Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band kicked off their show in Kilkenny, Ireland by paying tribute to the late Shane MacGowan.
When MacGowan died in November 2023, Springsteen penned a tribute. “Shane was one of my all-time favorite writers,” he wrote. “The passion and deep intensity of his music and lyrics is unmatched by all but the very best in the rock and roll canon. I was fortunate to spend a little time with Shane and his lovely wife Victoria the last time we were in Dublin. He was very ill, but still beautifully present in his heart and spirit. His music is timeless and eternal.
Prior to the official start of the show, Springsteen took the stage alone at 5:05 pm to reward “the early birds” with his first performance of 1995’s “This Hard Land” since 2018. There were no surprises on the scale of “A Rainy Night in Soho” and “This Hard Land” throughout the rest of the night, but the group did break out tour rarities “Adam Raised a Cain,” “Seeds,” “If I Was the Priest,” and “Land of Hope and Dreams.”Graham: Israel Should Do ‘Whatever’ They Want to Palestinians Like When U.S.
