Bruce covered the song 72 times and used it 28 times as a snippet:
During the Devils & Dust Solo Acoustic Tour, Springsteen played his modified version of Suicide's Dream Baby Dream on the pump organ with synthesizer in the background played by his keyboard technician Alan "Fitz" Fitzgerald. At the end of the song, he just stands up, focuses the mantra directly at the crowd before him, "I just wanna see you smile", and then walks off the stage while singing the last line, with the synthesizer still playing and the lights dimming. Springsteen recorded Dream baby dream in studio in 2013 and included it on his 2014 album High Hopes. The album version is very similar to the 2005 live version but features additional instruments (including Tom Morello on guitar) and choral voices towards the end. In a December 2013 interview for Rolling Stone, Ron Aniello told Andy Greene that Springsteen played him Dream baby dream and said it was an experience more than anything at the end of his Devils & Dust Solo Acoustic Tour shows. "It took a lot to get that experience on a record for him. We had to do that song probably 10 times – different versions of it – until he was satisfied it was the right version." The album version was produced by Ron Aniello with Bruce Springsteen.
On 10 Oct 2013, Springsteen posted a personal thank you note to his fans on his official website. A video was simultaneously posted on his website and his YouTube channel commemorating the 18-month/133-date long Wrecking Ball Tour which concluded the previous month. The video features highlights from the tour edited by Thom Zimny and is set to the new 2013 studio recording of Dream baby dream mixed by Bob Clearmountain. According to Zimny, work on the video began before the Wrecking Ball Tour ended. He initially cut footage for the video using the live 28 Oct 2005 version of Dream baby dream but shortly thereafter he received a copy of the new studio version which, as he later explained, took the editing of the video to another place. Seasick Steve appears in the video; he was watching Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band's 28 May 2012 show in Landgraaf, The Netherlands, during Pinkpop Festival. The American blues musician was on that day's bill which was headlined by Springsteen and the band.

Stand Up For Heroes is an annual benefit organized by the Bob
Woodruff Foundation to raise money for injured U.S. servicemen,
veterans, and their families. Robert "Bob" Warren Woodruff is an
American television journalist. He was the newly appointed co-anchor of
ABC World News Tonight when on 29 Jan 2006, while reporting on U.S. and
Iraqi security forces in Iraq, he was critically injured by a roadside
bomb that struck his vehicle. He suffered a traumatic brain injury and
spent 36 days in a medically induced coma. He was not expected to
survive, but he recovered and started the Bob Woodruff Foundation, a
non-profit helping other Americans who were similarly wounded in
war. Bruce Springsteen has been appearing on all the annual benefits
since they started in 2007, playing a handful of songs each time and
offering for auction one of his guitars or motorcycles to benefit the
foundation.
