It was a full-on Bruceapalooza on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon Friday evening.
To close out Fallon’s tribute week to Bruce Springsteen, the Boss himself was front and center for the whole show, joining his host for an interview and playing a lot of music.
The show opened with Bruce and Fallon covering LMFAO’s “Sexy And I Know It” – watch the video here.
With musical guests like Kenny Chesney, John Legend and Elvis Costello featured doing Springsteen covers during the week, it was up to Bruce and The E Street Band to open and close the week’s festivities (they played Monday – see that here.)
And the group did so, joined by Tom Morello, as they performed two tracks from the new “Wrecking Ball” album, in stores on Tuesday (6) – “Death To My Hometown” and “Jack Of All Trades.”
They also connected on Springsteen’s 1973 track, “The E Street Shuffle,” joined by The Roots, with Fallon rocking the cowbell.
