Bruce Springsteen rocks Asbury Park

Bruce Springsteen took the stage with the Asbury Jukes' Bobby Bandiera on Sunday night (April 29th) at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey. The show, which was a private benefit for the Ranney School which Springsteen's children attend, was preceded by a three hour-plus rehearsal. Backstreets.com reported that the audience paid $3,000 per couple for the intimate club show.

Both Springsteen's wife Patti Scialfa and Southside Johnny Lyons guested on a few numbers during the show, which leaned heavily on Springsteen originals.

Highlights performed at the show included "Cadillac Ranch," "Cover Me," "Spirit In The Night," "From Small Things (Big Things One Day Come)," "Two Hearts," "Rendezvous," "Darlington County," "Man's Job," "Pink Cadillac," "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out," "Dancing In The Dark," "Brilliant Disguise," and the Rolling Stones' "Time Is On My Side" with Scialfa.

Scialfa was featured on the Exciters' "Tell Him," the Ad Libs' "The Boy From New York City," and Southside's performed Springsteen's "The Fever," among other songs. The show closed with a group rendition of "Twist And Shout."

On June 5th The Boss will release his latest live collection, called Bruce Springsteen With The Sessions Band Live In Dublin. Initial copies of the disc also include a live DVD.
