We're sending our best wishes out tonight to Southside Johnny Lyon, seen above in action yesterday at The Stone Pony, shortly before last night's onstage sneak-attack of dehydration during Night Two of Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes' special 50th-anniversary "Requests From The Hat" shows at the Pony. “He's now resting at home, but is fine,” band spokesman James Sliman told The Asbury Park Press.
We're so very glad to hear it, of course, and we also are looking forward to sharing our contributing writer/photographer Mark Krajnak's expanded photo-report from both of this weekend's concerts. Despite last night's health-related hiccup, Southside and his band still delivered two fine evenings of their classic Asbury Park rock and soul mix, with some extra help from two other Jersey Shore legends (and former Asbury Jukes,) Bobby Bandiera and Richie "LaBamba" Rosenberg.
Stay tuned for Mark's complete photo-report, coming soon...
