Bruce Springsteen kicked off Joe Biden’s inauguration concert, as the first performer in the “Celebrating America” special hosted by Tom Hanks?

Accompanied only by a guitar on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial — with the lit National Mall and Washington Monument beckoning in front of him — Springsteen, 71, offered a “small prayer” for the country before serenading with his 1999 song “Land of Hope and Dreams.”.
