Bruce Springsteen‘s onstage collaboration with Arcade Fire and Rage Against The Machine‘s Tom Morello at this year’s SXSW has been posted online – scroll down to the bottom of the page and click to watch.
Springsteen, who played an intimate, competition winners only show at the festival in Austin, Texas earlier this week (March 15), was also joined by The Low Anthem and Jimmy Cliff towards the end of his set, when they played a rendition of Woody Guthrie’s ‘I Ain’t Got No Home’ to mark the legendary folk singer’s 100th birthday.
The show at the Moody Theatre was Springsteen’s first since his new studio album ‘Wrecking Ball’ went to Number One in both the UK and US. He played a wealth of material from both the new LP and his hit filled back catalogue, and the gig also featured one of the first performances from the band’s late sax player Clarence Clemons’ nephew, Jake.
Speaking to the crowd about Austin and SXSW, Springsteen said: “It’s fucking crazy right now, its like some teenage music junkie’s wet dream.”
Early on in the show, he also asked the crowd: “Are we missing anyone tonight?” in reference to the late E Street Band members Clarence Clemons and Danny Federici, repeating, “If you’re here and we’re here, they’re here.”
