Bruce Springsteen performs Thunder Road from In Concert/MTV Plugged
In '85, Bruce Springsteen released 'Born in the U.S.A.,' an album that catapulted him into superstardom. Fast forward to May 18, 1992, during the 'MTV Plugged' performance, Bruce was at a pivotal point, showcasing his evolution as an artist. By then, he had already explored deeper themes with his work following 'Tunnel of Love' (1987). This live performance of 'Thunder Road' not only highlights his intense connection with audiences but also captures the raw energy he's known for. Interestingly, 'MTV Plugged' was a chance for Springsteen to strip down his sound, presenting his songs in a more intimate setting, which was quite a shift from the elaborate productions of his earlier concerts. This moment marked a significant transition in his career, reflecting his desire to connect more deeply with fans on a personal level.
