Watch Bruce Springsteen Bring an 89-Year-Old Grandmother Onstage for ‘Dancing in the Dark’

In a move that recalled the song's MTV-era roots, Bruce Springsteen invited a girl onstage for his and the E Street Band's rendition of "Dancing in the Dark" last night. But this time there was a twist.

A woman named Evelyn was at Springsteen's tour stop in Toronto yesterday to celebrate her 89th birthday. She was enjoying a raucous evening in the pit just in front of the E Street Band, who are touring in support of The River reissue. Springsteen apparently noticed Evelyn, and invited her for a spin during the hits-filled encore. You can watch the video above.

The birthday girl gives Springsteen a lingering hug after being helped up by a stage hand. They dance for a few seconds, and then Evelyn leaves to resounding applause, all to the accompaniment of a muscular sax solo by Jake Clemons, nephew of the late Clarence Clemons.

This isn't the first time Springsteen has invited a mature audience member up for a dance. He memorably shared the stage with his mother Adele during "Dancing in the Dark" back in 2013. This same tour has also seen Springsteen bring up a very pregnant woman onstage, fulfilling a dream that was part of her bucket list -- which was on a sign that Springsteen showed the audience.

Maybe his stop in Denver, will have something similar!

"Dancing the Dark," the lead single from 1984's Born in the U.S.A., remains Springsteen's highest charting single, reaching No. 2 in the U.S. and No. 4 in the U.K.
