\u201cTogether, Bruce, the E Street Band, and I are going to turn a spotlight on the current threats to democracy and human rights happening all around us,” says Morello\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tBruce Springsteen<\/a> and the E Street Band will be joined by Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello<\/a> at every stop of their upcoming Land of Hope and Dreams U.S. arena tour<\/a> for \u201cselected songs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe news comes just weeks after Springsteen was the surprise guest at Morello\u2019s Defend Minnesota: A Concert of Solidarity and Resistance<\/a> at First Avenue where they performed \u201cThe Ghost of Tom Joad\u201d together. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI was reminded how important our platform is, and how crucial the resistance work is that our music can do together at this dangerous historical juncture,\u201d Morello said in a statement. \u201cTogether, Bruce, the E Street Band, and I are going to turn a spotlight on the current threats to democracy and human rights happening all around us on the \u2018Land of Hope & Dreams American Tour\u2019 in the spirit of freedom, justice and rock n roll.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tRage Against the Machine began playing \u201cThe Ghost of Tom Joad\u201d onstage in 1997, and they recorded it three years later for their covers LP Renegades. In 2008, Morello joined Springsteen and the E Street Band to play the song at a show in Anaheim, California. It was the start of a musical bond between Springsteen and Morello that culminated in a 2013 E Street Band tour where Morello filled in for Steve Van Zandt, who was busy filming a new season of his show Lilyhammer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring the tour, Morello contributed to several tracks on Springsteen\u2019s 2014 album High Hopes. \u201cThe E Street Band is a pretty big house,\u201d Springsteen told Rolling Stone in 2014.<\/a> \u201cBut [Morello] builds on another room. He builds on a room that hadn\u2019t existed before \u2026 He became a filter that I ran all of that music through, and he would send it back to me with a very current slant on it. I\u2019m not sure if the record would exactly exist without his influence.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMorello was forced to rebook some solo shows to accommodate the E Street tour. \u201cI have a deep love and respect for all my friends, fans & comrades, and I\u2019m sorry that I must reschedule some of my May solo shows,\u201d Morello added in his statement. \u201cI promise that we will find a way to be together for these shows, in these towns, very soon.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cTogether, Bruce, the E Street Band, and I are going to turn a spotlight on the current threats…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":444029,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[15738,96,128,2777,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-444028","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-bruce-springsteen","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-tom-morello","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444028","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=444028"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444028\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/444029"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=444028"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=444028"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=444028"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
