Bruce doesn’t play “Brown Eyed Girl” often, but when he does, it’s a singalong highlight, with no teleprompter required.

My all-time favorite Bruce cover: a tender re-working of “Tougher Than the Rest” by a vocalist with the emotional range to perfectly capture the song’s nuance.

Part novelty and part testimony to the E Street Band’s versatility, Bruce opened several early shows with a cover of Duke Ellington’s last great hit.

“From Small Things” got some cover love long before Bruce officially released it. Here’s one of the best. from the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band in 1990.

“We Are Alive” delivers one of Bruce’s most hopeful messages through his some of his most macabre imagery–quite an impressive feat.

Bruce and Bryan Adams meet on stage for the first time to cover Bryan’s 1983 hit at the 2017 Invictus Games.

It may have taken him two attempts to get started, but Roger Daltrey absolutely nails his “Born to Run” cover.

Bruce delivers a powerful, emotional, and cathartic communal experience at his first 9/11 show since the 2001 attacks.

Rock royalty gathers in 1988 to induct The Beatles into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Bruce takes a turn at the mic on their 1963 classic.
