RotD/MatR/CM: Tiger Rose

Cover Me: Got My Mojo Working
The Bruce Springsteen Band delivered a terrific cover of “Got My Mojo Working” in Richmond in 1971. Just don’t ask me who they were covering.
Cover Me, Marshall Crenshaw: All or Nothin' at All
Marshall Crenshaw delivers an outstanding cover of one of Bruce’s undeservedly overlooked songs.
Cover Me: Take Me Out to the Ball Game
We’re going obscure today… all the way back to 1973 to hear Bruce and the E Street Band cover the unofficial anthem of America’s national pastime.
Roll of the Dice: We've Got to Do It Now
“We’ve Got to Do It Now” is a Steel Mill-era anti-war song with co-lead vocals by Bruce and Robbin Thompson.

Cover Me: Gulf Coast Highway
Bruce covered Nanci Griffith’s gorgeous ballad at a 1988 soundcheck in New York City.
Where the Band Was: Pittsburgh, January 16, 2016
