Opening their Land of Hope and Dreams tour in Minneapolis last week (March 31), Bruce Springsteen, the E Street Band, and special guest Tom Morello honored hometown legend Prince with a faithful cover of “Purple Rain.” Fan recordings proliferated, and now, that performance has been immortalized—as much as anything on the internet can be—with an official video. The Boss’ anti-ICE anthem “Streets of Minneapolis,” along with its introductory spoken-word missive, got the same treatment. Check out the pair of them below.
The Land of Hope and Dreams tour continues across U.S. arenas this month, with East Coast dates carrying the band through to late May. The latest in a string of archival Bruce releases was October’s Nebraska ’82: Expanded Edition.
Revisit Pitchfork’s rundown of The 200 Best Songs of the 1980s, with “Purple Rain” at the summit and a pair of Springsteen tracks for good measure.
