Springsteen In Foxboro Report From Mike McCarthy

August 4, 2008 – 7:46 pm

CRAZY FANS SPARK RARITY FEST IN FOXBOROUGH

Pushing it farther than at any show so far, a mad Boston-area fan requested and received a performance of “Little Latin Lupe Lu,” last played by Bruce Springsteen with the E Street Band in 1977, with Southside Johnny sitting in! This cover was originally recorded by The Righteous Brothers and later by the Chancellors, the Kingsmen, and Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels.
Bruce and the band also played John Fogerty’s great “Who’ll Stop The Rain” tonight.
