Info

The above lyrics are for the live 25 Feb 2012 performance of SOUL MAN at The Press Room in Asbury Park, NJ, during a surprise appearance at a gig with Boccigalupe and the Badboys. The song was played in a full-band version. Only partial video footage is in circulation; the above lyrics are transcribed from that partial video.

This was a show to celebrate the life of Springsteen's longtime personal trainer Tony Strollo, who passed away on 07 Feb 2012 at age 40. After joining Tony's brother Michael for one song, Springsteen played a seven-song set backed by Boccigalupe and the Badboys.
