Bruce Springsteen Releases Live EP, Including His Anti-Trump Speeches

Bruce Springsteen, who has been fiercely criticizing the Trump Administration on a nightly basis on his European tour with the E Street Band, will release an EP from the opening night of the tour titled “Land of Hope and Dreams.”

Recorded in Manchester, England on May 14, the EP features four songs and two of his introductions to those songs, which were fiery enough to provoke the ire of President Trump himself, who first insulted Springsteen (shortly after insulting Taylor Swift) on his Truth Social platform, and then called for a federal investigation into baseless rumors about whether Springsteen and several others were paid to appear at fund-raisers for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

The full tracklist appears below; all songs are Springsteen compositions except Bob Dylan’s “Chimes of Freedom.” The EP is expected to be available Wednesday morning on all major streaming services.

Trump was angered by reading reports that Springsteen, without referring to the president by name, had criticized the administration in a Manchester concert.

There, the rocker said, “The mighty E Street Band is here tonight to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock ‘n’ roll, in dangerous times. In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, and has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration. Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experience to rise with us, raise your voices against the authoritarianism, and let freedom ring.” Springsteen’s message came as an introduction to a performance of “Land of Hope and Dreams.”
