Bruce Springsteen has been on the most important tour of his career.
Not a globe-circling, stadium-packing, box-office-busting run like those of past years. But a nine-week sweep across the United States to guard the dreams and visions of a troubled nation and to prove the power of art to move hearts and minds.
“The E Street Band is here tonight,” says Springsteen, introducing these shows, “in celebration and defense of the American ideals and values that have sustained our country for 250 years.
“We are here to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock’n’roll in these dangerous times.
“Our democracy, our Constitution, our rule of law are being challenged right now as never before by a reckless, racist, incompetent, treasonous president and his ship-of-fools administration.”
He presses his case further in comments mid-show, recounting the offenses, at home and abroad, of the Trump presidency. “This is happening now,” he declares after each indictment.
The Land of Hope And Dreams Tour brings its truth to the power center of Washington D.C. on Wednesday (May 27) for a penultimate show at Nationals Park. (The D.C. show is preceded by two remaining tour stops May 22 in Cleveland and May 24 in Boston, with a finale on a rescheduled date in Philadelphia May 30).
These performances — as witnessed by this writer at the UBS Arena in Elmont, N.Y., on May 5, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on May 14 and at Manhattan’s Madison Square Garden on May 16 — find the E Street Band playing at their peak, with rolling waves of sound pounding like a storm on the Jersey coast.
But as important, every song on this tour evokes a milestone on Springsteen’s lifelong journey to this moment. The Land of Hope And Dreams Tour is, in fact, a potent distillation of Springsteen’s career and life.
It is a life that began with learning right from wrong….
