Sir Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen silenced by noise curfew Last week fans took to Hard Rock Calling's official Facebook page to urge the singer, known as "The Boss," to defy the restrictions. One, Thomas Messenger, said: "Only 3:15 for Bruce? Looks like it's curfew-breaking Boss time. Before Sir Paul joined him on stage Mr Springsteen performed hits such as Born In The USA and Because The Night. He had earlier invited Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello on stage to perform two songs, and singer John Fogerty had joined him for one. At one point he rewarded a fan's loyalty by playing an obscure track that the man had requested by holding up a banner in the crowd. The singer spotted the sign asking him to play the song Take "Em As They Come and said: "Tonight, my friend, this is your lucky night." He added: "It's a completely obscure track I wrote for (the album) The River when I needed some rock songs." Audience members reacted angrily to the concert's abrupt end. Stephen Merchant, the comedian, wrote on the micro-blogging website Twitter: "Ashamed to be British right now. Springsteen and McCartney playing Twist & Shout in Hyde Park and council pulled the plug cos of curfew. Paul Simon will close the festival on Sunday night.
