“FANTASTIC day at @bostoncalling rocking with dear friend @mrchuckd, supporting my alma mater @harvard’s resistance to Trump regime’s education bullying, standing up for my man @springsteen and sticking it to fascist minded fools one phat riff at a time. Authoritarians and billionaires think this country belongs to them but as Woody Guthrie reminds us, this land is your land. #GoCrimson,” he wrote.
The guitarist also posted a quote from Boston.com, which noted “The atmosphere was one of cathartic defiance,” during his May 25 set.
Morello played a medley of Rage Against the Machine’s “Testify” and “Take the Power Back,” along with “Freedom,” and “Snakecharmer,” as well as a cover of the Woody Guthrie classic “This Land Is Your Land,” according to setlist.fm.
He also brought out Chuck D to perform “Prophets of Rage,” the title song off the project of the same name that paired the two along with Morello’s Rage Against the Machine alums Brad Wilk and Tim Commerford, as well as DJ Lord and B-Real of Cypress Hill.
Also included in Morello’s set was a performance of Audioslave’s “Like a Stone,” in a tribute to the late Chris Cornell, who the guitarist collaborated with in that band, as well as covers of Bruce Springsteen’s “The Ghost of Tom Joad” and John Lennon’s “Power to the People.”
