Jukes at B.B.King's in NYC, NY

logo_the_wonderbarThe shows of Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes at BB KING’S Nightclub in Manhattan, NYC are always somewhat special since some years already. Two shows, back to back at the same venue, with almost the same audience both nights usually means that Southside and the Jukes put some extra attention in making each night special for themselves and everybody.

This year an old friend from the neighborhood came by and joined the band the second night… the original mastermind and godfather himself…

Here’s the report from BENZ on the Blog THE WONDERBAR…

Last night, Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes played their second of two shows at B.B. King’s Blues Club & Grille in New York City. During the encores, a special guest decided to drop by and play a few songs with the band. Now, it may not be the special guest that you’re thinking of, but who is gonna complain when Little Steven Van Zandt jumps up on stage? Not a sole!

Stevie played the following songs with the band: Hearts of Stone / Forever / Soothe Me / Shake ‘Em Down. It must have been special to see him play “Hearts of Stone” with the Jukes considering his history with Johnny, and also his history with the guy who wrote the song (though his name escapes me at the moment :) )

It’s a second hand account of a report, but it’s a nice blog, so I recommend reding the whole piece at: THE WONDERBAR
