Name this Bruce Springsteen song?
What is the title of the song he did with Michael Stipe in the Vote For Change Tour?
Tonights the night for lovers.
Tonights the night for us
Maybe I already posted the titel.

Patty Smith? I must have missed that one, because I thought it was 10,000 Maniacs who made that famous on Unplugged.

If by "made famous" you really mean "completely ruined", then you are correct.

I guess Hollowgen's wording confused me. He said Bruce penned it and Patti Smith made it famous. I've never heard a Patti Smith version of the song, and the Maniacs version is the one you heard on the radio all the time. I never said it was a "good" version, just the more famous one.

Bruce has been playing this since around 1978. The lyrics have changed a bunch over the years. The version he plays now is closer to the Patti Smith version than the original lyrics.

dstrauss - sort of.
There have been minor lyrical changes over the years, but it's been recognizably Bruce's lyrics. On the VFC tour, though, he performed it -- for the first time -- with the Smith lyrics. It was performed as a duet with Michael Stipe, who knew the Smith words... they went for it.
