Bruce Springsteen

In March 1996, Bruce Springsteen was riding high on a wave of renewed creativity, following the release of his album "The Ghost of Tom Joad" just a few months earlier in November 1995. This live performance of "Brothers Under the Bridge" at the Point Theatre in Dublin showcases his deep storytelling ability, reminiscent of the folk-inspired themes woven throughout the album. Interestingly, this period marked a significant shift in Springsteen's sound, moving towards a more introspective, acoustic approach, which resonated with fans yearning for a personal connection. During this concert, Bruce's poignant delivery not only captivates the audience but also highlights the heartfelt nature of his songwriting, directly reflecting his commitment to social and political issues, themes prevalent in his post-1980s works.
