Bruce Springsteen Jams At The Official Reopening Of Asbury Lanes

(ASBURY PARK, NJ) -- It's often been said that venues in Asbury Park do not truly exist until Bruce Springsteen drops by.  Having him spotted at a venue puts it on one level and having him play there puts it on an even higher level.  The newly renovated Asbury Lanes wasted no time to reach the higher echelon by inviting him to be a special guest at the venue's offical reopening on June 18th.  The night's lineup was already stacked with Portugal. The Man and Tangiers Blues Band.  But, as many expected, Springsteen wasn't listed as a special guest just to make an appearance - he was there to play.

Springsteen came out, welcomed the crowd and said, "It's been a joy watching what's been happening in town over the past 10, 15, 20 years.  A shout out to all of the people who were here when nobody else was - the art community down on Cookman, the gay and LGBTQ community who supported Asbury when it was down and out."

"I walk down the boardwalk now and I feel like the Ghost of Christmas Past," Springsteen continued.  "But that's ok because it's fun to watch Asbury's future unfold in front of me."
