Apparently this is a clip from 20 years ago in Copenhagen. According to a Danish newspaper (and Danish TV stations) he just happened to pass by carrying his guitar, and he heard his song. He then joined in. If it's true then it's awesome. If it's not true then it's still awesome.

I live in Copenhagen and, while I did not witness this performance, the story of it is widely told here so I think it is true. I didn't know there was a video though! I definitely recognize both Bruce Springsteen and the street ( Strøget, the down-town pedestrian mall).

Nice one. Cheers waznat!

That busker must've retired after this. How would you carry on without The Boss?

Bruce Springsteen actually lives in out-of-focus areas like bigfoot. It's a widely believed fact!

This is way cool.
