The change was made in Australia when Sambora joined the band.
Richie Sambora of Woodbridge, formerly of Bon Jovi, joined Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band on stage during Springsteen’s Monday, Jan 30 show in Adelaide, Australia.
Sambora, standing to Springsteen’s left, played on “Tenth Avenue Freeze-out” and “Shout,” according to Backstreets.
“What a thrill and honor.. Bruce and Steven (Van Zandt) invited me to jam tonite in Adelaide.. Big Ol Jersey Jam...What an amazing show,” tweeted Sambora. "I'm a lucky guy."
