- This is part two of Bruce Springsteen's sermon on May 14, 2025 in Manchester. The Boss is leaving nothing to misinterpretation. He is horrified at the situation in the USA and is shouting it.
00:00 - The Boss does not disappoint, opening in Montreal with a Halloween treat, Ghostbusters. Rocking the north country. Enjoy this special moment of Bruce Springsteen in Quebec, mes amis. More to come. The last great rocker still delivering. Bruuuce!🎶🕺
00:00 - To close out a dramatic first night of his European tour in Manchester on May 14, 2025, Bruce Springsteen chooses an apt composition by Bob Dylan, Chimes of Freedom, as a reminder of what the Boss has been saying all night, that freedom has a price. This is part one of the finale
00:00 - If there is still any doubt about what the Boss feels about the American regime on May 14, 2025, he blasts out Murder Incorporated to a Manchester Co-Op Live crowd. Bruce Springsteen has seldom been more blistering, leaving it all on stage as he signals that the USA is in trouble
00:00 - The mutual love of Bruce Springsteen and the rapt audience at Co-Op Live in Manchester, UK, is palpable on May 14, 2025, opening night of his European tour, as the Boss wades into the crowd for Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out, borrowing a beer and overflowing with energy. A joyous night!
00:00 - Yes, yes, yes, Bruce Springsteen has reclaimed a rocking Born in the USA to open his European tour on May 14, 2025, because he feels the crowd in Manchester can understand the darkness inside the anthem; this is part one of the great rebirth of Born in the USA. The Boss is back!
00:00 - Bruce Springsteen pulls no punches when he steps out at Co-Op Live in Manchester May 14 to open his 2025 European tour. He has some tough words for what is happening back home. The crowd goes wild for the Boss
00:00 - Still warming into his theme of taking back what is rightfully ours, the Boss knocks it out of the park in a call-and-response for My Hometown, over here in Manchester for Bruce Springsteen's 2025 tour opener on May 14, 2025. The rapt audience gets the message. They get it, amen.
00:00 - As Bruce Springsteen's heartfelt cover of Bob Dylan's Chimes of Freedom ends on May 14, 2025, the Boss bids goodbye to the opening night crowd at Co-Op Live in Manchester. With a huge embrace of Jake Clemons, nephew of Clarence--carrying on his spirit--Bruce departs. Exeunt omnes
00:00 - Despite what he feels about what's happening back home, Bruce Springsteen lets the Manchester Co-Op live audience on May 14, 2025 know he still believes in a promised land. The Boss holds the audience in his hand as they sing along. Here he paces the runway into our lens and soul
00:00 - Driving all night, Bruce summons the Ghost and brings it right through my lens. Springsteen in his glory days still.
00:00 - "We were worried but now we're scared" the Boss dedicates Rainmaker facetiously to our "Dear Leader" in shades of George Orwell's 1984. In Manchester on May 14, 2025, Bruce Springsteen calls on forces of light to counter the men in power. Who'll stop the rain? is his implicit cry
00:00 - "This is for our dear leader" shouts Bruce Springsteen in Manchester on May 14 as he bites out every blistering lyric about America's Rainmaker-in-Chief, just in case the Co-Op Live crowd, all on their feet, has any doubt about where the Boss stands as he launches his 2025 tour.
