Bruce Springsteen Opens Concert With Surprise Halloween Cover & Crowd Absolutely Loses It

During his Halloween night concert in Montreal, Bruce Springsteen wanted to shake things up. Instead of starting his set with a classic like Born to Run, Hungry Heart, or Dancing in the Dark, Bruce decided to try something totally new. We hear the E Street Band playing a familiar spooky tune in a fan-shared video on X. As soon as Bruce hit the stage, guitar slung across his chest, fans went wild.

He sang to the crowd, “If there’s something strange, in your neighborhood, who you gonna call?,” Of course, the audience screamed Ghostbusters and sang along with Bruce to the nostalgic track. It made a lot of people smile knowing that the Boss loves the classics just like they do.

The video made the rounds on social media and fans who were in attendance and those catching the replay all seemed to love it.

An X user who posts as @spring-nuts, shared a great video of the performance.

This person loves the Boss. “Bruce makes me happy even when I am sad. Happy Halloween!”

This Bruce fan agreed, “Having just had a Zumba session full of Thriller, the Addams Family, the Time Warp…I just love this. Face it, if we can’t have a laugh at our age, then it really is a sorry state of affairs. Good on ’em for not taking themselves too serious.”

So did this fan, “That’s the kind of surprises, the long time fans go to the stadium for! Awesome!”

After finishing the Halloween-style tune, Bruce Springsteen went on to entertain fans with 29 tracks, according to Setlist.com. Those who love the Boss showed up to hear some throwback tunes but had no idea that Ghostbusters, a song Ray Parker Jr. made famous, would start the night off. It was a once-in-a-lifetime concert experience that fans would likely never forget. One thing for certain, Bruce Springsteen ain’t afraid of no ghosts.
