Summertime In Stockholm










Ever popular in Sweden, and moving to the Capital for 3 sold out shows to a combimed crowd of over 110,000 people. The shows have been eagerly awaited for months, as Springsteen continues to add to his 'legendary' status in Sweden, and Scandinavia as a whole. Stockholm is the only city that will get 3 shows, played in the setting of the 1954 Olympic Games. Differing weather on all 3 nights, but stellar shows none the less.

The show itself was, of course, predictably awesome, from a rambling mid-set Bruce speech about “building a house of love” to the passing of the mike to a couple of adorable front-row moppets who, terrified, still managed to squeak out a few lines of “Waitin’ on a Sunny Day.” Amos Barshed New York Entertainment

Thirty-four years after the "Born to Run" masterpiece, Springsteen remains a virtuoso whose energy and passion throttles through the E-Street Band's erupting thunder of twists, turns, screeching stops and soaring starts to paint a kaleidoscope of unmistakable images connected through emotional prosody.

Celebrating Pete Seeger at 90 years young.


Bruce Springsteen has performed at a special concert for Legendary Folk/protest Singer Pete Seeger who is 90 years old. The Clearwater Concert held at the Madison Square Garden featured a range of artists coming together to pay tribute to the life of one of music's most inspiring and influential artists.

Springsteen spoke of the folk legend's "stubborn, nasty, defiant optimism," and of Seeger as "the stealth dagger through the heart of our country's illusions about itself." Springsteen talked about his own youth, growing up in a town that endured race riots, and how times have changed: "Pete, you outlasted the bastards, man." He spoke about "We Shall Overcome," which he said Seeger moved from an anthem of the labor movement to one of the civil rights movement, and he described preparing for their duet on "This Land is Your Land" at the Inauguration, when Pete said: "I know I want to sing all the verses—all the ones that Woody wrote, even the two that usually get left out." Bruce summed up: "He sings all the verses, all the time—especially the ones we'd like to leave out of our history as a people."


Pete's gonna come out," Bruce added, "He's gonna look like your granddad—if your granddad could kick your ass." But first, a performance from the Boss. Tom Morello joined him for "The Ghost of Tom Joad," on acoustics this time, trading verses and harmonizing on the chorus. It was a very energetic performance, clearly benefiting from their recent collaborations on the song with the E Street Band. After that, the stage filled with the night's artists for a grand finale. Seeger returned to the stage, and Patti Scialfa came out, too, for "This Land is Your Land." Tao Rodriguez-Seeger, Pete's grandson, led the throng through "Well May the World Go." Bruce was on guitar for "This Little Light of Mine," and joined in at the mic for the show-closing "Goodnight Irene." John Seeger, Pete's older brother, had one last birthday wish: "If I'm 95"—and he is—Pete's gonna live to be 100!

Still, they got the essential Springsteen message across - that we just might get through these hard times together, if we continue to believe in an America where, as "Land of Hope and Dreams" puts it, "dreams will not be thwarted" and "faith will be rewarded."
