Bruce Springsteen

In June 2006, during the 'Seeger Sessions' tour, Bruce Springsteen performed 'Jesse James' live in Madrid with the Seeger Sessions Band. This was a notable period in Springsteen's career as he was celebrating the release of the critically acclaimed album 'We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions,' which came out a couple months earlier, in April 2006. This album marked a departure from his traditional sound, embracing American folk music and historical protest songs with a vibrant ensemble. Springsteen's performances during this era were infused with a sense of communal spirit, reminiscent of the folk revival of the 1960s. The Madrid show exemplifies his dynamic stage presence and dedication to storytelling, as he breathed new life into classic tales like 'Jesse James,' connecting deeply with the audience.
