Following a now yearly tradition Bruce gave a special benefit concert last night at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey, for his kids’ high school, The Ranney School. It was a private event, at $3,000 per couple and for student’s parents only. Bruce and Patti performed with the Bobby Bandiera Band for nearly two hours. The set list was similar to the previous years’ shows (which were benefits for the RDCS school), including «Spirit in the Night», «Brilliant Disguise», «Seven Nights to Rock», «Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out» or «Twist & Shout», among many others. Last night there were some not-so-usual songs included, such as «Dancing in the Dark», «Cover Me» or a cover of The Ad-libs classic hit «The Boy from New York City», sung by Patti. Southside Johnny guested too, and sang a few songs, including another classic: «The Fever».

Check out the full set list and another photo at our Concerts page.

Thanks to «T» for the photos and report.

Both artists met on Wednesday April 18th for a video-shoot for the song «Broken Radio», the duet featured on Malin’s latest album ‘Glitter in the Gutter’. The photo features Bruce and Jesse at the studio where the video was shot.

Changing subject, let’s take a look at Bruce’s current whereabouts. Recording engineer Nick DiDia‘s manager recently confirmed Springsteen is recording new songs in Atlanta at Southern Tracks studio where Didia works with producer Brendan O’Brien. Nick is one of the industry’s most prestigious sound engineers, having recorded and mixed albums for Pearl Jam, The Offspring, Rage Against the Machine, Korn and The Wallflowers, among many others. Of course, he’s also previously worked for Springsteen, doing mix and recording work for The Rising and Devils & Dust. This information confirms what has been rumoured for awhile about Springsteen working on a new album in Atlanta.

Here’s Clarence playing Springsteen’s «Paradise by the C» at Monday’s Walk of Fame concert in Norfolk, VA at the Roper Performing Arts Center. He looks ready for some action, doesn’t he?
