Happy birthday to Steven Van Zandt, born on this day in 1950! Plus: one acoustic tour kicks off while another one ends, Clarence plays his last public show with Bruce, and Bruce is honored by President Obama. Big, big day in Springsteen history!
Tag: Zero and Blind Terry
On this date: Seven-year-old Bruce stays up late to watch Elvis, gorgeous soundboard recordings from a 1974 show and rehearsal, and more.
Often dismissed as a work-in-progress “Zero and Blind Terry,” “Phantoms” is actually a completely different song (with the same music). It represents the closing of a chapter in Bruce’s songwriting.
