Bruce Springsteen live performance of Across the Border at Dane County Arena

Venue: Alliant Energy Center Location: Madison, Wisconsin, United States Date: October 15, 2005

In October 2005, Bruce Springsteen delivered a powerful live performance at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wisconsin, showcasing his deep connection to storytelling through music. This recording features 'Across the Border,' a track from his album 'The Rising,' which was released in 2002 and marked a poignant return after a brief hiatus. At this point in his career, Springsteen was fully immersed in themes of resilience and hope, reflecting the sentiments of post-9/11 America. Interestingly, 'Across the Border' is one of those rare gems, played only a handful of times live, adding an electrifying air to this particular concert. The audience could feel the weight of his lyrics and the sincerity behind them, making it yet another memorable moment in Springsteen's illustrious journey.
