Covers have been the name of the game on the High Hopes tour so far for Bruce Springsteen. Whether overseas or in the States, The Boss is consistently surprising crowds with his cover selection, with the band most recently covering Van Halen’s “Jump,” Lorde’s “Royals” and AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell.”

Last night in Virginia Beach, Springsteen incorporated eight covers during the 28-song set, including the opener, Bill Deal & The Rhondels’ “May I,” which served as a live premiere for the band. Moving through the set, the hall of fame E Street Band also delivered a tour debut of Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes’ (frequent E Street Band collaborators) “Talk to Me” as well as Tom Waits’ “Jersey Girl.”

To kick off the encore, Bruce offered his rendition of Joe Grushecky’s “The Wall” as well as “Seven Nights to Rock” from Moon Mullican. The classic “Born to Run” was sandwiched in between the two covers. The show closed with The Isley Brothers classic “Shout” and an intimate solo version of “Thunder Road” with Bruce alone on stage.
