Bruce Springsteen

On October 16, 2002, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band performed 'Land of Hope and Dreams' at Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona, during the energetic early stages of The Rising Tour. This tour was in support of his album 'The Rising,' released just two months prior, marking a significant return for Springsteen after a seven-year hiatus from recording with the E Street Band. The album was a poignant response to the post-9/11 landscape, aiming to inspire and uplift. Fun fact: 'Land of Hope and Dreams' didn’t appear on 'The Rising' album but was a staple of his live sets, showcasing the band’s dynamic energy and the iconic bond between Springsteen and his audience. This concert encapsulated a powerful moment in his career, as he reignited the spirit of his band and the enduring connection with fans.
