September 1979 — Madison Square Garden, NYC.
Jungleland — No Nukes.
Bruce and the E Street Band at full power… and then Clarence takes over.
That sax solo.
For a few minutes, Madison Square Garden belongs entirely to the Big Man. 🎷❤️
Some performances don’t need much explanation.

At the 9/11 Memorial in New York, Bruce Springsteen performed I’ll See You in My Dreams.
Just his voice, a guitar, and a song for those we lost — and those who still carry their memory.
I’ll see you in my dreams. 🕊️
Bruce Springsteen tells Rolling Stone he has a couple of new albums on the way:
"I did finish one, and it is done. I’m in the process of working on this other one, which, because of the nature of the material, felt like it should come out first."

When you listen to Born to Run today, it feels inevitable — as if the song had always existed and simply couldn’t have sounded any other way.
And yet.
Bruce spent nearly six months working on this one song. He knew the sound he wanted — something huge, romantic, almost cinematic — but getting what he heard in his head onto tape became an obsession.
At 914 Sound Studios, they recorded, started over and piled on the overdubs: guitars, piano, organ, glockenspiel, saxophone, vocals… layer upon layer, searching for Bruce’s own version of the Wall of Sound.
Six months. For one song.
And when it was finally finished, Bruce hadn’t simply created the song that would give the album its name.
He had found the sound that would change his life… and ours.
Born to Run — Phoenix, 1978.

On July 27, 2012, during the first of two nights at Ullevi, Bruce Springsteen delivered a deeply moving version of “Drive All Night.”
Jake Clemons’ sax solos already hinted at what the historic “Jungleland” the following night would confirm: the legacy was in safe hands.
Heart and soul.

Just two days after Prince’s death, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band opened their Brooklyn show with “Purple Rain.”
The arena turned purple, and Nils Lofgren delivered a magnificent guitar solo worthy of the moment.
A beautiful farewell from one legend to another. 💜

Bruce Springsteen at Hard Rock Calling, London.
Right in the middle of the Wrecking Ball tour, he unleashes a Born in the U.S.A. sequence so massive that even the fish and chips stopped frying to listen: Cover Me, Darlington County, Downbound Train, I’m On Fire, No Surrender, Bobby Jean, I’m Goin’ Down, Glory Days, Dancing in the Dark, My Hometown.
Suffice it to say, London took a hit… and it took several cups of tea to recover.
On June 29, 1985, Bruce Springsteen began his two-night stand at La Courneuve, near Paris.
It was the final French stop of the Born in the U.S.A. Tour, after Montpellier and Saint-Étienne.
Bruce at full stadium power, in front of a massive French crowd.
On this day in 2019, Bruce Springsteen released 'Western Stars,' his 19th studio album and 20th top 10 record. Inspired by the lush sounds of 1970s Southern California pop, it revealed a different side of The Boss: reflective, cinematic, and beautifully weathered.
The Red Sox thinking Alex Cora is the problem is mind blowing to me. All they do is get rid of their best guys, Betts, Devers, Bregman, Cora. It’s a beautiful thing
