New Springsteen archival release is guest-filled ’96 Asbury Park concert

The cover of Bruce Springsteen’s new archival album shows Danny Federici and Soozie Tyrell, in addition to Springsteen.

The latest release in Bruce Springsteen’s series of archival recordings is his Nov. 26, 1996 acoustic concert at the Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park. It was the closing night of a three-night stand there — which was part of his The Ghost of Tom Joad Tour — and featured a whopping seven guest performers, including a bunch of E Street Band members and old Asbury Park friends: Steven Van Zandt, Danny Federici, Vini Lopez, Patti Scialfa, Soozie Tyrell, Richard Blackwell and Big Danny Gallagher.
