Bruce Springsteen opens Halloween show with “Ghostbusters” (WATCH VIDEO)

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed in Montreal on October 31st.

When Bruce Springsteen resumed his tour with the E Street Band at Montreal's Center Bell on Halloween night, he had a nice gift for his fans: his first-ever cover of “Ghostbusters,” Ray Parker Jr.'s 1984 hit You can watch a partial video of the performance below. I will replace a full video as soon as it is available.

A little fun fact: When “Ghostbusters” debuted at No. 1 on Billboard magazine's singles chart in August 1984, Springsteen's “Dancing in the Dark” was also in the top 10, at No. 7.
