Watch Arcade Fire’s Win Butler Play “Born in the USA” at Jam the Vote
By Jazz Monroe.
Arcade Fire’s Win Butler played with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and the Blind Boys of Alabama during tonight’s Jam the Vote concert at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York. Alex Ebert (Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes), Craig Finn (The Hold Steady), Eugene Hutz (Gogol Bordello), Lee Fields, and more also performed throughout the night. Watch Butler perform Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” below around the 3:15:00 mark. (Arcade Fire covered the song during a show back in August.) Hutz also did Stevie Wonder’s “Higher Ground” and Finn covered “Peace, Love, and Understanding” by Elvis Costello.
“I want to thank all the immigrants,” Butler said before performing. “We need more of you... I want to thank everyone who came to America to make it the country that it is—thank you.”
