Review (Njpac) : The show was a benefit for several hunger organizations, and part of Springsteen?s ?92-?93 tour, which took place after he disbanded the E Street Band and put together another group of musicians, with only keyboardist Roy Bittan remaining. This show, however, saw guest appearances by five past and future E Streeters (Clarence Clemons, Steven Van Zandt, Patti Scialfa, Max Weinberg, Soozie Tyrell) plus Southside Johnny, Joe Ely and The Miami Horns (Richie ?LaBamba? Rosenberg, Ed Manion, Mark Pender, Mike Spengler, Joey Stann). Clemons took the stage during ?Tenth Avenue Freeze-out,? walking out with his saxophone when Springsteen got to the ?Big Man joined the band? line. The thunderous crowd reaction is frequently cited as the loudest ever at a Springsteen concert. Rarities performed during the show include ?I Ain?t Got No Home? and ?Settle for Love? (both with Ely), ?Blowin Down This Road? (a Woody Guthrie cover, performed with Ely and others) and ?Satan?s Jeweled Crown? (written by The Louvin Brothers).
