The O pop music blog has a great post on a Bruce Springsteen fan confronting The Boss the night before his Vancouver show, requesting one of the most obscure songs in his catalog (“None But The Brave”), and then watching Bruce and Co. perform the song the following night.
The video quality of the clip below is terrible, but the audio is great, and it’s worth a listen just to hear Springsteen perform a long lost song for the very first time alongside the E Street Band.
If people wonder why Springsteen fans idolize the man the way we do, it’s primarily because stories like this.
Thanks Jim!
That someone was Ryan White of course, and I was standing next to him, in disbelief. The Boss is some sort of superhuman, it's true, I've worshipped his lyrics & goofy gravitas since I was 8 years old. Your piece on him was excellent (but I got no prob with his Brilliant Disguise-era fashion). Thanks for not being afraid of writing smartly about rock and roll.
