Bruce Springsteen

In January 2013, Bruce Springsteen was in the midst of a significant resurgence in his career, celebrated for his live performances and deep catalog. The live recording from the Hard Rock Calling festival showcases him performing "Born In The U.S.A.," a signature song from his critically acclaimed 1984 album of the same name. At this point, Springsteen had recently released “Wrecking Ball” in 2012, which received positive reviews and was recorded shortly after a tumultuous period both personally and professionally, including the loss of his longtime friend and bandmate, Clarence Clemons. The inclusion of "Born In The U.S.A." in his live set during this concert not only serves as a highlight of his vast body of work but also symbolizes his ongoing relevance and ability to connect with audiences worldwide. This performance further exemplified his reputation as a passionate and engaging live performer, a hallmark of his career.
