Bruce Springsteen

In June 2006, Bruce Springsteen delivered a spirited performance of "Pay Me My Money Down" at the DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston, Michigan. This recording came shortly after the release of his critically acclaimed album "The Seeger Sessions" in 2006, which was a tribute to folk legend Pete Seeger. Springsteen embraced a unique blend of folk, rock, and roots music during this era, showcasing his adaptability and deep respect for musical traditions. This live rendition captures the energy and joy that Springsteen brought to his concerts, replete with a lively band that included members of the Seeger Sessions Band, emphasizing community and shared celebration. It’s fascinating to see an artist who's known for working-class anthems like "Born to Run" delve into the sounds and stories of folk music, linking contemporary struggles with historical themes.
