Last year, Springsteen and The Killers released an incredible collarboation of "Dustland" which is short for "A Dustland Fairytale," a fairly popular Killers song. After "Badlands" they performed the first public performance of "Dustland."

Bruce springsteen announces new souls cover album, "only the strong survive"
Bruce Springsteen officially confirmed the rumors this morning that he has a new album coming out on November 11 titled Only The Strong Survive. This is Springsteen's take on fifteen of soul music's greats and obscurities. Springsteen released a video message today that revealed that this was a project that was worked on during the pandemic.
Bruce stated. "I wanted to make an album where I just sang. And what better music to work with than the great American songbook of the Sixties and Seventies? I've taken my inspiration from Levi Stubbs, David Ruffin, Jimmy Ruffin, the Iceman, Jerry Butler, Diana Ross, Dobie Gray, and Scott Walker, among many others. I've tried to do justice to them all-and to the fabulous writers of this glorious music. My goal is for the modern audience to experience its beauty and joy, just as I have since I first heard it. I hope you love listening to it as much as I loved making it."

Bruce Springsteen & the e street band announce first us leg of 2023 tour
It's official! We know where Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band are going to kick off the 2023 tour in February of 2023...well unless you have been following us on social media of course (wink). Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will kick off the tour on February 1st in Tampa, Florida and play through April 14 which will end things in Newark, New Jersey before heading over to Europe.
The big surprise here being that there is not one single California date on the first run of shows here in the U.S., but have no fear Cali...there is a second run that has already been stated by Bruce that will occur after Europe starting in August.
NEW ARCHIVE RELEASE: Paris 2012 Double header
A nice July surprise as we have TWO brand new archive releases from the 2012 Wrecking Ball tour. The two new shows come from the back-to-back Paris nights of July 4 and July 5. The second July 5 show is considered to be one of the best shows Springsteen has performed in the post-Reunion era.
Springsteen opened the second show with what everyone thought was going to be another "We Take Care of Our Own" opening and then counted off into "The Ties That Bind." From there, Springsteen basically threw out the setlist and rolled through six classics before going into the new mateiral that the tour was supporting. This was the first time Bruce really blew open the setlist on the tour. Both are incredible shows and I'm frankly surprised it took this long for them to get the archive release treatment. Both are avilable now at live.brucespringsteen.net. Enjoy!

Bruce Springsteen Joins Paul mccartney in new jersey
The Boss seems to have the itch to play. A couple of weeks ago he joined Coldplay when they played MetLife Stadium and now he has joined Paul McCartney. Paul introduced Bruce as a local boy and then the two busted into a full band "Glory Days." Bruce stayed on stage for "I Want To Be Your Man" and "The End," before hopping off stage. I think it is safe to say that Bruce is ready to hit the road with E Street come early February...
Bruce Springsteen Add Two More EUropean shows; sells over one million tickets so far

Bruce SPringsteen Joins Coldplay In New Jersey THis PAst Weekend
The coldplay front man, Chris Martin, stated that he couldn't believe who he was about to introduce. Being in New Jersey, it was none other than Bruce Springsteen. Springsteen equipped with his acoustic guitar stated that Chris had one of his songs tattooed on his arm so he had to play it with him. To the surprise of almost any Springsteen fan who was in attendance, the band jumped into a stripped down version of "Working on a Dream."
The band departs after the arrangement and then it becomes just Bruce with his guitar and Chris on the piano. Chris thanks Bruce for coming and then Bruce, hands raised in the air, starts singing the opening lines of "Dancing in the Dark," which triggers a great fan reaction. Check out the full video to the left!
European tour dates added
For those who have not been checking out tour dates page, Springsteen has added multiple European tour dates. See the full new itinerary below. Don't forget UK dates and Belgium dates have yet to be announced. US tour dates should be expected by the end of the summer with a start in February.

New "Born In The U.S.A." Demo From The Electric Nebraska Sessions Sees The Light of Day
Wow! Wow! Wow! That is all I can say. We have quite possibly our very first glimpse into actual recordings of Bruce Springsteen during the "electric Nebraska" sessions. It has been long rumored and hyped (and frankly now known) that Bruce Springsteen recorded his solo acoustic album, Nebraska, with the band. For those who may not know...the song "Born In The U.S.A." was actually written for Nebraska, but then sheleved for what would be the album Born In The U.S.A. This video that was posted this past week gives us a short snippet into what Springsteen was originally thinking for the song and it does not dissapoint.
The recording came from some sort of music session where guest Toby Scott was in attnednace to give a presentation. Toby Scott was Springsteen's long time sound and music engineer who obviously has had access to a ton of unreleased Springsteen material. He has now given the world the first glimpse into the potential "Electric" Nebraska recordings and it is damn beautiful. Seriously Camp Springsteen...take my money now.
The first alternate band version of "Born In The U.S.A." appears at the 23:50 mark. This is quite literally Springsteen history.
NEW ARCHIVE RELEASE: CLEVELAND 2009
We head back to the Working on a Dream tour where we get out first full performance of Born to Run from start to finish in the archive series. Noteable additions to the archive series being a rocking version of Red Headed Woman (that sounds a lot like the Johnny 99 intro) and Pink Cadillac. Plus, I don't think we can ever get enough versions of Meeting Across the River with Curt Ramm guesting on trumpet.
You can purchase the show now at live.brucespringsteen.net
Setlist: Wrecking Ball, Prove it All Night, Hungry Heart, Working on a Dream, Thunder Road, Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out, Night, Backstreets, Born to Run, She's the One, Meeting Across the River, Jungleland, Waitin' on a Sunny Day, Raise Your Hand, Red Headed Woman, Pink Cadillac, Back in Your Arms, Radio Nowhere, Lonesome Day, The Rising, Badlands, No Surrender, Bobby Jean, American Land, Dancing in the Dark, Can't Help Falling in Love, Higher and Higher, Rosalita

NEW ARCHIVE RELEASE: East Rutherford 1984
We're heading back to the Born In The U.S.A. tour and we're heading back to Jersey. The 10 night stand is one for the ages and we get another taste of the times, this time with an August 6 release. The previous night has already been released as part of the archive series. However, this show has eight different songs in the setlist including a fire version of The Rolling Stones' "Street Fighting Man." You can check out that audio clip on the side. One of the personal highlights that I'm looking forward to adding to the collection is this rendition of "Open All Night."

Bruce Springsteen Announces New Album: Letter To You
Bruce Springsteen will release his 20th studio album, Letter to You, on October 23.
This isn't the usual Springsteen announcement for a new album. This is an E STREET BAND record. The first for Springsteen since his 2007 release, Magic. Springsteen and the E Street Band recorded this album together and live in one room. This is the first time that they accomplished this when writing a new record. The big surprise comes in the new album's track listing. Letter To You will feature 12 tracks, nine of them will be newly written Springsteen songs while three have been tinkered with that date back to the 1970's. Die-hard Springsteen fans will notice these songs as: Janey Needs A Shooter, If I Was The Priest and Song For Orphans. The ladder of which was recently released as part of the archive series from the 2005 Trenton, NJ Devils and Dust show. No word if Springsteen has played and altered with the lyrics. It should also be noted that the new song "House Of A Thousand Guitars" is not a cover of the Willie Nile song with the same title.
Along with an album announcement, we also get our first listen to the new recordings that took place in late 2019. Letter To You (the single) was officially released alongside the announcement. There is an incredible video that Springsteen also released that shows him and the E Street Band in the studio recording the album. Check out the video of the single below! In addition, the three older Springsteen songs have seen the light of day from the 1970's. If you're interested to hear what they could sound like, check out those videos as well. The fact that we're getting a newly done version of Janey Needs A Shooter is just about enough for me.
Press Release
Bruce Springsteen’s new studio album with the E Street Band, Letter To You, will be released by Columbia Records on October 23. A rock album fueled by the band's heart-stopping, house-rocking signature sound, the 12 track Letter To You is Springsteen's 20th studio album, and was recorded at his home studio in New Jersey.

“I love the emotional nature of Letter To You,” says Springsteen. “And I love the sound of the E Street Band playing completely live in the studio, in a way we’ve never done before, and with no overdubs. We made the album in only five days, and it turned out to be one of the greatest recording experiences I’ve ever had.”
Letter to You includes nine recently written Springsteen songs, as well as new recordings of three of his legendary, but previously unreleased, compositions from the 1970s, “Janey Needs a Shooter,” “If I Was the Priest,” and “Song for Orphans.” Springsteen is joined on Letter To You by Roy Bittan, Nils Lofgren, Patti Scialfa, Garry Tallent, Stevie Van Zandt, Max Weinberg, Charlie Giordano and Jake Clemons. The album was produced by Ron Aniello with Bruce Springsteen, mixed by Bob Clearmountain and mastered by Bob Ludwig. Letter To You is Springsteen's first time performing with the E Street Band since The River 2016 tour, which was named the year's top global tour by both Billboard and Pollstar.
Bruce Springsteen’s recording career spans over 40 years, beginning with 1973's ‘Greetings from Asbury Park, NJ’ (Columbia Records). He has garnered 20 Grammys, won an Oscar and a Tony, been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, received a Kennedy Center Honor and was MusiCares’ 2013 Person of the Year. Springsteen’s memoir ‘Born to Run’ (Simon & Schuster) and its companion album ‘Chapter and Verse’ were released in September 2016, and he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in November 2016. His historic 236-show run of ‘Springsteen on Broadway’ at Jujamcyn’s Walter Kerr Theatre from October 2017 to December 2018 also yielded an accompanying soundtrack album and Netflix special. In 2019, Springsteen released 'Western Stars,' his first studio album in five years, and together with longtime collaborator Thom Zimny he co-directed ‘Western Stars,’ a feature film released through Warner Bros.

NEW ARCHIVE RELEASE: Philadelphia 1999
Spanish Johnny drove into Philly last night. The next show in the Springsteen archives takes us back to the Reunion tour in Philadelphia when a jaw dropping opener of "Incident On 57th Street" was played for the first time since 1980. In addition to such a rare opener and song at the time, the show strikes a nice balance between familiar songs from the tour and other such as New York City Serenade and Streets of Philadelphia. By the way...this Jungleland...perfection.
