The Bee Gees grew up and started their career in Australia, making “Stayin’ Alive” yet another cover Springsteen has debuted by an Australian act during his tour Down Under. Speaking of Australian act covers, once again the E Street Band welcomed Eddie Vedder for AC/DC’s “Highway To Hell.” This time the Pearl Jam front man sported a tambourine.
