Booce!

Due to Sandy fucking things up, Rocherster is getting the first Halloween Bruce The Boss Springsteen show in 20 years. This one came close:
October 30, 2007 – Los Angeles Sports Arena
No special song this time, but back at the Sports Arena (this time, the night before Halloween), Bruce is again carried on stage in a coffin. Steve presents him a guitar and he asks, "Is there anybody alive out there?" as he starts the standard "Radio Nowhere" opener.  
This one seems interesting too:
October 31, 1980 – Los Angeles Sports Arena
Bruce is carried on stage in a coffin and starts this River tour show with a cover of "Jumpin'" Gene Simmons' "Haunted House." YouTube (audio) link is here. Lesser known about this night is that Bruce also did a special cover to start the show’s second set: the instrumental "Out of Limits" (a takeoff on the Outer Limits television show theme), originally done by the Marketts in 1964.
