Bruce Springsteen crowdsurfs during Los Angeles ‘Wrecking Ball’ show

The legendary singer joined onstage by Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello at the Memorial Sports Arena

Bruce Springsteen brought his ‘Wrecking Ball’ tour to Los Angeles last night (April 27), surfing across the crowd midway through a three-hour show backed by the E Street Band.

Playing the second of two nights at Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena, Springsteen opened the show with ‘No Surrender’ from his 1984 album ‘Born In The USA’, before playing his most recent single ‘We Take Care Of Our Own’.

The set included classic tracks ‘Badlands’, ‘Darkness On The Edge Of Town’, ‘Dancing In The Dark’ and ‘Born To Run’, as well as a host of material from new album ‘Wrecking Ball’. He was joined onstage by Rage Against The Machine‘s Tom Morello for ‘Death To My Hometown’ as well as for ‘The Ghost of Tom Joad’. “I wrote this song in 2009, there was no Occupy movement,” he said when introducing ‘Jack of All Trades’.

“We’re here with some new faces and some old faces, but the mission of the E Street Band remains steadfast,” said Springsteen, adding: “We’re here to leave you… with your sexual organs stimulated.”

During a medley of classic soul tracks ‘The Way You Do The Things You Do’ and ‘634-5789’ Springsteen went into the middle of the audience and then crowd surfed all the way back to the stage to cheers.

The show concluded with ‘Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out’, during which a photo and video montage of former sax player Clarence Clemons, who died last year, played whilst the crowd whooped and Springsteen went back into the centre of the venue and stood on an elevated platform.
