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:
