They played it live for at least a decade prior, but in 2019, Big Heard Todd and the Monsters teamed up with Blues Traveler’s John Popper on a terrifically fun (if overly faithful) cover of “Rosalita (Come Out Tonight).”

One time only: At an Atlanta soundcheck on the Tunnel of Love Tour, Bruce covered the musical inspiration for one his greatest anthems.

In 1977, Bruce had a killer backing track in search of some lyrics. The search continues.

One time only: Bruce joins an all-star Survival Sunday line-up to cover The Neville Brothers’ “Brother John.”

Presenting the first in an occasional catch-up/round-up of terrific “I’m on Fire” covers.

Into the river we dive, as we appreciate one of Bruce’s finest and most heartbreaking songs.

Two days after Prince’s untimely departure, Bruce and the E Street Band took the stage in purple and delivered one of their greatest covers ever.

This gorgeous Jackson Browne-ian work-in-progress ballad might have made for a gorgeous song had Bruce completed it.

A lost original Springsteen song survives as a Red Bank Rockers instrumental–but whatever happened to the lyrics?
