Like the "Boss" (Bruce Springsteen), Southside Johnny aka John Lyon is from New Jersey and, of course, the paths of the two crossed many times. The band gave their first German concert in 1977 in Hamburg and in October 1979 they played together with Mitch Ryder and Nils Lofgren at the 5th Rockpalast Night at Essen's Grugahalle. WDR was there for Rockpalast and recorded the concert.
