Bruce's legendary New Year's Eve 1975 performance got the 50th anniversary upgrade it deserves, newly remixed from Plangent Processed 16-track master tapes recorded by Jimmy Iovine. Listen now: nugs.net/brucespringsteen 🎨: Michelle Holme

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

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.

Over here, we’re deeply saddened by the loss of Joe Ely, a singular American singer, great musician and great artist...

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... 📸: Jo Lopez

Bruce played his first show overseas on this day 50 years ago, in London. The music he and the E Street Band performed — later released as "Hammersmith Odeon, London ’75" — struck different notes: bold, confident and unmistakably ready for the world, prepared by years of rough gigs.

On this special day, we honor Ray and Walter Cichon as well as Bart Haynes, drummer of the Castiles, to whom "The Wall" is dedicated.

The 2007 tour saw Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band getting back to what they do best, supporting an excellent new album. The Oakland show on Oct. 26, 2007 offers outstanding performances of eight tracks from "Magic" in a tight, 23-song set... 📸: Danny Clinch

Leaving behind what he called a “season of obscurity,” Bruce landed on the covers of Time and Newsweek. That feat, a twin billing typically reserved for presidents and heavyweights, helped introduce him to a national audience 50 years ago this week.

"The River" became a two-record set, crafted to feel “like life or an E Street Band show,” as Bruce said. Released 45 years ago tomorrow, "The River" still sounds like what Bruce was searching for: a record big enough to hold it all.

Bruce played the recording of “Born to Run” on Philadelphia’s WMMR in November 1974, its radio debut. 50 years ago this week, the song that still ties it all together cracked the Billboard Top 40 at No. 30, a watershed moment as Bruce’s music reached a national audience for the first time.

Due to delays in production, the release date for “Nebraska ’82: Expanded Edition” will be shifted back by one week. The set will now be available in all digital and physical formats on Oct. 24, 2025.

The Born in the U.S.A. tour ended at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum with a grand finale, underscoring the musical and thematic range of Bruce's work in the 1980s...

Bruce's idea was to record demos for the next E Street Band album. But at home in New Jersey, singing into a 4-track cassette machine, he captured something far more complete — stark, vivid songs that didn’t call for anything beyond his voice and instrumentation.

"I knew that the way to do it was no audience and no speaking… You just present the record, play it through, then you're done." Just as the "Nebraska" album had been created in isolation, so too would this recording — inside an empty Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, New Jersey.

"I’ve written a lot of other narrative records, but there's just something about that batch of songs on 'Nebraska' that holds some sort of magic." –Bruce Springsteen Pre-order "Nebraska '82: Expanded Edition: brucespringsteen.lnk.to/Nebraska82EE

“I’m Goin’ Down” was released as a single on this day in 1985. With a sharp backbeat and bar-band sensibility, it’s one of the most rhythmically playful tunes on "Born in the U.S.A." — with the E Street Band turning heartbreak into something you can move to.

Reflecting on the making of "Born to Run," in 2009, Bruce told James Henke, “The sound I heard in my head was not one that was physically reproducible.” Undeterred, he took six months to record the title track — and guided Clarence Clemons’ iconic solo on “Jungleland,” singing it phrase by phrase.

To commemorate the upcoming 50th anniversary of “Born to Run,” a rare 1975 outtake from the album's legendary sessions is now available in full studio quality as it has never been heard before.
