First up, I’m stoked by the quick plug that this blog got at Stone Pony London, one of the main discussion boards for Springsteen fans, and also one of my favorite web surfs.

While I was at SPL, I came across news of ANOTHER really cool show, to go with the really cool show that Bruce played last week. You know, the one where he played both of the entire Darkness and BTR albums back to back?

BE TRUE TO YOUR SCHOOL
Springsteen’s annual benefit at the Pony, backed by Bandiera & band
While the Magic tour is about to ramp up from arenas to stadiums, Bruce has been spending this break doing some serious downsizing — last week it was the Count Basie Theatre, and last night it was all the way down to the Stone Pony. Bruce was back on the Pony stage for another school benefit on Tuesday night, once again backed by Bobby Bandiera’s band (with horns), and joined by Southside Johnny and Patti Scialfa. By now we’re familiar with the basics of the annual set — classic covers like “634-5789,” “Seven Nights to Rock,” and “Twist and Shout” intermingling with houserockin’ rave-ups from Bruce’s own catalog — this year clocking in at two hours and 20 minutes. “Hold On, I’m Coming” was a particular stand-out, with Bruce and Bobby doing their best Sam & Dave. Patti had a great turn on “It Takes Two,” with Bobby shining on the guitar solo, and her vocal on “All I Have to Do is Dream” was another highlight. As for originals, “Girls in Their Summer Clothes” was added to the mix, and this private benefit for parents and teachers continues to bring out some otherwise oft-overlooked tracks. There was “Cover Me,” “Rendezvous,” “The Fever,” “From Small Things,” “Pink Cadillac,” and an all-too-rare dip into the ’92 songbook for “Man’s Job.” “Thunder Road” may not be a rarity, but try it played solo-electric in the intimate confines of the Pony — ah, if only we all could — as a small crowd sings along. Soundchecked but not played: “Sugar, Sugar,” “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg.”
