Yesterday night (January 16), Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band kicked off The River Tour in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and they took the stage to honor the late David Bowie with a live rendition of 1974 hit “Rebel Rebel”.
The Boss introduced the cover by thanking Bowie for the support he gave to his music during the early days. He recalled how, in 1973, he went to Philadelphia to meet the White Duke, who was recording the album Young Americans and how he covered some of Springsteen’s songs himself.
The tour will continue throughout North America for 24 dates, celebrating 36 years since his 1980 album The River. Watch the footage of the cover below.
