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…)
On this day in Springsteen history: The Tunnel of Love Express Tour kicks off, the E Street Band plays their last concert to date, the inspiration for one of Bruce’s most controversial songs, and a whole lot more.
Classic all-star Hall of Fame team-ups lead the highlights from this date in Springsteen history.
From his 1999 album, The Closest, Australian country artist Brent Parlane shares a beautiful acoustic arrangement of Bruce’s “Walk Like a Man.”
“Walk Like a Man” is the conclusion to Bruce’s “Daddy Trilogy,” an underplayed and under-recognized masterpiece of songwriting.
