Cover Me, Ian Noe: Born in the U.S.A.
Ian Noe has been covering “Born in the U.S.A.” in concert for years, but this 2013 performance may be his best.
MatR: Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, and Exit 105: All Along the Watchtower
First with Neil Young, then with Exit 105, Bruce turns in covers of Bob Dylan’s classic that are epic in both length and intensity.
Cover Me, Precious Metal: Two Hearts
Check out Precious Metal’s hard-driving, power pop rendition of “Two Hearts,” approved by The Boss himself (or so we’re told).
MatR: Patti Scialfa and Bruce Springsteen: Town Called Heartbreak
An answer song of sorts to “If I Should Fall Behind,” Patti Scialfa’s “Town Called Heartbreak” is one of her strongest tracks and a highlight of the early Magic Tour.
MatR: Prince, Bruce Springsteen, and Madonna: Baby I'm a Star
One time only: Pop’s triumvirate unites on stage for the first and only time when the Purple Rain Tour stops in L.A.
Cover Me, Vatican Cellars: Darkness on the Edge of Town
Back in 2009, Vatican Cellars gave us a cover of “Darkness on the Edge of Town” both daring and beautiful–check out their cello-led arrangement inside.
Cover Me: Seventh Son
One time only: Honoring a young fan’s request (or perhaps his parents’), Bruce and the E Street Band delivered a crowd-pleasing cover of Johnny Rivers’ 1965 hit.
MatR: Pete Seeger, Bruce Springsteen, and Friends: Well May the World Go
One time only: on the occasion of Pete Seeger’s 90th birthday, Bruce, Patti, and an all-star line-up of musicians join Seeger in a rousing rendition of his 1973 benediction.
Cover Me, Amy Helm: Atlantic City
The Band may have recorded the definitive cover of “Atlantic City,” but Amy Helm does her dad proud with her own version.
Cover Me: Tell Me Why
One time only (in public, at least): Bruce Springsteen pays tribute to the Fab Four when the E Street Band plays their first-ever show in the same Atlantic City building where The Beatles once played.
