The Concert For Valor took place last night on the National Mall in Washington, DC to honor Veteran’s Day. An estimated 800,000 were in attendance and the event was simulcast online and on HBO. Artists performing included Bruce Springsteen, Dave Grohl, Eminem, Rihanna, the Black Keys, Metallica, and more. Each performer played a handful of songs for the show, Bruce played Dancing In The Dark, Born In The USA, The Promised Land all acoustic, the full show which lasted for just over three hours. On Tuesday, Bruce Springsteen played the Concert For Valor, a big event honoring Veterans Day on Washington D.C.’s National Mall. This was a self-consciously patriotic event, but Springsteen’s set list wasn’t exactly a jingoistic affair. Along with Dave Grohl and Zac Brown, Springsteen covered Creedence Clearwater Revival’s 1969 song “Fortunate Son,” an angry song in which a soldier lashes out at those who avoided the Vietnam draft through family connections.
