The Boss has been all over the news recently for his deluxe reissuing of Darkness on the Edge of Town and its accompanying b-side album The Promise, so invariably he was going to hit the late night circuit. Lucky for us Jimmy Fallon somehow convinced Springsteen to be the only guest of the night last night and he performed 2 songs with a couple of regular bandmates and The Roots backing him up. The real highlight is the performance of “Because The Night”, a song that Springsteen wrote during the sessions for Darkness but left off the album and was then later made famous by Patti Smith. The guitar dueling outro is pretty much the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. Check it out below and head to The Audio Perv for the rest of the interviews/performances, continue reading...
I’m not sure why this has always been such a huge deal to people. It’s not like it was impossible to find digital music by the Beatles online, and it’s not like it was extremely difficult to rip the files from the CD’s that you or your parents probably already owned.
