Bruce Springsteen made a surprise appearance at the Stone Pony, the iconic New Jersey club that helped launch his career more than 50 years ago. Decades after first playing at the Asbury Park Boardwalk venue, the rock legend joined Steven Van Zandt and his band, the Disciples of Soul, for Why Hunger’s 50th annual Hungerthon benefit on December 14, NJ. com reported.
Springsteen, 76, didn’t miss a beat as a fire alarm went off and temporarily cut the power. “I don’t care if that f------ fire alarm goes off,” the singer told the crowd, “I know it’s time to go, but I don’t want to go home,” he added as he performed the 1976 Southside Johnny song, “I Don’t Want to Go Home.”
Springsteen also performed his 1975 hit “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out,” as well as the holiday classics ”Merry Christmas Baby" and “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town.”

“Amazing!! Bruuuuuuce!!” one fan wrote in the comment section.
“Much needed joy! ❤️?❤️?” another wrote.
“Now the Universe makes sense again!??❤️ ?” a third chimed in.
“So what you’re trying to say is that I need to go to the stone pony everyday,” another fan wrote.
Springsteen once talked about his nostalgic feelings about the Stone Pony in an interview with The New York Times. The “Hungry Heart” singer revealed that he first visited the venue in the mid-1970s to see Van Zandt and Southside Johnny play.
“I might have went up there to see them, or to see some local bands, local guys. And so they had a regular residence at the Pony, I think three nights a week, and so we used to all go and hang out there and play,” he said in 2018. “It was a place where the local community musicians went.”
The music legend explained that the bands that played at the Stone Pony “gave the place atmosphere.”
“I went just because my friends were playing there,” Springsteen added. “And they made it conducive for you to come and stay and hang out. Jack [Roig] and Butch [Pielka] were running the place at the time, and they were just friendly bar owners and were glad to see you, and glad to have you playing there or sitting in. It was just a friendly place.”
