Bruce Springsteen, street performance 1988 5 January 10

I came across this link via www.greasylake.org on twitter. Here is a quote from that entry, and the video:

Thanks to a resolute guy with a camera (legend has it he bought the camera on the spot), this performance has been immortalized to Bruce fans everywhere. This is what happened: Bruce was in Copenhagen for another stop of his Tunnel of Love Express Tour. Two nights before the show, street musician John Magnusson and his partner were playing on Copenhagen’s main pedestrian street when he saw Springsteen walk by. He called out to him and asked if he would join. Bruce obliged, borrowed a guitar from Magnusson’s partner and did three songs: “I’m on Fire”, “The River”, and “Dancing in the Dark”. The whole thing of course attracted a major crowd. Perhaps realizing it would end up in chaos, Bruce slipped through the crowd after about 15 minutes and disappeared into the Copenhagen summer night.
