Rest in peace, Clarence “Big Man” Clemons. Clarence passed away on this date in 2011, but watch his magical performance with Bruce–just the two of them–from this date in 1988.
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.
“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.
