On September 11, The Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York and part of the Pentagon in Washington were attacked and destroyed by terrorist activity. Many innocent people lost their lives in the blackest day I can remember. My and my country's heart, soul and love goes out to all those who have lost loved ones and colleagues. — John, founder of Brucebase.

MY CITY OF RUINS

Bruce opens a national telethon, "America: A Tribute to Heroes," with the song he played for another city last December and last month, "My City of Ruins." His acoustic guitar and harmonica are the only instruments used in the performance, but Bruce was joined by Steven Van Zandt, Patti Scialfa, Clarence Clemons, Soozie Tyrell, Lisa Lowell, Dee Holmes, and Layonne Holmes on backing vocals in a very moving rendition. The telethon features many musicians and actors in three different cities, with actors describing heroic efforts by ordinary people during the September 11th tragedies.

"Something" and "My Sweet Lord" are played by Bruce as a tribute to George Harrison who passed away recently. "Santa Claus Baby" (previously mistaken for Teddy Edwards' "Santa Claus, Santa Claus") includes Bruce, Jimmy Vivino and Max Weinberg 7. "Thundercrack" is next up, last known to have been played in Austin, TX at the Armadillo World Headquarters in March 1974. "Seaside Bar Song" follows, previously played in June 1973, some 28 years ago. "Love (Stand Up)" and "Spanish Dancer" are Patti's spotlight. "Welcome To The World" and "New York Skyline" are Garland Jeffreys' contributions. Then Southside gets three slots before Nils Lofgren does the next two. Bruce and Southside share lead on "I Don't Want To Go Home". After "My City Of Ruins", Bobby Bandiera performs a solo acoustic "Here Comes The Sun". Otherwise quite similar to last years show.

It's time to rearrange the set list again; a brief "Deck The Halls" by the horn section kicks it off, leading into "Incident On 57th Street", which is almost like going back to February 1975 - Suki Lahav is replaced by Soozie Tyrell. "Jingle Bell Rock" starts off acoustically country style before the whole assembly turns it into New Orleans Christmas. A new artist enters the stage replacing Garland Jeffreys; Bruce Hornsby does "Spider Fingers" introduced by "O Come, All Ye Faithful" before doing his own "The End Of The Innocence" (co-written with Don Henley) together with Bruce. "You Sexy Thing" is introduced as "one of the great accordion songs, the song that made the accordion famous". "This Time Baby's Gone For Good" replaces "Talk To Me" during Southside Johnny's slot, Nils Lofgren does an acoustic version of "The Star-Spangled Banner" before "If I Should Fall Behind", close to the version Bruce recorded back in 1992 adding a horn part. "So Young And In Love" returns and replaces "The E Street Shuffle". The full E Street Band, minus Roy Bittan and Steven Van Zandt, is again present, and The Alliance Singers join once again.
