CLEVELAND, Ohio – When Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band play, you can expect a communal roller-coaster: They’ll rock us, calm us, bring us back up and leave us wanting more. But above all is a sense that we’re in this together.

Songs That Shaped Us concerts are serving as the cornerstone events of the opening of the new Springsteen Center at Monmouth U.

The Songs that Shaped Us' concert, Bruce Springsteen covered songs by Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, and Southside Johnny.

Bruce Springsteen led an all-star show at the Music America concert kicking off his namesake center at Monmouth University.

First Avenue staff unveiled Bruce Springsteen’s silver star at ground level on the northwest side of the building, just a few spots down from the red George Floyd star. The reveal happened just hours before Springsteen’s concert at Target Center.

The concert marked Bon Jovi's first public performance in New Jersey since 2018.
