RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE Guitarist's Performance With BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN Being Released

According to The Pulse of Radio, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE guitarist Tom Morello's performance (see video below) with Bruce Springsteen during Springsteen's April 7 concert in Anaheim, California will be featured on a four-song digital EP called "Magic Tour Highlights". The July 15 release will feature both audio and video tracks recorded live in concert during the E STREET BAND's current Magic tour. Morello joined Springsteen onstage on both April 7 and April 8 for an electric version of the latter's "The Ghost of Tom Joad" and told The Pulse of Radio how it came about. "We've been friends for about 10 years and I just ran into him at a recording studio a couple of days before the show, and he said, you know, 'We need to get you up onstage, Tommy!'" he said. "Like, I don't get nervous for too much, I've, you know, I've rocked my share of arenas, but I was terrified (laughs). But it went great. His crowd couldn't have been more appreciative, and soloing over the rocking E STREET BAND while the Boss nods his approval is...those are a couple of nights that I'll remember forever."

The collection will be available at all digital download outlets including the iTunes store.

It also features a guest appearance by BYRDS founder Roger McGuinn, as well as a song from late E STREET keyboardist Danny Federici's final performance with the band.

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE recorded its own version of "The Ghost of Tom Joad" for its 2000 covers album, "Renegades".

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE is playing European festivals throughout the summer, but will return home to headline the second day of this year's Lollapalooza festival on August 2 in Chicago's Grant Park.
