By all accounts Bruce's appearance on the Charlie Rose show was a treat to all Springsteen fans. Charlie Rose did an excellent job asking just the right questions and getting some honest answers. Among other things, the viewers found out that "The Promise" was left off Tracks because Bruce wasn't satisfied with the versions they had, and as for "The Fever", Bruce said he hoped to put it on a single as a b-side. Charlie Rose also tried to make Bruce reveal if there were any E Street Band touring plans, and even though Bruce didn't answer with a clear yes or no, many viewers felt it was close to a yes. On the subject of the E Street Band, Bruce talked about them in very emotional terms, belying those fans who have recently questioned his loyalty to his old band. Bruce ended the program by doing an acoustic "live in the studio" version of "Born in the USA".
