Bruce Springsteen rocks Asbury till the wee hours! LOD

Springsteen began his own set shortly after midnight on acoustic guitar with

1. Incident on 57th Street

Crowd was singing along. Very well done.

Bruce left the stage and  Joe Grushecky and the Houserockers came on to perform

East Carson Street

Bruce then came back on stage to join the band for

2. Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce played to the crowd and was right down to the edge of the stage.

3. Never be Enough Time

A Grushecky song. Bruce and Joe traded lead vocals.

4. Adam Raised a Cain

Bruce welcome the crowd to Light of Day and then took some tequila and “blessed the crowd” up front.

“I got here early and got to see a lot of good music tonight. Willie Nile, John Eddie they just get better and better,” Springsteen said of two of the evening’s early performers.

“Then to see an acoustic Southside Johnny (Southside Johnny and the Poor Fools had played earlier). It was a shock to the system to see Southside on guitar. There’s something wrong with that picture.”

Springsteen then introduced the next song by saying ”this is something I began writing for ‘Darkness on the Edge of Town’ and I just finished it.”

5. Save my Love

6. Talk To the King

After finishing, Bruce talked about  Grushecky and the Houserockers being disappointed that their Pittsburgh Steelers were knocked out of the NFL playoffs last week. But he continued “tomorrow, there’s going to be a Big Blue train! I got a feeling” referring to the Giants playing the Packers on Sunday.

7. Atlantic City

Bruce asked the crowd three times “Are we coming back?” during the song. First time I’ve ever seen him do that. With his new album reportedly being “angry” with the current state of affairs, I wonder if this is one of the themes  we’ll see on the upcoming tour.

8. Johnny 99

This was a lot of fun. Bruce was all over the stage and playing to the people up front. He jumped up next to the piano and started playing it with his foot and then his butt. He later jumped up on the drumer riser and leaned back onto the drum kit. He was having a good time.
9.  I’m not Sleeping

A song he wrote with Grushecky.

10. Because the Night

Bruce brought three of the evenings earlier performers — John Eddie, Garland Jeffreys and Willie Nile — up to sing background.

Before playing the next song, Bruce said “I’m usually it bed by now. I still got one (child) in the house and I’m making pancakes. I’m a short-order cook. In addition to the guitar, I’m still a chauffeur and a short-order cook.

“And when I step off the stage, I have a red-headed woman who reminds me of that!”

11. Waiting on a Sunny Day

Bruce jumped into the audience. He went back a couple rows and one point dove head first into the crowd and then dove backward. He laster played up on the drum riser again.

12. Pumping Iron

Max Weinberg came out to play the drums for the remainder of the show starting with:

Foo Fighter concert on the beach in Asbury Park 2012

AMAZING NEWS! The Bamboozle Festival comes to Asbury Park May 18th – 20th 2012! See BLINK 182, FOO FIGHTERS, & BON JOVI right here! Many more acts to be announced! Tickets go on sale this Saturday at 10 AM.

Foo Fighter concert on the beach in Asbury Park 2012

Bamboozle Ticket Prices
Unfortunately this morning, our Fan Club service providers website was exposed. Some of the 2012 VIP packages surfaced early and most were seen before they should have.
I would like to let everyone know that we have done all we can to keep ticket prices as low as we could. This years return to Asbury Park is a massive undertaking and one of the most expensive festival projects in the history of our state. There are so many logistics and planning that will be required to pull off a beach concert of this size and magnitude. I would hope Tuesday mornings announcement delivers the excitement we would hope to celebrate a historic ten year anniversary.
Ticket prices are:
3 Day Passes: $190
Single Day Tickets:
Friday $65 / Saturday $75 / Sunday $75
Ticketing fees will range from $14.00 to $24.00 and there will be an additional charge for wristband shipping. Every Bamboozle fan will recieve their wristband in advance of the event, via UPS or other shipping provider.
This year we will be debuting a intelligent wristband technology which we expect to provide a better experience for all our fans. This wristband is used at all other major festivals and is something we had to employ as we move to such a unique site and setting as we have found in Asbury Park.
I would like to assure everyone that every VIP package was put together to offer the most unique experience that any festival can offer. Most festivals offer camping, we are offering hotel rooms within the festival site compound. Our partners, Arist Arena, are the best fan club providers. Their staff is dedicated to detail as we plan the 2012 Asbury Park anniversary. With so many new faces expected, we are expanding our options as most major festivals do in regards to VIP Experience. I will be reviewing and making sure the packages deliver what they promise and hope to provide some incredible performances in select venues, that only these packages will offer.
As your representative and so-called leader, it saddens me to deliver the news of increased prices and fees. While i don’t expect this note to change anyones opinion, i would only ask that you keep an open mind until the full line up, plan of attack and layouts are revealed.
I am lucky to be surrounded by such a talented staff this year that is going to make this year, one i will never forget. it an honor to work with everyone who has been involved in the relocation over the past four months. many who have never even attended the festival, rallied support as, not only does this return the spotlight to a historic musical icon that is so often overlooked, but also shows the development of an oceanfront project and its commitment to moving forward with music, arts and entertainment in the forefront.
This festival will be the most expensive festival ever produced in this states history. Beachfront concerts are unique and require large and expensive resources to safely and properly execute. All of our planning has been focused on providing a dynamic festival experience that rivals that of any other event in the country. Our site alone will set the backdrop for one of the most amazing oceanfront events ever.
For those of you who will not be joining us, i want to thank you for your years of support. I wish you all the best and hope that you find your way back to Bamboozle.
To all the fans who will be joining us in Asbury, I look forward to making music history.
From me to The Bamboozle.
John D.

Lake Como Day Fireworks & Holme 2011 rock the lake

IMG_1478

I went to Lake Como Day with my son, it was very nice and had the feel of a local town festival, with a few local merchants selling food and crafts at reasonable prices. A nice change from some of the other fall festival where vendors are being charged such high fees, that they increase craft and food prices to compensate for the high booth fees that outside promoters are now charging

Here are the fireworks photos I took Saturday night in Lake Como.

Montego Bay Belmar NJ, reunion Party at The Headliner

Montego Bay Belmar NJ, reunion Party at The Headliner



The world knows all about “Jersey Shore” club culture, thanks to the MTV show.

But where did the Shore guido club culture start? Folks attending the Montego Bay Cocktail Lounge & Hotel reunion Friday, Sept. 16 at the Headliner, Route 35 south, Neptune, have an idea.

“Club culture reinvented itself at the Jersey Shore (at Montego Bay),” said DJ Freddie Palumbo.

The club, located on Fourth and Ocean avenues in Belmar, brought a high-energy, post-disco dance music vibe to the Shore club scene. The formula attracted local club goers as well as fans from North Jersey and New York.

“Logistics played a big part in it,” Palumbo said, “People from up north, the guidos, came down to the Jersey Shore and it was a natural right there on the beach. You could come into the nightclub right off the beach.”

Still, the hair and the arms were big, no matter what time of day it was. Since then, the Shore club scene has been filled with T-shirts and jeans – and dance music, too.

The club was open from 1981 to ’87, when it closed after Belmar instituted a midnight closing time, effectively tapping down the borough’s nightlife. Co-owner and general manager Gordon M. Long cited the midnight closing time as the reason the club was sold in reports at the time. Condominiums stand on the site now.

But the culture that Montego Bay helped to popularize lives on. The Montego Bay reunion will feature DJs Tony Monte and Palumbo, a slide-show montage, and the classic dance music of the ’80s.

Admission is $5.

“The response we’ve been getting for this has been staggering,” Palumbo said.
