This uncirculating, fifty-year-old recording showcases the Bruce Springsteen Band at the height of their powers.

Listen in on The Bruce Springsteen Band (with guest soloist Southside Johnny) grooving their way through Bruce’s original song, “The Band’s Just Boppin’ the Blues.”

One time only: Backing vocalist Francine Daniels joins the Bruce Springsteen Band for three nights only, including this only known performance of Bruce’s “Living in Rock and Roll.”

“Coming Home” is a rare studio recording from the Bruce Springsteen Band era and an early precursor to one of Bruce’s greatest hits.

This dark and lonely song was never recorded and performed only once–but it was captured on tape, and you can hear it inside.

Nothing particularly stands out about this Bruce Springsteen Band-era road song, but sometimes that’s not that the aim.

Did a holiday father-son roadtrip inspire this Bruce Springsteen Band gem? We may never know, but with a groove this funky, who cares?
