"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.

“The River” reframed as a song of acceptance and reconciliation, a hard-hitting cover of Edwin Starr’s “War” and a solemn acoustic “This Land Is Your Land.”

On this day 40 years ago, “Glory Days” brought the curtain down — a fitting farewell to the tour, the album and the peak of The E Street Band's classic era.

Studio sessions couldn’t match the feel of the cassette versions. “This is it,” Bruce finally declared, delivering "Nebraska" exactly as he’d taped it: haunting, spare and enduring — released on this day in 1982.

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.
