The Answer to a Question That Has Plagued Me For Four Decades
To wit: Why hasn't Bruce Springsteen ever covered The Easybeats "Friday on My Mind"?
It's obvious now: He was waiting till he toured Australia.
I highly recommend the 2/26 show, where he performs the entire E Street Shuffle album in sequence, complete with a string section playing on "New York City Serenade." As a bonus, you also get "Staying Alive."
Steve, you can download the show containing this song at:

He opens with "Friday."

Actually, Steve, if you like, I could send you the MP3 of "Friday."
