Bruce Springsteen

In April 2006, during a time of artistic resurgence, Bruce Springsteen performed 'Jacob's Ladder' live at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. This performance came shortly after the release of his critically acclaimed album, 'The Rising' (2002) and before 'We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions' (2006), which showcased his engagement with American folk music. Interestingly, the festival was a celebration of New Orleans' vibrant culture, and Springsteen's presence highlighted his support for the city post-Hurricane Katrina, aligning with his deep-rooted sense of social activism. The energy in his performance encapsulated a moment where he not only delivered powerful music, but also infused it with messages of resilience and hope, making the show a memorable highlight in his extensive career.
