BRUCE JUICE in JUNGLELAND
On the back of Stevie van Zandt’s congratulations to Bruce Juice for the band’s love, dedication and commitment to the essence of the E Street Band, playing so many of the early 1970s classics as well as a wide range of the rarer tracks, the band has now brought out a unique arrangement of Jungleland https://youtu.be/5InyM-7UYeI
This arrangement by Bruce Juice is based on the various early live performances of this legendary classic in 1974 and early 1975 by the E Street Band, with an alternative studio intro section as well.
For the story of Jungleland click here. This is a journey through Springsteen’s songwriting around the time of Jungleland, the emergence of the song, early live renditions, varying arrangements, final studio production, and the 2026 Bruce Juice arrangement.
In live performances, Bruce Juice stands out in its continued dedication to performing many of the early ‘70s and rarer compositions alongside all the greatest hits, featuring songs from several of The Boss’s greatest albums and legendary gigs.
Our gigs also feature specific arrangements from the original E Street 7-piece set up and combine the album songs with out-takes from those studio sessions with songs which also featured on that particular tour.
In addition, Bruce Juice continues to perform for 3 hours live at almost every gig, aiming to deliver the full E Street experience for all Spring-Nuts / E Street Fans.
Perhaps the most favourable reviews about Bruce Juice gigs, is that the band does not perform the standard or album version of each song.
Every song has been thoroughly researched to uncover the very best live arrangement, specific to legendary Springsteen gigs, whether it is from the Bottom Line, Passaic, Winterland, the Main Point, Tempe or Hammersmith.
This is an attempt by this band to deliver just a glimpse of what it must have been like to feel just of bit of those original live arrangements up close and personal from those small venues before stadia-mania.
Already building up a strong reputation as the most dynamic Springsteen tribute in the UK, Bruce Juice comes with a high-energy live performance designed to capture the unique E Street Band sound. You will go away with a healthy injection of Bruce Juice and an energetic E-Street experience!
