Bruce played at Light of Day benefit
Published 2003-11-04
Better late than never... Last Saturday Bruce could be seen on the Stone Pony stage rocking his butt off at the fourth annual Light of Day benefit show. He first joined Garland Jeffreys for a few songs, then later reappeared during Joe Grushecky's set. That also included a duet between Bruce and Michael J. Fox on "Light of Day" in what must have been a very touching moment for everyone present. The song "Light of Day" was the title song in a movie from 1987 starring Joan Jett and, you guessed it, Michael J. Fox. Since then Michael J. Fox has been diagnozed with Parkinson's disease, which made his appearance at the concert all the more poignant. As usual, the proceeds from the concert went to the Parkinson's Disease Foundation.
Bruce was in fine form and was on stage for close to a couple of hours. He participated on the following songs:
With Garland Jeffreys:
Hail Hail Rock and Roll
96 Tears
With Joe Grushecky and the Houserockers
Never Be Enough Time
Homestead
From Small Things
Code of Silence
Fire
Talking to the King
Johnny 99
Murder Incorporated
Pumping Iron
Happy Birthday (to Bob Benjamin, founder of the PDF
Light of Day
Dirty Water
Twist and Shout
