Here’s a lovely under-the-radar duet featuring one of Bruce’s best 90s vocals and a verse he couldn’t resist.

Bruce based two of his most uplifting songs on Curtis Mayfield’s “People Get Ready,” but the only time he ever performed the original in an arena was with U2 in 2005. Watch that loose, fun performance inside.

“Clouds” is the first entry in Bruce’s legendary lost 1968 Notebook. Likely performed in his solo acoustic shows that year, “Clouds” is the lament of a Vietnam soldier clinging desperately to visions of home, love, and life.

We’re one year old! Here’s the plan for year two.

One time only: Bruce joins Steve Earle and the Dukes on “Johnny Come Lately,” Earle’s sibling song to “Born in the U.S.A.”

Warren Zevon has a blast covering “Cadillac Ranch” at a beautifully captured 1982 performance.

It’s up for debate whether Darlene Love’s vocals are anywhere to be found on the original recording, but she certainly was front and center with the E Street Band at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concert in 2009.

“Goin’ Cali” traces Bruce’s journey from east to west, from isolation and frustration to connection and reinvention.

Bluegrass band Salamander Crossing transformed Bruce’s Tunnel of Love deep cut for their 1996 Passion Train album.

“Heaven Help the Lonely” should have been a hit single for Willie Nile; Bruce clearly enjoyed playing it with Willie at back-to-back Light of Day appearances.
