In what is being already an annual tradition, Bruce Springsteen, accompanied by Bobby Bandiera and his band, gave a concert last Saturday in Asbury Park for the Ranney School, where their children studied. With help from Patti Scialfa and Southside Johnny, Bruce sang his own songs and a good amount of covers, offering a varied repertoire of soul, pop and rock, including «Cover Me» «Boy From New York City», «The Fever», «Sherry Darling», «Tell Me», «Higher and Higher», «Dertoit Medley», «Oh, Pretty Woman» «Pink Cadillac» and others. The performance, held at the legendary Stone Pony club, lasted about two hours..
