Tonight, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band opened their Land of Hope & Dreams Tour. Bruce launched this run of shows with three statements about the situation in the United States, with comments preceding his songs Land of Hope and Dreams, House of a Thousand Guitars and My City of Ruins.

In an intimate performance, Bruce played "Nebraska" from start to finish for the first time ever at New Jersey’s Count Basie Theatre earlier this year — which was filmed in black and white by Thom Zimny, and is now available to rent or own: brucespringsteen.lnk.to/NebraskaLive

Having never toured behind the album, Bruce revisited these songs more than 40 years later — offering fresh insight through the subtleties of his live performance, while remaining true to the spirit of the original recordings.

Shot without an audience, and with light accompaniment from Larry Campbell and Charlie Giordano, the film is presented without narration, commentary or dialogue. “Only the voices of the characters are heard,” in Bruce's words.

Bruce and the E Street Band returned to Saturday Night Live on this day in 2015. Their performance of “The Ties That Bind” lit up both stage and screen, and the night closed on a festive note as Paul McCartney joined in for “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town” — a holiday encore for the ages.

Bruce kicked off the holiday season in a lasting way, on this day 50 years ago, performing “Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town” at C.W. Post during the “Born to Run” tour — a bit of concert magic that grew into the holiday tradition we know today.

Happy Holidays from everyone on E Street!

The "Wrecking Ball" tour returned to Europe in 2013 with renewed vigor and a spirit of adventurousness clearly evident at the second show in Turku. Bruce opened the show with an acoustic "I'll Work for Your Love" from "Magic" — the first of several special additions...

...including 1 of only 4 performances of the endearing "Darkness" outtake "Ain't Good Enough for You" — and even more remarkably, the sole live appearance to date of "Wages of Sin," originally recorded during the "Born In The U.S.A." sessions. Listen now: nugs.net/brucespringsteen
