BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN<\/p>\n

In keeping with the political theme of their current tour<\/a>, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band performed The Clash\u2019s 1979 anti-fascism anthem \u201cClampdown\u201d (from their London Calling album) as the fourth song of their April 7 concert at The Kia Forum in Inglewood, California.<\/p>\n

Springsteen got a particularly big cheer for the line, \u201cIn these days of evil presidentes \u2026,\u201d dramatically delivering it a cappella, with the house lights turned off.<\/p>\n

You can watch the performance, which featured Tom Morello on duet vocals and guitar, below.<\/p>\n
