Remember the first time you saw Bruce Springsteen in concert? If you fall within a certain age group (and a very wide one at that!), there’s an excellent chance you do. Such is the depth of the personal connection, that this New Jersey born superstar has made with fans during the course of his storied career. This connectivity is wonderfully and warmly evident on Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band’s current 2023 World Tour, not just in the legendary artist’s emotive music and stage presence, but also in a lighting design that goes more than the extra mile to join the performance and audience as one.Read More »Jeff Ravitz Reflects Bond Between Bruce Springsteen and His Fans with CHAUVET Professional Color STRIKE M
