Bruce Springsteen Live Performance of Shackled and Drawn at Hard Rock Calling
In June 2012, Bruce Springsteen delivered a powerful live performance of 'Shackled and Drawn' at Hard Rock Calling in Newport, UK. This performance came on the heels of his critically acclaimed album 'Wrecking Ball,' released earlier that year. 'Wrecking Ball' not only showcased Springsteen's trademark storytelling but also reflected his response to the socio-economic challenges of the time, featuring themes of resilience and hope. During this live rendition, the passion and energy Springsteen exudes really connect with the audience, reminding us just how electric his live shows can be. Interestingly, 'Wrecking Ball' was his first studio album after a hiatus, and it marked a returned focus on social issues, aligning perfectly with the spirit of the live event, which celebrated the essence of community.
