Bob Dylan and Gary US Bonds were among surprise guests during Bruce Springsteen's Shea Stadium performance!

NEW YORK (Top40 Charts) - Bruce Springsteen ended a 14-month concert tour near where he began geographically - a quick pink Cadillac ride from his New Jersey home - but in a markedly different political climate.

Springsteen and his E Street Band, with Bob Dylan as a one-song guest, wrapped it up Saturday on a Shea Stadium stage, across the Hudson River from where their tour began in August last year in northern New Jersey. In the intervening months, they performed for more than 2 million people around the world.
"Welcome to the last dance, I'm getting a little misty right about now," Springsteen said to nearly 50,000 fans.

He left with the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, a strong memory, and returned with the problems of the war in Iraq. The tour kicked off August 7, 2002, in East Rutherford, New Jersey's, Continental Airlines Arena and included 120 shows in arenas and stadiums across the U.S., Europe, Canada and Australia.
"It's a good time to be good, vigilant citizens, demanding accountability from our leaders," he said. "Taking time to search out for the truth is the American way. I learned that from Bob Dylan."

Dylan was a surprise guest during Springsteen's first encore, drawing a huge roar from the crowd! He performed "Highway 61 Revisited" with the E Street Band before disappearing offstage.
The show also welcomed Willie Nile, Gary "U.S." Bonds and Garland Jeffries.
