Ed Robertson Bruce Springsteen Program

1984

0.92 (Linear feet)

Bruce Springsteen (born September 23, 1949) ranks alongside such rock and roll figureheads as Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, the Beatles and Bob Dylan. Just as those artists shaped popular music, Springsteen served as a pivotal figure in its evolution with his rise to prominence in the mid-Seventies. Early on, he was touted as one of several heirs to Bob Dylan’s mantle. All of these would-be “new Dylans"-who also included Loudon Wainwright, John Prine and Elliott Murphy-rose above the hype, but Springsteen soared highest, catapulting himself to fame on the unrestrained energy of his live shows, the evocative power of his songwriting, and the direct connection he forged with his listeners.

The Ed Robertson Bruce Springsteen Program is dated 1984 and consists of one program from the Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band Born in the U.S.A. tour.
