belated outdoor birthday bash for Bruce at his farm property, originally planned for September 23 but had been delayed due to poor weather. As they had the previous year, NYC-based Cajun-roots band The Gotham Playboys (who would form the core of the Sessions Band when they first assembled in the fall of 1998) provide the entertainment. Bruce joins them for several songs . Party guests include Steven Van Zandt, Max Weinberg, Jon Bon Jovi and Sheryl Crow. The Gotham Playboys : New York City based bluegrass/roots band. Springsteen's first involvement with the band was in September 1997, when they performed at his birthday party in Colts Neck. Bruce had heard about the band from Soozie Tyrell, who occasionally played live gigs with them. Bruce allegedly joined in on some songs during the party. A few weeks later, Springsteen would hire several members of the group (Jeremy Chatzky, Sam Bardfeld, Larry Eagle, Mark Clifford, and Charles Giordano) to back him during a November 2nd 1997 recording session at Bruce’s home studio undertaken for the purpose of contributing a song for a planned spring 1998 Pete Seeger charity album. This group would eventually become The Sessions Band.

Bruce performs at the eighth Stand Up for Heroes benefit. The annual show helps raise funds for injured service members and is Springsteen's first public performance in over five months. Bruce plays a five-song acoustic set and auctions two special packages consisting of a guitar, an hour lesson on how to play it, a lasagne dinner at his house and a ride in the sidecar of his motorcycle. One of the guitars is purchased by NASCAR chairman and CEO Brian France and his wife, Amy. " Bruce sings a snippet of "Mystery Train" at the conclusion of the auction. The auctions raised $600,000 for the Bob Woodruff Foundation, which helps military service members and their families after they return home. The event raised a total of $6 million for the Foundation.
