The organizers of the "Hard Rock Calling" organized in Hyde Park in London, do not let her finish the Bruce Springsteen concert because it had exceeded half hour of the scheduled time, so those present could not enjoy the end of the party as the Boss ended the concert playing and singing with former Beatles Paul McCartney.

The London authorities comply in every detail of the rules governing and taught who's boss in this place when, about to finish the concert, Bruce Springsteen and Paul McCartney were shushed by cutting the electrical connection of the stage. Thus brusque, both singers could not finish the show and without even saying goodbye to those who gathered there.After a concert of 3 hours and 65,000 people as devoted audience with The Boss and Paul McCartney, after having sung a few songs from The Beatles to encourage even more, a final apotheosis. The songs were "I Saw Her Standing There" and "Twist and Shout", suddenly, and half of the last song, everything was stopped and the speakers stopped working. Bruce had not even noticed and continued singing until she could find her voice was not listening. The punishment of all this was that it was half an hour of the agreement with the organization of the concert.

During the concert, The Boss, accompanied always com E Street Band, also invited to play two songs to Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine, and singer John Fogerty.

Steven Van Zandt, guitarist in the E Stret Band on Twitter said: "Since when England has become a police state?". He added that "they had not screwed up all night, but I can not stop the feet when suddenly with McCartney".

Also on Twitter comedian and actor Stephen Merchant: "I am ashamed to be British at this time, Springsteen and McCartney playing 'Twist & Shout' in Hyde Park and the board removed the power due to the curfew".

With political character, the mayor of London, Boris Johnson, also regretted the decision. "This action appears excessive. This not occur during the Olympics", said on LBC radio. But the fact has already occurred but are still two weeks to the Olympic event. So it can happen again next time with another concert. Next on tap is Paul Simon.

Bruce Springsteen will be very difficult to exceed three hours and forty-eight-minute concert, the longest of his career, offered on 18 June at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid.

Live nation should give themselves a good shake, I was amongest the crowd and i thought there was going to be a riot, when the power was cut off, i was totally gutted for the show to end that way it was a awsome performance  upto that point,  Because of the way the concert ended it's unlikely that Bruce Springsteen/E Street band  will ever perform at Hyde park again it's also unlikely that a DVD of the show will ever see the light of day,
