Bruce Springsteen

In November 1984, Bruce Springsteen was riding high on the success of his album 'Born in the U.S.A.', which had been released earlier that same year. This album marked a pivotal moment in his career, catapulting him into worldwide fame with hits like 'Dancing in the Dark' and the titular track 'Born in the U.S.A.' The live performance of 'Trapped' at Parc de La Courneuve in Paris exemplifies his raw energy during this era, as he engaged deeply with fans amid a cultural backdrop of social unrest and economic challenges in America. Interestingly, 'Trapped' was not part of the studio album but emerged from his complex relationship with the political landscape, reflecting themes of struggle and resilience. This performance showcases Springsteen's ability to connect with audiences, making each concert feel deeply personal and unforgettable.
