This song is definitely about old friends, but in particular for Bruce; The E Street Band. Bruce's departure from the E Street Band in the late 80's led to the song being written. Before the album Greatest Hits was recorded in 1995, Bruce wrote Blood Brothers about being reunited with all of his friends that he hadn't worked with for a few years. It is very apparent when the lyrics are dissected and interpreted.
