Bruce Springsteen has surprise 2-hour concert in Jersey


Surprise! It's Bruce Springsteen!


The musician joined Joe Grushecky and the Houserockers for a powerful and steamy set at the intimate Wonder Bar in Asbury Park, New Jersey Saturday night.

He stayed for 2 hours and played 15 songs, because he's BRUUUUUCE!


A fan took this video of Darkness on the Edge of Town: (That's Eddie Manion of the E Street Band on sax.)



Reporter Chris Jordan of Gannett paper Asbury Park Press writes that Springsteen and Grushecky have played a number of gigs together over the years, including shows at the Light of Day festivals at nearby Paramount Theater, and are now a "well-oiled machine," as you can tell from the above clips from the show.
