Some fans had wondered if Bruce Springsteen would play "Drive All Night" again.

The song off "The River" was rarity live to begin with, having been played at only five E Street Band shows since 1981.

It was at today's venue, the Ullevi in Gothenburg, Sweden, on July 5, 2008 where "Drive All Night" was played for the first time in more than 27 years at an E Street Band show (Bruce did perform it several times on his sole Devils & Dust Tour in 2005).

The songs features a haunting sax solo by Clarence Clemons, and since the Big Man's death last year, this song, along with "Jungleland" were ones some fans wondered if they would be heard again.

But on Friday, "Drive All Night" — which has been soundchecked earlier in the day — was played with Jake Clemons doing the sax solo. Jake has played this solo before with the band The Swell Season.

Video of the "Drive All Night" performance on Friday:

One tweet from a fan at the show said "Jake broke his heart" with his solo.

"Girls in Their Summer Clothes" was another tour premiere in the 31-song, 3:43 show.
