildly unpredictable show in Pittsburgh, and more.
Great highlights on this day in Springsteen history, including Bruce’s first guest appearance in Europe, promotional performance footage from 1973, local Spanish TV news footage from 1993, and more.
Talk about a significant date: Bruce plays his legendary Jazz Fest show in 2006; “Dancing in the Dark” makes its reunion-era debut; MTV debuts a new documentary; and the Sunshine Blues Band debuts. Much more inside.
“Why’s It So Hard” is a Springsteen original, but he takes a backseat in his only live performance of it. Southside Johnny takes the lead vocals, and Dave Sancious is absolutely on fire on the organ. Take a listen inside.
