Last night, Bruce Springsteen & E Street Band played a homecoming show at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Springsteen opened the set with “Local Hero” — a touring rarity — which appears on 1992’s Lucky Town. Springsteen hadn’t played “Local Hero” live since 2013, and before that, he’d only brought it out in 2003, 1993, and 1992.

Also during the set, Springsteen performed his version of the Commodores’ “Nightshift” (which appears on last year’s covers album Only The Strong Survive), Patti Smith’s “Because The Night,” and Tom Waits’ “Jersey Girl.” Watch some fan-shot footage of Springsteen performing “Local Hero” for the first time in a decade below.
