photobombUSCIt was the 20th Anniversary of the ‘Ambassadors for Humanity’ gala, organized by the USC Shoah Foundation, and Barack Obama was there to receive this year’s Humanity Award.

Bruce Springsteen shared table with both Steven Spielberg (founder of the USC Foundation) and Barack Obama, and came onstage to sing acoustic versions of «The Promised Land» and «Dancing in the Dark».

Previously Spielberg introduced him by saying Bruce is «this nation’s hardest working lyrical poet for our common humanity. […] I think anyone who has a boss wishes it was you».

Both Spielberg and Springsteen photo-bombed each other at the evening’s photo call.

Rock’n’roll night in Houston

Closeup-low
One more night to remember. Bruce Springsteen offered a high-intensity show in his return to Houston.

The opening «Seeds» set the tone for the night: tons of rock, with back to back versions of «Badlands» and «Adam Raised a Cain» plus «She’s The One», «Night» into «No Surrender», «Born to Run» into «Rosalita» or the duets with Texan singer-songwriter Joe Ely in the encore: «Great Balls of Fire» and «Lucille». Pure rock’n’roll.

There was also time for ballads and mid-tempo songs, with the tour debut of the superb «One Step Up», from Tunnel of Love, and a special version of «Backstreets» featuring a lengthy «Sad Eyes» interlude.

The surprise of the night was the premiere of «All Or Nothin ‘At All», from the forgotten Human Touch album, a song that has been played live 8 times only, all except one in 1992 (the last known version was from the show in Tampa in 2009).
