Bruce Springsteen is continuing his somewhat new tradition of performing “out of the box” covers at his shows. The Boss opened his Dallas show in Sunday with Van Halen’s ‘Jump’.

Springsteen was performing Australian classics during his recent Aussie tour including INXS ‘Don’t Change’, The Easybeats ‘Friday On My Mind’ and AC/DC’s ‘Highway To Hell’.

His most recent album ‘High Hopes’ has a cover of Brisbane’s The Saints’ ‘Just Like Fire Would’.

Springsteen performed his first show on US soil for 2014 at Reunion Park, Dallas.
