Bruce Surprises Asbury Park Crowd

Rolling Stone reports that Springsteen was the surprise guest at the Atonement Lutheran Church on Saturday afternoon for a panel discussion about the history of the Asbury Park music scene. Sitting alongside Southside "Johnny" Lyon, Bobby Thomas of The Visionaries and singer Nicky Addeo, Springsteen spent 90 minutes talking about the city's rich musical past.

He then later turned up at the Wonder Bar to join all of the artists for a six-song set of covers that included "Stand By Me," "Gloria" and "C.C Rider." Former E Street band drummer Vini "Mad Dog" Lopez was behind the kit for the whole set, and he sang lead on "Johnny B. Goode."
