Springsteen raged musically, defiantly singing about community and dreams as the darkness on the edge of town takes over Main Street U.S.A.
On Sunday, Springsteen and the E Street Band played the first of their two sold-out concerts at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena. Springsteen introduced, a lament for the way things were, as a “prayer for my country.” On Wednesday, back again at the same arena, he introduced the concert-opening song as a “fighting prayer for my country,” with special emphasis on “fighting.”
But if there was a vexed, defiant vibe at work, he also sang about dreams and community, beginning with the gospel rock of). “I will provide for you, and I’ll stand by your side,” he promised. “You’ll need a good companion for this part of the ride.” He had not played the song on Sunday., he explained his reason for being on stage: “Tonight I’ll be on that hill ‘cause I can’t stop, I’ll be on that hill with everything I got / Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost.
Maesk is a mental health counsellor in Tamarac, Fla., an hour south of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort. He also attended Sunday’s concert and spent Election Day in Toronto. David Fleischer, of Vaughan, Ont., has seen Springsteen a dozen or so times. He felt the Sunday show was “amazing and fun,” but that the post-election concert was special. “It was the way Bruce didn’t have to say what everyone was thinking,” Fleischer said. “He just let the songs and the passion with which he and the band played say everything that needed to be said.”Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town
