This past weekend (April 7), Springsteen brought the ongoing Springsteen & E Street 2024 tour to the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, California. Springsteen and co. kicked off the night with ‘Open All Night’, which marked the first time the track was performed on this current tour, as well as the first time it’s been played live since 2014. During the same show, he also performed ‘Sherry Darling’ for the first time during the current tour.
Later during the show, Springsteen invited Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine and Audioslave fame to make two more tour debuts in the form of 2001’s ‘American Skin (41 Shots)’ and 1995’s ‘The Ghost Of Tom Joad’. Besides marking the first time these songs were performed during the 2024 tour, April 7 was also the first time that they have been played live in a long while.
‘American Skin (41 Shots)’ was last performed live as a full band in 2017, while ‘The Ghost of Tom Joad’ was last performed with the E Street Band in 2016. Watch fan-shot footage of the Morello-assisted ‘The Ghost of Tom Joad’ below.
