A young boy recently enjoyed a moment in the limelight when he got the opportunity to share the stage with "The Boss."
A YouTube video, uploaded on March 18, shows a young boy on stage with Bruce Springsteen (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXW60sz205Y)during a concert in Brisbane, Australia.
"This was the chance in a lifetime for the young fan," wrote YouTube user "TheLouie01 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXW60sz205Y)," who uploaded the awesome clip.
In the video, the boy can be seen singing Springsteen's 2003 hit "Waitin' on a Sunny Day" to a cheering crowd before doing a knee slide with the music legend.
Though few details are available about the video, a blog post on Springsteen's official website noted that a "lucky boy" had shared the mic with "The Boss" during Springsteen's March 16 concert in Brisbane (http://brucespringsteen.net/news/2013/notes-from-the-road-brisbane-night-2).
The kid had apparently been singled out after he was spotted with a red cap in his back pocket -- a style that mirrored Springsteen's iconic look from the cover of his 1984 album "Born In The U.S.A."
The March 16 show was Springsteen's second gig on his Australian tour (http://brucespringsteen.net/2013?cat=8). The first, which had also been in Brisbane, was praised by (http://www.heraldsun.com.au/entertainment/music/bruce-springsteens-first-australian-concert-live-review/story-e6frf9hf-1226597625515) critics (http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/entertainment/music/springsteen-rocks-it-like-a-boss-20130315-2g48x.html) for its energy and brilliance.
"Sometimes a show takes the breath out of your lungs and leaves you speechless. In awe. Unsure how to articulate what you just witnessed. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band is one such show (http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/entertainment/music/springsteen-rocks-it-like-a-boss-20130315-2g48x.html)," wrote Cameron Atfield for the Brisbane Times after the March 14 performance. "This is a man at the top of his game, defying his 63 years and displaying the energy of a man one third his age."
As part of his Wrecking Ball Tour (http://brucespringsteen.net/category/live-dates), Springsteen is going to be playing several more shows in Australia, before taking his world tour to several countries in Europe and Brazil.
