Bruce debuts “Turn Back the Hands of Time” and a country arrangement of “No Surrender,” takes over the Tonight Show, and teaches us how to count.
Bruce broke up the band on this date in 1989, but there are plenty of happy highlights too: the first-ever performances of “Drive All Night” and “Hungry Heart,” an adorable tape-recorded message to local schoolchildren, the premiere of Legends of Springsteen, Charlie’s first E Street appearance, and more.
Bruce shoots the video for “Brilliant Disguise,” Nils drops by David Letterman’s show, Jake makes an early E Street Band appearance back in 2009, and Ben Stiller resurrects his Bruce impression on SNL. More highlights inside.
