Bruce Springsteen Plays Surprise Show At Jersey Shore Bar

ASBURY PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) -- For patrons of a Jersey shore bar, Saturday night was one of those glory days.

Bruce Springsteen showed up at the Wonder Bar in Asbury Park to give a surprise show that lasted for nearly two hours. The Boss performed 15 songs, mixing in favorites that spanned his career. He concluded the show with "Light of Day," which he dedicated to the huge crowd of people watching from the sidewalk outside the venue because they couldn't get in to the packed bar.

Springsteen's appearance came during a show by Joe Grushecky and the Houserockers, a band he has appeared with on numerous times over the years.
