I love Rage Against The Machine's version of Bruce Springsteen's The Ghost of Tom Joad. Sorry I wasn't in Anaheim Monday night to see Rage guitarist Tom Morello hop onstage to join the E Street Band as they performed that live rarity.
Here's an excerpt from behind the Orange Curtain, from Ben Wener, in Tuesday's Orange County Register:
...And I suspect everyone who was there has by now told anyone who'll listen about the surprise appearance from Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello (aka the Nightwatchman), who joined his fellow crusader for truth and freedom on a gut-walloping rendition of "The Ghost of Tom Joad" that built from a moody smolder to a positively incendiary finish. With Morello's Hendrix-style soar getting sympathetic underpinning from Springsteen's Telecaster (while the Boss beamed at the display), the climax of the hard-bitten piece was worthy of David Gilmour at his most expressive.
