Bruce Springsteen joined Little Steven Van Zandt and the Disciples of Soul for the West Coast record release show marking the band's new album. “Summer of Sorcery,” Saturday, May 4 at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills, Calif.

The Boss, according to an attendee of the show, helped the Disciples of Soul perform the E Street Band's “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out,” the '80s anti-apartheid anthem “Sun City” and Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes' “I Don't Want to Go Home,” which was written and produced by Van Zandt.
