Bruce Springsteen

In June 2003, Bruce Springsteen performed live at Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg, Sweden, delivering a vibrant rendition of 'Jackson Cage.' This performance came shortly after the release of his album 'The Rising' (2002), a significant work following the tragedy of 9/11. 'The Rising' marked a revival in Springsteen's career, re-establishing him as a powerful storyteller through music. The album, with its themes of resilience and hope, resonated with many, and 'Jackson Cage' reflects that narrative of struggle and perseverance. Interestingly, this live recording showcases the chemistry of Springsteen with the E Street Band, which has long been celebrated for their electrifying performances. Fans were especially eager, as the 2003 tour was a triumphant return for the band after several years off the road. Could there be a better backdrop for such a soul-stirring performance than the historic Ullevi Stadium?
