A surprise-filled Bruce Springsteen concert in California (WATCH VIDEOS)

Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band performed at The Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, April 4.

Those attending the concert by Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, April 4 at The Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, were treated to a marathon with four tour debuts and a rare appearance by Patti Scialfa (participating in just her fourth show on the tour). In the course of the approximately 3-hours-and-20-minutes, 32-song concert — the longest, so far, on the 2023-24 tour — Springsteen opened with a cover of John Lee Hooker’s “Boom Boom”; performed another cover, “Jole Blon,” as a sign request; and sang “Tougher Than the Rest” and “Fire” as duets with Scialfa.

Other songs in the setlist that have been rarely performed on the tour included “Trapped,” “Two Hearts,” “My City of Ruins” and “Twist and Shout.”

You can watch videos of “Boom Boom,” “Tougher Than the Rest,” “Fire,” “Jole Blon” and a bit of “Twist and Shout,” below.

Springsteen and Scialfa sang “Tougher Than the Rest” and “Fire” together, regularly, during the 2021 “Springsteen on Broadway” shows.
