Springsteen joined Escovedo for "Always a Friend," a cover of The Rolling Stones' "Beast of Burden" and "Faith," a track from Escovedo's new studio album “Street Songs of Love” that features a guest spot by Bruce.
Saturday’s appearance marks Springsteen’s first non-charity show performance at the legendary New Jersey club since a May 2008 cameo at a Mike Ness show.
Springsteen and Escovedo share the same manager in Jon Landau. Escovedo previously joined Springsteen and The E Street Band for “Always A Friend” at a show in Houston in 2008.
This is reportedly Springsteen’s first public performance of the Stones’ classic.

Escovedo’s long and storied career includes two influential roots rock/alternative country bands from the 1980s – Rank And File and True Believers – both I used to play all the time in college radio back in the day (and still love ‘em!); check ‘em out if you get ever get the chance.
