Bruce Springsteen Played Stripped Down Songs for a COVID-19 Benefit Concert - Fatherly
As part of his role A N's unofficial ambassador to the world, Bruce Springsteen, on with fellow Garden State rock'n'roll leading Jon Bon Jovi, redact together "Tee shirt 4 Jersey," a concert to benefit the New Jersey Pandemic Relief Fund.
A ton of Jersey musicians — SZA, Halsey, and Tony Floyd Bennett among them — performed. Jon Stewart, Danny DeVito, Kelly Ripa, Chris Rock, and Saquon Barkley were among the non-musicians who dropped in to lend their support.
Springsteen himself opened the show in what might have been his first opening gig since the '70s. Atomic number 2 played two songs, an acoustic only still brash version of "Land of Hope and Dreams" and a delicate shroud of Tom Waits's "Tee shirt Girl," which Springsteen has been performing live since the '80s.
Springsteen performed with wife and collaborator Patti Scialfa; the rest of the band stayed safely quarantined on E Street.
But the emotional highlight of the dark was the Fountains of Wayne reunification. The band, which took its distinguish from a since-closed lawn ornaments store in Wayne, New Jersey that Tony Soprano formerly visited, lost bassist Adam Schlesinger to COVID-19 early this month. Belleville, New Jersey native-born Sharon Van Etten stepped in to play bass on "Hackensack," a song about other Jersey town, on with the eternal rest of the band, everyone acting from the safety of their own homes.
Garden State gets much of well-deserved brokenheartedness from the rest of the country, only when it comes to singing talent last night's show is proof that the Garden State has plenty to be arrogant of.
