Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band performed at The Bellville Velodrome in Cape Town, South Africa on Sunday, January 27, 2014. It was Springsteen’s first concert of 2014.
‘Heaven’s Wall’ from the new ‘High Hopes’ album was performed for the very first time in concert at the show although Springsteen did play the song on the Jimmy Fallon Show two weeks ago in New York.
Springsteen also paid tribute to the late Nelson Mandela opening the show with a cover of Special A.K.A.’s ‘Nelson Mandela’ and then by dedicating ‘We Are Alive’ later in the show to Mandela.
