Bruce Springsteen History
When Bruce Springsteen finally broke through to
national recognition in the fall of 1975 after a decade
of trying, critics hailed him as the savior of rock & roll,
the single artist who brought together all the
exuberance of '50s rock and the thoughtfulness of
'60s rock, molded into a '70s style. He rocked as hard
as Jerry Lee Lewis, his lyrics were as complicated as
Bob Dylan's, and his concerts were near-religious
celebrations of all that was best in music. One critic
became so enamored that he quit reviewing to
become Springsteen's manager. But the hosannas,
when piped through the publicity machine of a major
record company, were perceived as hype by a
significant part of the public as well as the
mainstream media -- Springsteen landed on the
covers of Time and Newsweek, but both magazines
were covering the phenomenon, not the music.
Springsteen's album, Born to Run, became a hit, and
he jumped to arena status as a live act, but as many
people were turned off by the press campaign as
turned on by the records and shows.

But then came Born in the U.S.A. (June 1984) and a two-year international tour. The album
threw off seven hit singles and sold over ten million copies, putting Springsteen in the pop
heavens with Michael Jackson and Prince. After touring for more than a year, he released a
five-LP/three-CD concert album, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band/Live 1975-85
(November 1986), which topped the charts.After another marathon tour, Springsteen gave the
E Street Band notice in November 1989, breaking up a celebrated unit who had stayed together
15 years. In March 1992, he simultaneously released Human Touch and Lucky Town, and
though the albums premiered near the top of the charts, they were less successful with fans
than previous efforts. In the fall, Springsteen taped an MTV Unplugged segment (though he
plugged in after one song), and the performance was released as an album in Europe in 1993.
recorded "Streets of Philadelphia" for the soundtrack to the film Philadelphia, which concerned
a lawyer dying of AIDS. The song became a Top Ten hit in 1994, winning the Academy Award
for Best Song and cleaning up at the Grammys the following year. At the same time,
Springsteen had readied his Greatest Hits album (February 1995), reassembling the E Street
Band to record a few new tracks. The album was an immediate best-seller. Springsteen
followed it with The Ghost of Tom Joad (November 1995), another low-key, downcast, near-
acoustic effort, and embarked upon a brief solo tour. In 1999, shortly after his induction into the
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Springsteen reunited with the E Street Band (including both Lofgren
and Van Zandt on guitars) and embarked on a world tour that lasted until mid-2000, its final
dates resulting in the album Live in New York City. He then made his first new full-length studio
album to feature the group as a whole since Born in the U.S.A., and his first album of new
studio recordings since The Ghost of Tom Joad, The Rising, released in July 2002. It was
followed by another tour.
