As has been tradition for several years now, Bruce got on stage last night at the Stone Pony to do what he could to raise funds for one of his kid's school - this time, as a first, the Boston College where Bruce's oldest, Evan, is a sophomore.

Anyway, as we all know, the only way Bruce knows how to raise funds, is to play some rock 'n' roll and hope people - primarly other parents - will pay the $1000+ ticket price. Apparently, they will, because the place is usually packed. That was no doubt also the case last night when Bruce, backed by Bobbie Bandiera's band (featuring Max Weinberg on drums) and Southside Johnny - but without the usual appearance by Patti Scialfa - played for almost three hours. Over the years, a standard core setlist for these events has emerged that include cover songs like "634-5789" and "Seven Nights to Rock" and  Bruce originals like "Pink Cadillac" and "The Fever", but last night did seem to have several new additions, including "Sandy", "Growin' Up", "My Lucky Day", and "Working on a Dream". Overall, however, the concept was the same as always: full speed ahead. Check out the complete setlist.
