oh the old Donovan's Reef...... the best! This is one of my first big memories living in Sea Bright...... moved in next door to Donovan's in February of that year. Had my mind blown on Labor day
How cool must this have been. Just hanging out on Labor Day, having a party with a band. And up walks Bruce Springsteen to sit in on one of his iconic songs.
yeah, this is off the charts... energy is so beautiful. great camera angle makes it perfect also! thanks brian for posting, so wonderful seeing you and the band so overjoyed (on this song and the other two also!)
1) How am I seeing this for the first time now when it's been on here for 10 years? 2) Can we please all appreciate how stone-cold solid that drummer is? 3) Who let 18-year-old Sean Penn on the stage?

It's so strange seeing this rock icon who's incredibly un-star like. He clearly doesn't care & just wants to have fun. He'd probably be content joining some random homeless guy performing Dylan songs ;-) 2:50 - He obviously noticed you. Haha
oh the old Donovan's Reef...... the best! This is one of my first big memories living in Sea Bright...... moved in next door to Donovan's in February of that year. Had my mind blown on Labor day
Was behind the bar that day. Missed the show but was 5 feet away
Remember you
man.... Bruce just knows he can light up everyones summer just by randomly showing up like this. Pure fun
If I was there, I would have lost my mind. I am feeling all teary just watching this 10 years later.
Sax player and drummer fuckin owned this.
yep.... they were right there - good playing guys
That’s what I thought. They both had the this song down perfectly.
How cool must this have been. Just hanging out on Labor Day, having a party with a band. And up walks Bruce Springsteen to sit in on one of his iconic songs.
This is more bad ass than words can describe
Now this is a Westminster party worth attending !
Raw Springsteen, the music of the people, my soul glows to know I was there for the Springsteen era
Fantastic!!! Tight band and great way to step it up with Bruce. Rehearsed? Excellent! Improvised... even better! Kudos gents!
Love them from Thailandddd
This is amazing! Happiness and joy... Only 8 short days before 9/11.
BRUCE ALWAYS COMES HOME TO US IN JERSEY. LOVE THIS GUY
simply awesome!
How cool was that!
BRUUUUCE! The BOSS shows up and the Spirit moves!!!! 👍🏼
This man gives happiness !!!
Location: Donovan's Reef, Sea Bright, NJ; Date: Labor day 2001 (which I think was September 3, 2001)
That's crazy to think that was 19 years ago
In a word "AWESOME!"
I would have cut off a limb to have been there.Wow!!!
Pure Joy
How cool is that . Great job guys.
thats just effing awesome...i wonder who has more fun at something like this - bruce or his backing band!?!
That sax player :)
Part of Bruce's magic is he is ALWAYS the one having having most fun on stage :D
This is epic
Oh this is so joyfull :) i Love this!
Bruce is awesome. He doesnt care who you are. He'd probably jam with some 15 yr old kid.. True legend.
Bruce is a Democrat, he can't be that nice!
yeah, this is off the charts...
energy is so beautiful.
great camera angle makes it perfect also!
thanks brian for posting,
so wonderful seeing you and the band so overjoyed
(on this song and the other two also!)
Lovely musical performance !
So cool
Que legal !!!!! Muito bom !!
I was NOT there. Wow, someone honest. Wish I were.
Bruce fans take care of each other no matter who you are or what color or religious views
1) How am I seeing this for the first time now when it's been on here for 10 years?
2) Can we please all appreciate how stone-cold solid that drummer is?
3) Who let 18-year-old Sean Penn on the stage?
Drummer is max. Cool guy
Another "Legends of Springsteen" moment (a nod to the old Ben Stiller Show).
@KleWdSide haha yea, ive seen him join random people.. the coolest guy to ever live! and the sax player NAILED it, the big man would be proud!
god with us
ME-RA-VI-GLIO-SO!!!
Wow Sax dude led the way.

When some dude in a tank butchers a classic and the one who wrote it is so wealthy he couldn't give a shit! Because he is having a blast!!!!
he is here on business ...patti lol
I miss the old Donovan's!!!!
increidble to think 9/11 happened a week after this ;( on a happier note bruce truely is the best
He looks super healthy
Spread out now Rosie, doctor come cut loose her mama's reins
You know playin' blind man's bluff is a little baby's game
You pick up little dynamite, I'll pick up little gun
And together we're gonna go out tonight and make that highway run
You don't have to call me lieutenant, Rosie, and I don't want to be your son
The only lover I'm ever gonna need's your soft, sweet, little girl's tongue
And Rosie, you're the one
Dynamite's in the belfry, baby, playin' with the bats
Little gun's downtown in front of Woolworth's tryin' out his attitude on all the cats
Papa's on the corner, waitin' for the bus
Mama, she's home in the window, waitin' up for us
She'll be there in that chair when they wrestle her upstairs, 'cause you know we ain't gonna come
I ain't here on business, baby, I'm only here for fun
And Rosie, you're the one
Rosalita, jump a little higher
Senorita, come sit by my fire
I just want to be your lover, ain't no liar
Rosalita, you're my stone desire
Jack the Rabbit and Weak Knee Willie, don't you know they're gonna be there
Ah Sloppy Sue and Big Bone Billy, they'll be coming up for air
We're gonna play some pool, skip some school
Act real cool, stay out all night, it's gonna feel alright
So Rosie, come out tonight, little baby, come out tonight
Windows are for cheaters, chimneys for the poor
Oh, closets are for hangers, winners use the door
So use it, Rosie, that's what it's there for
Rosalita, jump a little higher
Senorita, come sit by my fire
I just want to be your lover, ain't no liar
Rosalita, you're my stone desire, alright
Now, I know your mama, she don't like me, 'cause I play in Bruce Springsteen's band
And I know your daddy, he don't dig me, but he never did understand
Your papa lowered the boom, he locked you in your room, I'm comin' to lend a hand
I'm comin' to liberate you, confiscate you, I want to be your man
Someday we'll look back on this and it will all seem funny
But now you're sad, your mama's mad
And your papa says he knows that I don't have any money
Oh, your papa says he knows that I don't have any money
Oh, so your daddy says he knows that I don't have any money
Well, tell him this is his last chance to get his daughter in a fine romance
Because a record company, Rosie, just gave me a big advance
And my tires were slashed and I almost crashed, but the Lord had mercy
And my machine, she's a dud, out stuck in the mud somewhere in the swamps of Jersey
Well, hold on tight, stay up all night, 'cause Rosie, I'm comin' on strong
By the time we meet the morning light, I will hold you in my arms
I know a pretty little place in Southern California, down San Diego way
There's a little cafe, where they play guitars all night and all day
You can hear them in the back room strummin'
So hold tight, baby, 'cause don't you know daddy's comin'
Everybody sing
Rosalita, jump a little higher
Senorita, come sit by my fire
I just want to be your lover, ain't no liar
Rosalita, you're my stone desire
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Can't believe it...maybe I could hire Bruce for my wedding???
no way, this man IS R&R (unless you show me Jagger doin' the same..)
You don't cut off Bruce at 1:56! Cmon now!!!!
When was this incredible meeting of Jersey legends?! Job well done, fellas. BOSS quality!
Umm you mean Legend?
Proletari americani grandi
which was the exact location and date? ;))
Donovans Reef Sea Bright NJ...Back in the day Garry lived across the street and Clarence was a condo or two down the beach.
2 days before 9/11. 😞😞😞
It's so strange seeing this rock icon who's incredibly un-star like. He clearly doesn't care & just wants to have fun. He'd probably be content joining some random homeless guy performing Dylan songs ;-)
2:50 - He obviously noticed you. Haha
Very good observation. Down to Earth guy !
Bruce messes up his own song about half a dozen times lol
CROWD NEEDS 2 STOP SCREAMING. I HATE THAT
The guy in the sleeveless white T shirt can't sing to save his life.
Yeah, but he sang with Springsteen, and you didn't.
mrfester42 yea but he got to sing Rosalita with the boss !!!’
mrfester42 he needs a haircut
