With soaring vocals and a backing track filled with sublime strings, castanets and kettle drums, horns and harps, &#8220;Then He Kissed Me&#8221; has a lush sound that can&#8217;t help but enchant even the least romantic among us.<\/p>\n<p>And Bruce is nothing if not a romantic.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s not alone. &#8220;Then He Kissed Me&#8221; was a huge hit when it was originally released in the summer of 1963, peaking at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was still remembered fondly a decade later when Bruce brought it back to the stage during his tour behind <em>The Wild, The Innocent &amp; The E Street Shuffle.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>He played it a few times that summer and autumn, and when he took the E Street Band back out on tour the following summer to promote\u00a0<em>Born to Run<\/em>, &#8220;Then She Kissed Me&#8221; was a staple throughout the month of August, including and most especially at his legendary breakthrough stand at The Bottom Line in New York City.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"758\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hHFjL-XDlHE?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p>Bruce&#8217;s cover was superbly faithful, although he made one very noticeable change: Much later in his career, Bruce would grow more comfortable singing from a woman&#8217;s or a gay man&#8217;s perspective, but in 1975 he apparently felt more comfortable flipping gender pronouns and retitling the song, &#8220;Then She Kissed Me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Then again, he wasn&#8217;t the first cover artist who felt the need to invert &#8220;Then He Kissed Me.&#8221; The Beach Boys did that first back in 1965, and a lot more awkwardly to boot. (&#8220;Her&#8221; is an awful word to hold a note on, and Al Jardine had to swallow it each time.)<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"758\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hiOX3gtCAFA?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Then She Kissed Me&#8221; was an early highlight each time it appeared in Bruce&#8217;s set, and yet it was gone from his set lists by the time Labor Day rolled around.<\/p>\n<p>Bruce didn&#8217;t perform it again for thirty-three years&#8230; to the day. Whether he knew it or not (probably not), Bruce chose the anniversary of the day he&#8217;d last played &#8220;Then She Kissed Me&#8221; to perform it again, opening his instantly legendary Magic Tour show in St. Louis with it on August 23, 2008.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"758\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hUzP8DQyBD0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p>That was no audible, and to the best of my knowledge it wasn&#8217;t by request. Bruce just seemed to be in a 1975 mood that night&#8211;those of us in the lottery line outside the arena were able to hear him soundcheck not just &#8220;Then She Kissed Me&#8221; but also &#8220;When You Walk in the Room&#8221; and &#8220;Little Queenie,&#8221; two other notable 1975 tour covers. Not only that, he even played &#8220;Mountain of Love&#8221; during the show by request.<\/p>\n<p>Bruce performed &#8220;Then She Kissed Me&#8221; once more (by request this time) the following summer in Sunrise, Florida, but it&#8217;s been absent from his set list ever since.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s clearly a song for which Bruce has a great deal of affection, though, so all it might take is a
