On this night in 1985 you were listening to… Bruce Springsteen

A Friday Flashback to get your weekend started…

GOOD OL’ BRUCE Springsteen (or ‘Sprin-steen’, as he tends to be called here).

He’s been rocking since 1969 and still shows no sign of stopping, the denim-wearing legend that he is.

This week, he made a visit to Ireland, where he was given an Irish passport (sort of) and played to 40,000 people at Pairc Uí Caoimh in Cork.

Glory Days is a classic Springsteen track, and reached number 3 in the Irish charts in July 1985.

Grab your air guitar from our air guitar stand, and get going…
