Bruce Springsteen: The Seeger Sessions Live at St. Luke's

Overview

BBC Four presents a special performance by Bruce Springsteen from LSO St Luke's in London's East End, an intimate backdrop for a superstar rocker more used to arena-sized venues. But fans of older works like Born to Run will find the venue switch dovetails nicely with a change in musical style. The Boss performs songs from his new album, We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions, which consists of folk standards and spirituals popularised by the American folk legend, Pete Seeger. According to the bbc.co.uk/music album review, it's 'a fine example of a contemporary artist taking great delight in collaborating with crack musicians and mining his country's songwriting past.' Set list: John Henry, Oh Mary Don't You Weep, How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live?, Mrs McGrath, My Oklahoma Home, Jacob's Ladder, We Shall Overcome, Pay Me My Money Down.
