WATCH: Springsteen pays tribute to Pete Seeger
Springsteen dedicated ‘We Shall Overcome’ to the fallen icon.
Last night, on the second night of his High Hopes tour, in The Bellville Velodrome in Cape Town, Bruce Springsteen paid tribute to what he called “…a great friend and a great hero…”
Springsteen then played a stripped down acoustic edition of ‘We shall Overcome’ The song that Seeger adopted as his own, which then became his signature song.
It’s reminiscent of the version done with the Seeger sessions band on the albums We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions and Live In Dublin
