David Bryan at Stone Pony this past weekend

~ Thanks Becky for the heads up :)

Our golden-curled, and golden-throated fave was in Ashbury Park this weekend for the 35th anniversary of the Stone Pony. (Suppose the SP t-shirt JB wore when he played with Bruce was from the grand opening? lol)

He spent some time in the audience before going on stage to play with Bobby...

Like Becky said, this vid was a bit annoying, and causes a kink in the neck, but is totally worth it :) I've ripped the audio from it, and will post it later -- can't do that from work...

Some comments from the SSJ message board:

The Stone Pony without the poles and the higher ceiling looks so much bigger and the new sound system was outstanding. The place was packed!! Bob Burger was on the top of his game and had a different guitarist since Leahy couldn't make it. He did mostly his own songs and he was very well received!!

Of special note was the tireless SSJ drummer, Joe Bellia, who played continuously with both Bob Burger & Bobby Bandiera the entire evening. He never lost a beat.

Bobby did some selections from the brothers show he will do at the end of Feb at Count Basie. He was likewise sensational and had some horns join toward the end inc.

While there was speculation that Bruce and SSJ were going to show --that was not the case. However we were fortunate to have David Bryan, Bon Jovi's keyboard player joined Bobby on stage --he sang and performed, to the delight of the crowd.
Glad to see many Jukes fans there.
Awesome night!!!!!!!!!!!
