Bruce Springsteen - Fire


Bruce is back in town for 3 shows @ Stockholms Stadion.
The building of the area and the stage started already 2 days ago.
Bruce will perfom tomorrow, friday and sunday and having a day off with some activitys on saturday. This time he has his E-Street Band with both his wife and Nils Lofgren. So for some days we will celebrate the Boss with some tunes here @ Tune Of The Day even if im not a big fan of the guy but the hole town has Bruce fever atm. Its a pity that i forgot the camera yesterday else i could have shown some pictures from the area and stage, well perhaps in the end of this week.

Todays tune "Fire" is a song written by Bruce and originally intended for use by Elvis Presley. It was recorded first by Robert Gordon during 1978, and he received some modest album-oriented rock radio broadcasting with it.

It was then recorded and released by The Pointer Sisters later during 1978, and they gained a major success from it.

Springsteen release his own recording of the song on his 1986 Live/1975-85 album, which contains his (edited version) December 16, 1978 performance.

A cover version of "Fire" was recorded by Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and Des'ree for the soundtrack of the 1998 motion picture Hav Plenty.

Cher performed the song on the "Love Hurts Tour" in 1992.




More Bruce stuff tomorrow.
