\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\tBruce Springsteen returned to the OceanFirst Bank Center in Monmouth, New Jersey, on Friday for the second and final night of the ‘Music America: The Songs that Shaped Us’ concert, a celebration of 250 years of American music, and the opening of the Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music. The first evening<\/a> focused on American music pioneers like Robert Johnson, Hank Williams and Woody Guthrie, and this one moved the clock towards latter acts like Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Dion DiMucci, and Public Enemy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\tDion and Public Enemy were part of the stacked bill, which also included Jon Bon Jovi, Nils Lofgren, Darlene Love, Jackson Browne, Gary Clark Jr., Darlene Love, and Sheryl Crow. Once again, Little Steven’s Disciples of Souls served as the house band, and Bob Santelli, Director of the Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music, served as the host. Just like the first show, Springsteen watched the performances from the audience, and came onstage throughout the night for a series of once-in-a-lifetime duets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
