Smiles
“Because the night belongs to us.”
Every time I think that Bruce Springsteen has delivered his most powerful performance to date, I’m reminded that there is always something more from the Boss.
Take this gig a few days ago on Jimmy Fallon. Springsteen took the state with Little Steven, Roy Brittan and The Roots for maybe the most powerful rendition of “Because the Night” that I’ve ever seen. There’s no one like the Boss for when you need to smile and know that everything is gonna’ be ok. |
