Bruce Springsteen has released a live video of his cover of Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’ featuring Tom Morello from a recent show in Minneapolis. The show was the opening night of The Boss’ ‘Land Of Hope & Dreams’ tour, which saw him reprise the ‘Purple Rain’ cover for the first time live in ten years. The setlist included a slew of covers, including The Temptations’ ‘War’, Patti Smith Group’s ‘Because The Night’, and Bob Dylan’s ‘Chimes Of Freedom’.
Springsteen’s tour has already garnered attention for its political undertones, with the musician criticizing the current administration and calling for action from the American people. The ‘Land Of Hope And Dreams’ tour will see Springsteen joined by Tom Morello at every date, with the tour set to run until May 27. Despite backlash from the White House, Springsteen has reaffirmed that the tour will be political and is prepared for the ‘blowback’.
