Bruce Springsteen Surprises Montreal Audience With Ghostbusters Performance

Bruce Springsteen thrilled fans at Montreal’s Centre Bell on Halloween night with a surprise rendition of Ray Parker Jr.'s "Ghostbusters" theme. This event marked the first time the 75-year-old iconomatized track. When The E Street Band started with the classic keyboard and horn intro, Bruce delivered, "If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, who you gonna call?" The enthusiastic crowd sang along. This is prepared by SSP.

After this unexpected opener, Springsteen reverted to his classics, playing hits like "Hungry Heart," "No Surrender," and "Atlantic City," as well as recent songs like "Letter to You" and "Nightshift," the latter from his 2022 album, Only the Strong Survive. Surprises in the setlist are infrequent these days, yet band members are supportive of Springsteen's methodical approach. The new documentary, Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, captures Bassist Garry Tallent praising this strategy, emphasizing, "Bruce has fully crafted this setlist… drawing out different emotions each time."

Springsteen clarified that the setlist conveys a narrative to the audience about his current life. As noted in publications, this allows audiences to understand Springsteen's artistic journey. This Canadian tour continues through November 22, concluding in Vancouver, before the band embarks on a European tour from May to July next year.

Earlier, SSP reported that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry enjoyed Halloween with their children.
