While Beach Boys’ founding member and creative mastermind Brian Wilson continues touring in support of his latest release, he was joined by a very special guest in Camden, NJ last night, Bruce Springsteen. The moment with two of America’s greatest songwriters on one stage was certainly one for the ages.
Springsteen made his appearance during the show’s encore, and Wilson’s staff seemed a bit unprepared for the momentous occasion. Stagehands scrambled to find Springsteen a guitar at first, but he settled in nicely and joined in for two songs, “Barbara Ann” and “Surfin U.S.A”.
