With Gary U.S. Bonds: JOLÉ BLON / QUARTER TO THREE - HAVING A PARTY

The third annual Light of Day Benefit has its third straight appearance from Springsteen. Held once again at the Tradewinds in Sea Bright, the Light of Day show brought together a host of Jersey-style rockers to benefit the Parkinson's Disease Foundation (and celebrate organizer Bob Benjamin's birthday while they were at it). Springsteen came on at 10:40 to play for nearly an hour with Joe Grushecky & The Houserockers, on a few of their songs. Bruce takes the stage to perform a verse of "I Can't Turn You Loose" before diving into Grushecky's "Never Be Enough Time". They are joined by Garland Jeffreys for "96 Tears" and "Wild In The Streets," and by Gary U.S. Bonds and others for a set-closing "The Twist", which includes a sampling of "Peppermint Twist" in the midsection. But that wasn't all from the Boss. In the midnight hour, he comes back to the stage to play "Jolé Blon" and "Quarter To Three - Having A Party" with Bonds. With the Tradewinds scheduled to close, this is the last Light of Day benefit to be held there.
