Bruce Springsteen Performs at Annual Fundraiser for Parkinson's Research

Bruce Springsteen Performs at Annual Fundraiser for Parkinson's Research

On January 14, Bruce Springsteen thrilled the crowd with his “surprise” performance at the annual Light of Day music festival in Asbury Park, New Jersey, raising funds for Parkinson’s research — including The Michael J. Fox Foundation.

Founded by artist manager, music industry veteran and Parkinson’s patient Bob Benjamin, the Light of Day Foundation is named after a Springsteen song that was the title of a 1987 movie starring Michael J. Fox and Joan Jett. Each year, the Foundation hosts a concert, which has featured appearances by Willie Nelson, Jakob Dylan, Pete Yorn and Michael J. Fox.

The Boss played to an ecstatic crowd for an epic 2 hours, performing his hits "Incident on 57th Street," "Thunder Road," and the always crowd-pleasing "Twist and Shout." Fortunately, for our sake, his magnetic performance lives on in perpetuity on YouTube.
