One time only: Bruce and Billy Joel team up on Billy’s 1993 hit at a 2008 benefit show for Barack Obama.
Cover Me, The Big Land Band: Ghosts
Bruce’s celebratory “Ghosts” sounds like it was born for a band, but William Goetz of The Big Land Band finds the song’s wistful, nostalgic heart in his beautiful acoustic cover.
Cover Me: Save the Last Dance for Me
Bruce doesn’t play The Drifters’ 1960 classic often, but each time he does, it’s a magic moment.

“Love of the Common People” stood out as one of the more contemporary set list selections on the Seeger Sessions Tour, but thematically it fit perfectly.

Half a century ago and twice only (thankfully): Bruce adapted Irving Berlin’s 1911 classic as the short-lived theme song for Dr. Zoom and the Sonic Boom.
MatR: Bruce Springsteen and John Eddie: Blue Suede Shoes
One time only (and *almost* another): Bruce joins John Eddie on Carl Perkins’ breakthrough rockabilly hit.
