Obama was joined by Steven Spielberg’s wife, Kate Capshaw, shaking a tambourine and singing backup vocals on the band’s 1984 hit, “Glory Days,” Rolling Stone reported.

On Thursday, the former first lady and former President Barack Obama dined with the Spielbergs and Springsteen at the Amar restaurant in Barcelona’s Palace Hotel, the BBC reported.

Springsteen campaigned for Obama in 2008 and performed “The Rising” with the Joyce Garrett Singers, a gospel choir, at his inaugural address in January 2009, according to Rolling Stone.

A photo of Barack Obama, Springsteen and the legendary director was uploaded by restaurant employee Pol Perello, who wrote on social media, “the pleasure this job brings you!” according to Rolling Stone.

“We gave them oysters, shellfish and fish from Roses, my classic -- the caviar bikini -- a little bit of everything,” Chef Rafa Zafra told the BBC. “And super grateful!”

Barcelona was the first stop on Springsteen’s world tour. The 20-time Grammy Award winner announced after the last concert on the U.S. leg of his tour that he had contracted COVID-19.
