my city of ruins Bruce Springsteen Mtv VMAs New York 2002

August 29 / New York, NY / Rose Center
Notes: Not a tour stop per se, but a suprisingly long set in NYC, despite the rain. Introduced by James Gandolfini, Springsteen and the E Street Band opened this year's Video Music Awards with a live performance of "The Rising." Bruce's VMA opening was broadcast from the Rose Center for Earth and Space, the Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History. The MTV cameras then took the proceedings to Radio City Music Hall, but fans who endured the rain at the planetarium were treated to half of a typical Rising show. Bruce and the band began the evening's hour-and-15-minute performance with two takes of The Rising-- one to warm up, followed by one for the cameras--and that was in addition to running through the song several times at the afternoon soundcheck.
Setlist: The Rising/The Rising/Lonesome Day/Waitin' on a Sunny Day/Darkness on the Edge of Town/Mary's Place/Thunder Road/My City of Ruins/Dancing in the Dark/Ramrod/Born to Run

I found this video just a few days after Haiti was struck by the earthquake.

It's a fitting anthem for the people suffering there.

This piece not only shows you the compassion and relenanvcy of Bruce the song writer but each member of the mighty E Street Band. RIP Danny and The Big man. You are missed already and there isn't even a tour or new record out yet.....

LOVE THIS!!! Not often you hear it with a Clemons sax solo. RIP to the Big Man. He will most definitely be missed.

This song has become the song of my city after our devastating earthquake last week, which has killed 160 people and raising. Christchurch New Zealand.

あの忌まわしい出来事を我々は忘れてはならない。悲しみや怒りを­胸に生きていかねばならない。それが我々に出来る唯一の事なのだ­。

「My City Of Ruins」あまりも重い、重い唄である。
