Jersey Girl (12)
Guest stars galore in DC, a surprise outdoor jam in Sea Bright, and a Labor Day special in Philly lead off the many highlights from this date in Springsteen history.
Bruce headlines the Harley Davidson Festival in Milwaukee and blows minds with a setlist for the ages in New Jersey, but it’s his surprise appearance with Southside Johnny at The Agora in Cleveland that wins the date.
On this date: Bruce releases his third studio album, Born to Run. Plus: Little Steven fronts the E Street Band at a 2009 soundcheck, a memorable on-stage marriage proposal, and more.
As guest appearances go, Tom Waits and Sting are pretty high up there–both happened on this date. Plus: the Magic Tour wraps up in loose, eclectic style, and more.
Today in Bruce history: Bruce welcomes Max and Roy to the E Street Band and kicks off his “autobiography tour.” Plus: highlights from epic, surprise-filled shows, and more.
On this date: Mitch Ryder makes a “Detroit Medley” guest appearance, Bruce swings by the Yankees’ clubhouse, the debut of the acoustic “Countin’ on a Miracle” video, and more.
Another date chock full of events for Bruce: From a late-night Letterman appearance to surprise bar gigs to the first performances of “Book of Dreams” and “Terry’s Song” and more.
Happy birthday “Professor” Roy Bittan! Also on this date: Bruce films his first movie role, opens the Meadowlands, and plays “Jersey Girl” for the first time. Plus: CBS profiles Clarence, and Mike Appel takes legal action to stop Bruce from recording.
If Night Two in Philadelphia wasn’t longer than Night One, it certainly was looser–and that unpredictability made for a great show on a thick and humid Friday night.
