Springsteen, 76, took the stage with the film\u2019s cast and crew at the end of the screening, where he surprised the crowd with a solo acoustic performance of his emotional ballad \u201cLand of Hope and Dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThese days, we have daily events reminding us of the fact that we’re living through these particularly dangerous times,\u201d Springsteen said as he introduced the song. \u201cI spent my life on the road. I\u2019ve been moving around the world as kind of a musical ambassador for America: trying to measure the distance between American reality, where we’ve often fallen short of our ideals and the American dream.\u201d<\/p>\n New York Film Festival: <\/strong>Julia Roberts dishes on her ‘tricky’ new role in cancel-culture drama ‘After the Hunt’<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Bruce Springsteen performs after the “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere” screening at New York Film Festival on Sept. 28.<\/p>\n But as \u201cbad as it feels right now, for a lot of folks out there, she continues to be a land of hope and dreams,\u201d he added. \u201cNot of fear or divisiveness or government censorship or hatred. That America is worth fighting for. So it’s in that spirit, I brought along my lifelong weapon of choice: the guitar.\u201d<\/p>\n The New York premiere of the movie (in theaters Oct. 24<\/a>) comes two weeks after the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Jimmy Kimmel\u2019s controversial remarks about Kirk\u2019s killing prompted ABC to temporarily suspend his late-night TV show, which has prompted widespread concerns around free speech.<\/p>\n Springsteen told the audience to \u201cstay strong\u201d as he left the stage, earning a standing ovation and chants of \u201cBruuuce!\u201d throughout the elated Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n
