When Bruce Springsteen opened The River tour in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1980, one of the state’s local heroes, Bob Seger, came out during the encore to help The Boss with Thunder Road. Last night Springsteen finally returned the favor, when he emerged in the middle of Seger’s set at Madison Square Garden for a rollicking take on Old Time Rock and Roll.

Rumor has it Silver Bullet Band sax star Alto Reed is up for a position in the E Street Band, so last night’s sit-in won’t do anything to squash that rumor.
