Tunnel of Love (29)
Classic all-star Hall of Fame team-ups lead the highlights from this date in Springsteen history.
On this date in Springsteen history: Watch a full Light of Day performance, plus the premiere of the video for “Tunnel of Love.”
Oakland ’07 was a solid early-tour outing with a fantastic main set (if a lackluster encore)–and it was my last show with Danny Federici.
A lovely acoustic cover by a mystery band. Anyone know anything about them?
“If I Should Fall Behind” is an enduring favorite that continuously grows, changes, and evolves like the best and strongest of relationships.
“Valentine’s Day” is a powerful counterpoint to “The River.” It may even be a sequel.
Melodically warm but lyrically icy, “When You’re Alone” is (appropriately) one of the least played songs on Tunnel of Love.
“One Step Up” is one of Bruce’s finest moments as singer, songwriter, and actor. It’s a brutally honest, self-aware inner dialogue of a man about to stray, and it gave rise to one of the most emotional performances I’ve ever seen live.
“Brilliant Disguise” is a nakedly intimate, exquisitely written, and intensely performed exploration of self-doubt and the mysteries and insecurities of relationships.
