In honor of this week’s #TheHomeShows, here’s Pearl Jam’s scorching one-off cover of “Open All Night.”
Bruce made a surprise appearance at Neil Young’s 1989 concert on Long Island, closing the show with a duet of “Down By the River” in a beautiful, stripped-down performance.
A chance find in an airport duty-free store led to a new Bruce arrangement of an obscure Jimmy Cliff song–and an instant fan favorite.
An unfortunate licensing snafu resulted in one of the finest covers of a Springsteen song.
Bruce originally included “Cindy” on The River back when it was only one disc, but he discarded it before finalizing the two-disc version. That’s too bad, because like “Hungry Heart,” its pop trappings combined with dark lyrics make for a perfect album fit.
Bruce and Patti deliver a gorgeous cover of Jackson Browne’s “Linda Paloma,” more delicate and soaring than the original.
Recorded live and professionally in Seattle, Vampire Weekend performs an acoustic cover of “I’m Goin’ Down.”
Written less than three days after the passing of its inspiration, “Terry’s Song” is at once intensely personal and universal. It reminds us of the importance of truly knowing the people in our lives.
Vance Joy’s gorgeously shot and sung cover of “Dancing in the Dark” captures the frustration and isolation at the root of Bruce’s greatest hit.
