 ATLANTA (B. Springsteen Fans Website) - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band were joined onstage Monday night (December 1) in Atlanta by Brendan O'Brien, producer of The Rising. O'Brien came out during the concert's first encore, playing rhythm guitar for "Glory Days" and "Born To Run." "Should we keep rockin'? Let's produce!" Springsteen shouted to the crowd filling Philips Arena. Brendan O'Brien's production credits include releases by Pearl Jam, Aerosmith, Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Train, Stone Temple Pilots, Rage Against The Machine, and the Black Crowes. He worked with Springsteen and the group on The Rising earlier this year at Atlanta's Southern Tracks Recording. The Atlanta show also saw during the encores a tour premiere of "Where The Bands Are," first played live on the band's 1999-2000 reunion tour, and featured on the 1998 boxed set, Tracks. Springsteen and company hit Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh on Wednesday (December 4), then play the Air-Canada Center in Toronto on Thursday (December 5).
