Bruce Springsteen joins Alejandro Escovedo at Stone Pony

Bruce Springsteen played three songs with Alejandro Esvocedo at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park on Friday night.
They performed “Always A Friend,” “Faith” and the Rolling Stones’  “Beast of Burden.”

Springsteen had performed “Always a Friend” once before with Escovdeo, at an E Street Band show in Houston in 2008.

“Faith” is from Escovedo’s latest album, “Street Songs of Love” and  Springsteen joins Esovedo on the song on the album.

It is believed this is the first time Springsteen has ever played “Beast of Burden.”  Reports say Bruce had two awesome guitar solos on the song.
It was the first Springsteen guest appearance (outside of private benefits) at the Stone Pony since he joined Mike Ness on May 17, 2008.
