AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Nov. 15 (UPI) -- Rocker Bruce Springsteen mistakenly made references to the state of Ohio multiple times during a recent performance in Auburn Hills, Mich., observers said.

The Detroit Free Press said after being alerted to his on-stage mistakes during Friday's show at the Palace at Auburn Hills, Springsteen moved on with rocking performances of hits like "Thunder Road" and "Backstreets."

"I'm all right," Springsteen said after guitarist Steven Van Zandt reportedly informed him of his state mix-up. "That is every front man's nightmare."

In addition to performing his own songs at Friday's concert, Springsteen offered those in attendance renditions of Bob Seger's "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" and Jackie Wilson's "Higher and Higher."

The Free Press said Springsteen, 60, even took time during the show to offer a plug for the Detroit charity organization Focus:Hope.
