Steven Van Zandt famously wrote the horn arrangement for "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out", but the song has never been performed as it was tonight: As a Springsteen/Van Zandt duet. Van Zandt and his Disciples Of Soul were headlining at Red Bank's Count Basie Theatre (for which Van Zandt and his wife Maureen serve on the board of trustees). Stevie invited Bruce, "as a friend without work," to join him as a surprise guest for the last four songs. Among them was the duet on "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out". Bruce also performed on "It's Been A Long Time", "I Don't Want To Go Home" and the show's encore, the Marvin Gaye hit "Can I Get A Witness".

See Bruce Springsteen Surprise Crowd at Steven Van Zandt’s Jersey Show Two rockers stomp through “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out,” “It’s Been a Long Time” with potent brass section

Bruce Springsteen joined longtime E Street Band guitarist Steven Van Zandt for four songs during a Memorial Day Weekend show at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, New Jersey, according to Variety. Van Zandt is touring his first solo album in 18 years, Soulfire.

In fan-shot footage, Springsteen swung his arms joyously, trading off verses with Van Zandt and huddling nose-to-nose over the microphone stand. Van Zandt played clipped, ringing chords on his guitar as a massive horn section blasted away behind him.

The two Jersey rockers played hometown favorite “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out” from Springsteen’s Born to Run LP, “It’s Been a Long Time” from Southside Johnny’s Better Days album and “I Don’t Want to Go Home,” the title track to Southside Johnny’s eponymous debut (which Van Zandt revisits on Soulfire). They closed the show with a cover of Marvin Gaye’s “Can I Get a Witness.”

Before releasing Soulfire on May 19th, Van Zandt thought long and hard about what kind of return he wanted to make after an 18-year absence. “I was thinking, ‘Who do I want to be?'” he told Rolling Stone. “‘Who am I really?’ And the thing most identified with me, and the thing that is most unique, is that soul-meets-rock thing. So I went back to that.”

“This record is me doing me.”
