One time only: Bruce Springsteen, Jimmy Vivino, and The Max Weinberg 7 rescue a lost Christmas classic from obscurity.

A holiday show favorite! Check out Bruce’s only-in-New Jersey cover performances of Chuck Berry’s classic Christmas rocker.

Bruce’s “other” Christmas song is almost as well-known and much-loved as his “Santa Claus,” even though he’s never performed it beyond New Jersey or New York.

Happy Holidays from E Street Shuffle! Enjoy this guided tour through Bruce’s best Christmas-themed performances.

Bruce closes out Lucky Town by revisiting the narrator who opens Tunnel of Love.

“Souls of the Departed” serves as the mirror image and bookend to “Better Days” on Bruce’s Lucky Town album–a deeply unsettling song about the hidden costs of a charmed life.

The second time’s the charm: Bruce takes another crack at writing about wedding days, and this time he captures the life lessons he learned since the first time.

In 1991, Bruce shed his skin and embraced life as a family man with “Living Proof,” one of the most important and influential songs in his catalog. Analysis and great performances inside.

Ominous, brooding, and referential, “The Big Muddy” sticks out like a sore thumb on Bruce’s Lucky Town album–but it’s one of the album’s best songs.

“If I Should Fall Behind” is an enduring favorite that continuously grows, changes, and evolves like the best and strongest of relationships.
