Bruce Springsteen

In the fall of 2005, when Bruce Springsteen performed 'Adam Raised a Cain' at the Wachovia Spectrum in Philadelphia, he was in the midst of his critically acclaimed 'Devils & Dust' tour. This live recording captures a raw and powerful moment—one of only four times he played this particular song during the tour. It showcased not only his incredible vocal delivery but also his ability to connect with the audience on a deep emotional level, a hallmark of his performances. At this stage in his career, Springsteen was reflecting on themes of personal struggle and resilience, which resonated widely during the post-9/11 era. Interestingly, 'Devils & Dust' was released earlier that year and marked a more introspective phase in his music, leading fans to see a different side of 'The Boss'—one that was poignant yet gritty, perfectly encapsulating the times.
