I have seen Bruce Springsteen play both with the E Street Band and on solo tours many times. Last night was different. Bruce is on a mission. The set list is carefully curated. He is holding this administration accountable in ways Congress and SCOTUS are not and he is calling them all out.
Concert scene -Tom Morello and Brice Soringsteen both dressed in black play guitar. Morello wears a ball cap and red neckerchief. Jake Clemmons in back holds his hands up during song American Skin (41 Shots).

The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York was the site of one of the deadliest industrial disasters in U.S. history. The tragedy that occurred there on March 25, 1911, marked a major turning point in labor history and helped establish modern-day workplace safety standards.
