Bruce Springsteen - Street Musician



Been on a Springsteen kick and found this on YouTube awhile back. The story is that he was walking to the giant soccer stadium he was going to play that night (in 1988 in Copenhagen, right at the peak of his popularity), and came upon a street musician playing his tunes. The moment struck him and he played three songs for the crowd that gathered, with the street musician (JoJo) on backing vocals and rhythm guitar.

You don't see this kind of thing happen too much, and I just thought it was pretty cool. Nice tune too. "The River" was stuck in my head all day yesterday and that's what brought this back up in my mind.
