Springsteen actuó, en formato acústico, ante unas 250 personas en la sala East Room de la Casa Blanca en Washington. Fue un concierto emotivo, con el presidente y su esposa en primera fila, que arrancó con «Working on the highway». El repertorio mezcló clásicos con canciones más reivindicativas y algunos éxitos. No faltaron «Thunder Road», «Born in the USA», «The Promised Land» o «Dancing in the Dark», junto a «The Ghost of Tom Joad», «Long Walk Home», «My Hometown», «Growin’ Up» o «Land of Hope and Dreams».
Patti acompañó a Springsteen en un par de canciones, y la velada se cerró con Obama en el escenario despidiéndose de Bruce y de todo el personal de la Casa Blanca que le ha acompañado en estos últimos ocho años.
