Group plays _Letter to You_'s "Ghosts" and "I'll See You in My Dreams" live together for first time Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed a pair of
_Letter to You_ songs live together for the first time as musical guest on the latest _Saturday Night Live_. Springsteen and company opened their SNL appearance with a rousing, enthusiastic
rendition of “Ghosts”; earlier in the week, Springsteen told _The Tonight Show_ he was especially excited about playing _SNL_ in front of a live audience amid a year where live music has
been nearly non-existent due to the coronavirus. While it wasn’t a packed arena or a sold-out Broadway theater, Springsteen and the E Street Band brought that same energy to _SNL_’s smaller
audience on both “Ghosts” and the second performance of the night, “I’ll See You in My Dreams.” TRENDING STORIES https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DF1vDXI1BJM Due to the pandemic and Covid-19
precautions, the E Street Band’s founding bassist Garry Tallent and violinist Soozie Tyrell had to skip the _SNL_ performance. Springsteen tweeted this week, “Garry and his family are fine
as is Soozie, but we thank Jack Daley of the Disciples of Soul for sitting in.” Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band last appeared on _SNL_ for their Christmas 2015 episode, performing
“Meet Me in the City” and “The Ties That Bind” in support of their reissue of _The River_ at the time.
