Bruce Springsteen Dedicates 'Born to Run' to James Gandolfini

At LAT:

Actor James Gandolfini had long been a big fan of Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, and the feeling was mutual, in particular for guitarist Steve Van Zandt, who worked closely with Gandolfini on “The Sopranos” in his role as mob lieutenant Silvio Dante.

So it was no surprise when Springsteen, Van Zandt and company played “Born to Run” Thursday night at their concert in Coventry, England, and dedicated it to Gandolfini, who died Wednesday of a heart attack at age 51 while vacationing in Rome.

Not just the song, but the entire album, which the E Streeters played in its entirety in the middle of their three-hour show.

The clip's apparently from last month.
