Bruce Springsteen

In June 2006, Bruce Springsteen had just released his album 'We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions' earlier that same year. This vibrant collection brought to life the folk music and protest songs of Pete Seeger, showcasing a more rootsy and communal side of Springsteen, quite a departure from his rock anthems. The live recording of 'Pay Me My Money Down' reflects this shift beautifully, with rich instrumentation and an enthusiastic band, including a horn section that adds a joyful energy. Interestingly, this era saw Bruce embracing a more collaborative spirit, often bringing fans together not just for concerts, but for meaningful sing-alongs. The performance in Dublin served as a testament to his ability to engage audiences and foster a sense of community through his music, something that's become a hallmark of his career.
