Your daily dose of Springsteen originals and covers
Bruce kicks off August with a bang: from the debut of the Miami Horns, the first-ever performances of “Something in the Night,” “Two for the Road,” “Rendezvous,” and “Trouble River,” a Letterman appearance, bar gigs and more–this date in history is jam-packed! (And yet Bruce still finds time to take in a ballgame…)
A rare performance of “Lion’s Den” and a surprise cover of Van Halen’s “Jump” lead today’s highlights.
Undeservedly obscure, “Trouble River” is a fun Human Touch-era soul rocker with deceptively dark lyrics and a long, terrific guitar solo from Bruce–this one needs more attention.
