Here’s a little something for y’all to hop on: A whole bunch of Jersey kids throwin’ a benefit for one of their own. Rather than me blather on, I’ll let the notes I pulled off the ‘Net best explain it. Suffice it to say, this is a really great show and excellently recorded. Music links are at the end of each disk list. These are self-extracting zip files – click twice and the magic should happen or use a program like WinRar. Since there was no art with this, I pulled together a small batch of (New) Jersey images for you to make your own art. Enjoy!

“The "Come Together: Jon Bon Jovi & Friends" benefit concert was organized by the Long Branch Police Department, “The Asbury Park Press”, and FPI Concerts, along with Jon Bon Jovi. The concert was to honor slain Long Branch police officer Sgt. Patrick King and raise money for the “Sgt. Patrick King Memorial Fund” to provide for his family. King, 45-year-old father of two young boys, was fatally shot on 20 Nov 1997 by a fugitive who had vowed to kill himself and a police officer rather than be captured and returned to jail.

Twenty musicians with ties to the Jersey shore music scene answered Jon Bon Jovi's call, including Bruce Springsteen, Patti Scialfa and several members of the then-disbanded E Street Band (Clarence Clemons, Danni Frederici, Patti Scialfa, Little Steven, and Max Weinberg), Southside Johnny, Bobby Bandiera, and Richie Sambora among others.
Actor Danny DeVito was the event's MC.

This was a near-reunion of the fabled E Street Band and Bruce's first full-length electric gig following the acoustic “The Ghost Of Tom Joad” solo tour. Springsteen spent much of (or maybe all) the night onstage, singing or playing guitar only.”
