Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes- The Fever- Asbury Park 8-8-79

After being released by his record company following delivery in 1978 of the essential Hearts of Stone  (rated 4.5 stars by AllMusic.com, a perfect five stars by me), Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes’ next label decided to celebrate the 1979 release of The Jukes  with a promotional concert on the boardwalk. Here John Lyon fronts Miami Steve Van Zandt and the Jukes through an extended version of Bruce Springsteen’s gift,”The Fever”. –Redbeard
