Bobby Bandiera leads all-star benefit concert

Posted by the Asbury Park Press on 12/9/06

BY ED CONDRAN
CORRESPONDENT

It doesn't take long for Bobby Bandiera to pull together recording artists for his All Star Holiday Concert benefit.

"I live next door to some of the guys who will play," he said. "I also can run into them at the grocery store."

Some of the usual suspects, such as Southside Johnny Lyon, will be performing alongside Bandiera on Tuesday during the third annual ALS benefit at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank.

There also are some high profile folks that Bandiera, 53, doesn't see while picking produce in his Brick neighborhood who may or may not appear at the sold-out event.

"You never know who is going to show up," Bandiera said.

The concert is akin to a Christmas present. Fans will have to wait and see what's under the wrapping paper.

Will Jon Bon Jovi, who tabbed Bandiera to join his band for his 2005-06 tour, or his charitable pal Bruce Springsteen pop in for the concert? Or will other high-profile recording artists from out of the area perform?

You'll need a much sought-after ticket to find out who graces the stage. What aficionados should know is that about 20 percent of the material will be comprised of holiday tunes.

"I've been a big fan of Christmas songs ever since I was a little kid," Bandiera said while calling from Cleveland. "I love "White Christmas' by Darlene Love and Chuck Berry's "Run Rudolph Run.' But we're going to be doing a lot of regular material."

The songs are just part of the equation. The unpredictable banter between the artists is worth the experience.

"Most of us who perform together know each other very well," Bandiera said. "We have a good time up there. It's showbiz, but there are no fake smiles when we get up there. It's part of what people come out for. It's loose, but when it comes to the performance, it's very serious.

"I'm not James Brown out there giving fines of $20 for every mistake someone makes in the band. I'll just go up and kick them in the shins. To me, it's a big deal whether you step on the stage of The Stone Pony, Giants Stadium or the Count Basie. You have to be a professional, and professionals will join me for this show. We'll be ready and well-rehearsed by the time the show comes around."

Bandiera can never do enough benefit shows.

"I've been doing shows like this for the last eight years," Bandiera said. "I would love to do more of them. It's good to give back. I've been very fortunate and this is the least I can do. And the other thing is that I enjoy it. To perform is a great way to give back."

Bruce made it to the show last night.
He looked as he did in the " bedazzler " photos from the Light Of Day Benefit a few weeks back, gray milkman hat and all .
The security was insane as usual- no pics or vids to share. :mad:
It was great to see him playing an electric guitar again.! :jam: :eek: :eek:
Bruce hit the stage approx 1130 pm, Oh yeah- i met and chatted with Senetor Lautenberg of NJ afterwards. Huge Bruce fan.

Setlist : Darlington County , Spirit In The Night , Seaside Bar Song , Waitin' On A Sunny Day , *10th Avenue Freeze Out ( w/ Jon Bon Jovi and full horn sections :eek: ) , Santa Claus Is Coming To Town ( full stage ) .

* The last E Street Tour this basically was dropped off the setlists for " Marys Place " ( the extended long band intros , ect ) , so it was nice to hear this again and especially with all the horns and all those electric guitars ... :eek: :eek:

photos some poeple snuck in there- i was in the loge with only 3 rows , it extended down over the orchestra- so security was too tighht to even take my cam out ) :crying: i actually enjoyed the show instead of looking thru the lens.














JBJ & Southside




these 2 take the cake.
