Its not often Bruce Springsteen performs his songs in the live envoirnment on piano but here are some of the best ever giving some songs a quite different perspective.

“Thanks, I’ll do a song I haven’t, I think I’ve played it on this tour, I’ve given it a rest for a while, some of those old bastards need that, you know how it is, they need a rest, but I wanna play this one tonight for a special friend of mine, J.J, if you’re, I hope you’re still here (J.J: “I’m here”) oh, alright, this is for you, my, my, my good friend…..”

According to Backstreets Magazine, J.J is a young man who is battling leukemia and who met Bruce before the show and was present at the soundcheck.

Beginning with 2014 “High Hopes” tour shows Bruce Springsteen has launched an archival concert download service where fans can obtain full length concert shows as performed on the day.
The first in a series of releases from the Bruce Springsteen Archives was the launch of the Wrecking Ball tour, A show recorded at the Apollo Theater, New York, on March 9, 2012. The show has been mixed by Bob Clearmountain.
Currently, the site is offering downloads of most shows from the 2014 High Hopes Tour including a complete performance of Born To Run from a recent show in New Zealand. The shows are available via MP3 lossless, HD-Audio and CD set.
The new site launches today with the expanded re-release of 30 concerts recorded on this year’s High Hopes tour, plus the first in a collectors’ dream come true: a planned series of vault releases that kicks off with the Apollo Theater, New York, NY, March 9, 2012
The High Hopes shows were available for a limited time through Springsteen’s Live Nation store before being closed down at the end of June. The new release adds key additional formats including three-CD sets and high-resolution, 24-bit downloads, as well as MP3s and lossless, CD-quality downloads.

The return of the High Hopes shows in superior quality (and on CD), the promise of even better live downloads on future tours and the official release of

Why was the Apollo chosen as the inaugural release? “Frankly, when you’re fortunate enough to sign a deal with Bruce Springsteen,” Serling says with a laugh, “you don’t really argue with his choice for the first release from his archives! What I’ve found with any actively touring artist, big or small, is that recent always trumps older in the artist’s mind.  There’s an afterglow of big moments in the near-rear-view mirror that are more meaningful to them than the glories of the distant past.”
The Apollo show is all great news, but what many fans most eagerly anticipate is the potential of true vault releases.

According to a report on Rolling Stone, this series was put together by nugs.net, who have previously worked with Pearl Jam and Metallica on their own live downloads.The company’s CEO Brad Sterling indicated that future archival download releases are likely to include classic shows from the 1970s. With recent CD live sets surfacing through Amazon this is a welcome series for any Bruce Fans whose live shows are legendary.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN and the E.STREET BAND – ” Jungleland ” Live Uncasville 18th May 2014

“Jungleland” is an almost ten-minute long closing song on Bruce Springsteen‘s 1975 album Born to Run, and tells a tale of love amid a backdrop of gang violence. It contains one of E Street Band saxophonist Clarence Clemons‘ most recognizable solos. It also features short-time E Streeter Suki Lahav, who performs the delicate 23-note violin introduction to the song, accompanied Roy Bittan on piano in the opening.The song in its lyrics mirrors the pattern of the entire Born to Run album, beginning with a sense of desperate hope that slides slowly into despair and defeat. The song opens with the “Rat” “driving his sleek machine/over the Jersey state line” and meeting up with the “Barefoot Girl,” with whom he “takes a stab at romance and disappears down Flamingo Lane.” The song then begins to portray some of the scenes of the city and gang life in which the “Rat” is involved, with occasional references to the gang’s conflict with the police. The last two stanzas, coming after Clemons’ extended solo, describe the final fall of the “Rat” and the death of both his dreams, which “gun him down” in the “tunnels uptown,” and the love between him and the “Barefoot Girl.” The song ends with a description of the apathy towards the semi-tragic fall of the “Rat” and the lack of impact his death had- “No one watches as the ambulance pulls away/Or as the girl shuts out the bedroom light,” “Man the poets down here don’t write nothin’ at all/They just stand back and let it all be.”

This was a self-consciously patriotic event, but Springsteen’s set list wasn’t exactly a jingoistic affair. Along with Dave Grohl and Zac Brown, Springsteen covered Creedence Clearwater Revival’s 1969 song “Fortunate Son,” an angry song in which a soldier lashes out at those who avoided the Vietnam draft through family connections.
