Bruce Springsteen - 2003-06-08 - Florence, Italy (IEM Aud Matrix)

The tragic events of Sept 11, 2001 brought an outpouring of support for the city of New York from the rock and roll community. From the America: A Tribute to Heroes telethon about a week after the attack to the Concert for New York in October, rock’s biggest stars – Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Bill Joel, The Who, U2, and David Bowie, just to name a few – turned out to support the battered, but always resilient city. Few gave as much as did New Jersey’s own Bruce Springsteen. He opened the telethon with the song My City of Ruins, originally written for Asbury Park, but now transformed into “a prayer for our fallen brothers and sisters." From that tune emerged an entire album dedicated to the memory of 9-11, an album fittingly titled The Rising, because New York would not bow down to the terrorists who attempted to destroy her will. Springsteen’s work on The Rising was some of the best of his career. When the album debuted in early 2002, it went straight to #1 on the charts, with glowing reviews from the critics. Springsteen took his message of hope on the road, launching The Rising Tour on August 7, 2002, at the Meadowlands Arena in New Jersey The tour would include 120 shows in North America, Europe and Australia, and run until October 2003. This soundboard recording captures Springsteen on June 08, 2003, 11 years ago today, in Italy, during the 2nd European leg of the tour. The show also marked Bruce & Patti's 12th wedding anniversary.
