Video: Bruce Springteen Covers “Jump” At Final Four Show

Rob Slater on April 7, 2014

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band closed out the annual March Madness Music Festival held on the weekend of the Final Four. As Kentucky and UConn prepare to square off for the championship tonight, The Boss kicked off his show with a fitting cover of Van Halen’s “Jump,” complete with a referee and a jump ball between him and guitarist Nils Lofgren.

Springsteen has varied up his covers so far this year, mixing in cuts from AC/DC, INXS, Bee Gees and most famously–Lorde. Up next for the group is a lengthy North American tour this summer, but not before The E Street Band takes their rightful place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Thursday night at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.
