    But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
    I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
    Searchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad

      Tom Joad has been a staple of Tom Morello/Rage Against the Machine shows forever. But this was the only tour Spirngsteen inluded it in his playlist. And this Anaheim show - which I attended for wildly different reasons - was the first one Tom Morello joined the E Street Band for. They have since repeated the collab several times since. It's a Socialist Dream performance!

My god, how have i missed this? There's something special about this performance, Bruce's raw emotion in his voice and Tom's raw emotion in his guitar, it's a perfect mix. That solo from Tom had my laughing at how talented he is and crying for how beautiful it is at the same time. Absolutely incredible.

      This whole performance is legendary. Historic. Especially for Tom Morello, who gave a Hendrix-at-Woodstock-level performance and made me a fan.
      And, of course, Springsteen's heartbreaking, gut wrenching writing and intense performance.
      You know, now that I think about it, what makes Morello so great here is that he matches Springsteen's intensity. It's like they're both performing with life-or-death consequences hanging in the balance.

      Don't be ashamed; just be glad. I told my kids when we watched this together: Springsteen shows himself to be a pretty good lead guitarist, and he is an undying legend. Morello shows himaelf to be an other-worldly lead guitarist, and he is, relatively speaking, unknown. Our self-worth comes from our close associates, our co-workers, but most importantly, ourselves, and not from the outside world which neither knows us nor understands us.

      Yeah, never mind actual musical genius like Max Richter's dazzling re-harmonisation of Vivaldi' universally significant 'For Seasons' or Bach's 3 versions of his own Sinfonia for solo violin partita (No.3) and lute suite (No.4).
      These 3 chords converted from melancholy blues to another simple rock song ... THAT'S GENIUS!

But when Bruce and Tom Morello collaborated on this song something magic happened. This version of the song should be required listening for every person alive. This is magic. It haunts me to the point that I play it again and again. This is magic.

      Same. For the past ten years I’ve watched various renditions of this act. I especially watch it to remind me that there are people out there actively fighting injustice. I really love is the acknowledgment of Bruce Springsteen for Tom Morello. In a real way, the Troubador’s rejection of inequality passes from Woody Guthrie, through Steinbeck and Springsteen. And now Morello reminds us that Tom Joad is just as relevant as ever. Waiting for the last to be first...neath the underpass, in a cardboard box. Damn.
