Dream Baby Dream: Bruce Springsteen thanks the fans

As a big “Thank You!” for the outpouring of support during the Wrecking Ball tour, Bruce Springsteen has published a letter to his fans on Bruce Springsteen.net. For the “fans” who keep wondering (despite a complete lack of indications) whether Bruce’s live career was finished:

Finally, to all of you who were there along the way, we send out our mightiest and most heartfelt thanks. You have reignited in us a great passion for what we do. We’ll do our best to honor it.

Springsteen closes the letter out out with “So, until we meet again, stay hard…and we’ll see you up the road.”

This is topped off with a lovely video of fan and band highlights from the Wrecking Ball tour, set to a newly recorded version of Suicide’s “Dream Baby Dream,” which Bruce used to close out his shows on the Devils and Dust tour. Might this show up on his next album?

Thanks Bruce!
