Overview

• A daylong program at Monmouth University’s Pollack Theatre closed with Springsteen performing “Thunder Road” and “Born to Run.”
• The finale brought together Steven Van Zandt, Garry Tallent, Roy Bittan, Max Weinberg, David Sancious, Ernest “Boom” Carter and saxophonist Ed Manion in a lineup that had never shared a stage in this exact form.
• Springsteen appeared on multiple panels with collaborators including managers Mike Appel and Jon Landau, engineer Jimmy Iovine and photographer Eric Meola, offering fresh anecdotes about the album’s creation.
• A free exhibition of photos from the Born to Run cover session is open to the public at Monmouth’s Rechnitz Hall DiMattio Gallery through December 18, 2025.
• The anniversary programming ties into upcoming releases and projects, including Nebraska ’82: Expanded Edition due October 17 via Columbia and the Deliver Me From Nowhere biopic set for next month.
