AC/DC's Bon Scott was a Fremantle boy and is buried in the city just south of Perth.

Springsteen's Saturday night show continues a pattern of performing the songs of hometown legends. The Boss opened his 2013 Australian tour in Brisbane with a cover of The Saints' Just Like Fire Would. He went on to record the song a week later in Sydney which is the version on his new album High Hopes.

Springsteen once opened a London show with The Clash's London Calling.
