About Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band
Bruce Springsteen built his reputation on stadium-sized rock songs about working people, cars, and the possibility of escape. Since the 1970s, he's been the guy who makes three-minute pop songs feel like they matter. The E Street Band became inseparable from his sound—Clarence Clemons' saxophone on "Born to Run" might be the most important horn part in rock history. His albums move between intimate storytelling ("The River," "Nebraska") and massive anthems ("Born in the U.S.A."). He's been doing four-hour shows for fifty years because he actually seems to care about the people in the room. Even when he's writing about disappointment or economic collapse, there's something defiant in it. He's neither particularly cool nor trying to be. He just showed up and made records.
Springsteen shows last until he decides to leave. The crowd sings along to every word, and the E Street Band plays like they're getting paid by the hour. Mostly standing, very sweaty, surprisingly emotional for a guy in a leather jacket playing arena rock.
Known for Born to Run, Thunder Road, Born in the U.S.A., Dancing in the Dark, The River
