Watch Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats Deliver a Powerful Acoustic “Atlantic City” Backstage at _The Tonight Show_

March 16, 2018

Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon earlier this week to play “You Worry Me” off their new album Tearing at the Seams, and apparently the band got up to some cool stuff backstage as well. 

The show has shared video of Rateliff and company offering up an acoustic version of Bruce Springsteen’s classic “Atlantic City,” with the lead singer giving it his all in cramped quarters with the rest of his band—horn section included. Throw in some beautiful harmonies, and you have a great cover of a great song. 

Watch below, along with a bonus video of Rateliff & The Night Sweat’s recent appearance on KEXP, where they played a few tunes and Rateliff spoke with the host, giving this tongue-in-cheek advice to up-and-coming bands: “Keep going to school. Or write a song that you don’t really like that much and be prepared for everyone to like it” (referring to the surprise success of his single “S.O.B.”).
