Bruce Springsteen<\/a> played a surprise two-hour set at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey on Saturday evening to raise funds for Boston College. Backed by former Bon Jovi\/Asbury Jukes guitarist Bobby Bandiera and his band, with Max Weinberg of the E Street Band handling drums for some of the evening, his set mixed classics like \u201cBorn To Run,\u201d \u201cSpirit In The Night\u201d and \u201cDancing In The Dark\u201d with covers like \u201c634-5789\u201d and \u201cTwist and Shout.\u201d Here is fan-shot video of a solo acoustic \u201cThunder Road,\u201d which closed out the evening.<\/p>\n

Springsteen played numerous private Stone Pony benefit shows throughout the 2000s to raise money for his children\u2019s high school and their colleges. But he hasn\u2019t had a child in school for quite some time and the last one took place in 2011, making this one a bigger surprise than usual. The show also marked his first time playing inside the Stone Pony since 2011, though he did play on the outdoor stage with Southside Johnny in July. It was also his longest performance since the conclusion of his Broadway show a little under a year ago.<\/p>\n

Next up for Springsteen is a December 9th appearance at the 30th Anniversary Rainforest Benefit<\/a> at New York\u2019s Beacon Theater, where he\u2019ll share the stage with Sting, John Mellencamp, Bob Geldof, Shaggy and a reunited Eurythmics. The show has an 1980s\/1990s theme, and if they stick with tradition, expect Springsteen to play some unexpected covers from that era. He has no public plans after that show, but he\u2019s said in numerous recent interviews<\/a> that he plans on recording a new E Street Band album and touring with them in 2020.<\/p>\n
