Hi-Def Footage: Springsteen Opens with “Purple Rain” in Brooklyn
Bruce Springsteen opened his sold-out show in Brooklyn Saturday night with a blistering cover of Prince’s “Purple Rain” – a high-drama, high-emotion performance that left many in the audience misty.
Every member of the band wore something purple in honor of the beloved late artist, who died April 21st at the age of 57.
Although Bruce does a first-rate job with the vocals, the highlight may be the ripping solo from E Street guitarist Nils Lofgren (check the video at 3:41). At the close of the song Bruce uttered, “Prince forever. God Bless.”
The Boss went on to pay heartfelt tribute to the iconic pop artist who meant so much to so many:
Tonight we want to dedicate our show to Prince of course. There’s never been any better, there’s never been any better. Bandleader, showman, songwriter, arranger. Whenever I would catch one of his shows I would always leave humbled. I’m going to miss that and we’re going to miss that.
Springsteen was clearly emotional, and the entire show seemed to have a firm undercurrent of mortality. Simply put, Bruce was on fire.
Here’s a multi-cam mix. Enjoy! And may Prince rest in peace.
