E Street Shuffle Archive

One time only: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band covered The Chantays’ “Pipeline” at a 1980 rehearsal session.

Back in 2011, Rome-based Mardi Gras released a gorgeously uplifting cover of “Land of Hope and Dreams.” Check it out inside.

The early E Street Band had a lot in common with the late Bruce Springsteen Band, and nowhere was that more apparent than in their cover of Rufus Thomas’ “Walking the Dog.”

One time only: Bruce and Nils accompany Elvis Costello in a tender reading of Patti Scialfa’s gorgeous “Black Ladder.”

When Britt Daniel of Spoon and Dan Boeckner of Wolf Parade formed Divine Fits, one of the covers they performed together was Bruce Springsteen’s “Hungry Heart.” Check it out inside.

“Get Up, Stand Up” was the perfect song to end each show on the Human Rights Now! Tour and kick off the tour’s 10th anniversary celebration. Watch both performances inside.

This lonely River-era acoustic outtake never made it past the home demo stage, but with Bruce’s warm melody and vocals it demonstrated a lot of promise.

One time only: Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, and Nils Lofgren perform a beautiful acoustic rendition of Neil’s “Helpless.”

It’s Double-Shot Tuesday! Check out not one but *two* terrific, fresh covers of Bruce’s oft-covered classic from the folks at Scary Pockets, featuring Rett Madison and George Krikes.

One time only (that we know of): Bruce’s first band plays one of his earliest original songs, co-written with George Theiss and inspired by The Kinks.
