Bruce Springsteen<\/a> made a surprise appearance Saturday evening near the end of Southside Johnny\u2019s annual July 4th weekend concert at the Stone Pony Summer Stage in Asbury Park, New Jersey. He came onstage to join his old friend on a spirited rendition of \u201cSherry Darling\u201d and stuck around for seemingly unrehearsed takes on \u201cThe Fever,\u201d \u201cTalk to Me,\u201d \u201cKitty\u2019s Back,\u201d \u2018I Don\u2019t Wanna Go Home,\u201d \u2018Mona\/Not Fade Away\u201d and \u201cHaving a Party.\u201d<\/p>\n

Southside Johnny and Springsteen rose out of the late Sixties Asbury Park rock scene and have played together countless times over the years, but this was their longest set in many years. E Street Band bassist Garry Tallent played earlier in the night on the Stone Pony Summer Stage, and Springsteen joined him for his original song \u201cDirty Rotten Shame\u201d<\/a> even though he barely seemed to know it. It was the first time Springsteen had ever played with Tallent at one of his solo shows.<\/p>\n
