Bruce Springsteen

In this captivating live performance, Bruce Springsteen delivered 'Used Cars' on September 11, 2005, at the Wachovia Spectrum in Philadelphia. This particular rendition held special significance as it was part of the 'Devils & Dust' tour, supporting the studio album of the same name released just a few months earlier in April 2005. 'Devils & Dust' marked a notable shift in Springsteen's career, showcasing a more introspective side through storytelling and a stripped-down sound. Interestingly, 'Used Cars' is a lesser-played gem, appearing only a couple of times during this tour, making this performance even more of a treasure for fans. The choice of date, just a few years after 9/11, adds a poignant layer to the performance, as Springsteen often channels the emotional landscape of America in his work. This moment is an evocative blend of nostalgia and reflection, truly a testament to his artistic depth.
