Bruce Springsteen opened his show the right way for his Perth, Australia audience.

According to rollingstone.com:

He kicked off his show at the Perth Arena on a thrilling note Friday night, opening the set with a cover of native sons AC/DC's 1979 hit, "Highway To Hell."

Meanwhile, The Boss has announced stateside tour dates for 2014.

As reported at rollingstone.com, the tour kicks off April 8th at Cincinnati, Ohio's U.S. Bank Arena and wraps up May 18th with a two-night stand at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut.

Springsteen is focusing largely on markets that were passed over during the ‘Wrecking Ball’ tour, including Texas, Florida and Nashville. The omission of traditional Springsteen strongholds like New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia and Los Angeles suggest that there are more dates to be announced in the future.

Tickets go on sale beginning February 14th at 10:00 a.m. EST.
