The perfect holiday gift for the Bruce Springsteen fan in your life may end up costing you more than a ticket to see one of his shows in 2024.
Photographer Lynn Goldsmith, who dated Bruce in the '70s, has documented his Darkness on The Edge of Town era in a new book, which is being published this month. Because Goldsmith had inside access to Bruce and the E Street Band, she was able to capture him and the band in intimate moments, as well as moments when they, as Goldsmith writes, "left everything on the stage to create a musical performance that suggested the failures and glories of being human.”
Springsteen writes in the book's foreword, “These photos remain a record of a time when I truly played for my life, night after night.”
The lavish, 364-page hardcover book is a limited edition of only 1,978 copies, each numbered and signed by Goldsmith. You can order it now, but the bad news is that it costs $750.
