Now everyone can hear what went down on the first night of the Euro Springsteen tour May 14 in Manchester England as a new EP has been released digitally as Land Of Hope & Dreams. Besides the dramatic title tune, The E Street Band revs up “Long Walk Home,” “My City Of Ruins” and, most profoundly, a unique and lump-in-your-throat cover of “Chimes Of Freedom,” a song just as applicable now as when Dylan wrote it 61 years ago in 1964.
