After his 50-minute and outstanding keynote speech at SXSW (I still have to listen to the entire thing, I just know he spoke about the post-authentic world we are living in, where ‘authenticity is a house of mirrors’,… interesting!), Bruce Springsteen played a very special show with the E Street Band in an intimate venue.
According to the people who were tweeting, it was impressive, especially because of the massive finale, the Woody Guthrie cover ‘This is Your Land’ which included the participation of Arcade Fire, Tom Morello, Low Anthem, Eric Burdon, Joe Ely, Alejandro Escovedo, Jimmy Cliff and Garland Jeffreys!
