Springsteen kicked off his “Land of Hope & Dreams American Tour” at the packed Target Center with a show that lasted just shy of three hours, with no intermission.

The performance at Target Center featured "Streets of Minneapolis" and Prince and Bob Dylan covers.

During opening night of the Land of Hope and Dreams Tour with the E Street Band, Springsteen called on the audience to “fight for the America that we love”

"The America that I love, that's been a beacon of hope and liberty around the world, is in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless, and treasonous administration," Springsteen said

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life (and launch The Boss’s new tour).

Bruce Springsteen gave political speeches at his Minneapolis tour opener, criticizing the White House and drawing "traitor" accusations from critics.
