BRUCE ROCKS BONNAROO
Sunday, June 14th, 2009“Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band came to Bonnaroo, and Bonnaroo will never be the same. Before the throng, the band played a set of classic songs, and broke out “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town” and “Growin’ Up” in the request slot midway through the show.” — brucespringsteen.net
Bruce played a three hour set he said was for “hard times.” It is unusual for him to play a festival. In fact, this is only the second such show for him and the E-street Band.
Bruce said, “We didn’t come all the way down to the beautiful Tennessee hills just to rock the house. We came down here tonight because we want to build a house. That’s right. Right here in this field. … A house of love. A house of hope.”
