UPDATE 2/14 7 a.m. PT: Bruce has shared pro-shot video of his “Highway To Hell” debut:

Tonight, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band’s Australian Tour continued at the Perth Arena in Perth, where The Boss had a big surprise in store to open the show.

Springsteen and his band came out and kicked into a debut cover of AC/DC’s 1979 hit “Highway To Hell.” The Boss capably handled vocals on the tune and was instrumental in the song’s four-way guitar duel that also involved Nils Lofgren, Steven Van Zandt and Tom Morello. Other tour debuts at tonight’s show in Perth were “Streets Of Fire,” “Candy’s Room,” “Downbound Train,” “Radio Nowhere,” a solo piano version of “The Promise” and a solo guitar take on “Terry’s Song.”
