I got this one, Dad!

Jay Weinberg, son of drummer Max Weinberg, subbed for his father on โRadio Nowhereโ during the Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band show on June 22 at the Estadi Oliฬmpic in Barcelona, Spain.

Dad gave son a hug and kiss after the performance.
Damn! That boy can jam!โ commented a fan on the Spring-Nuts Facebook group in response to a video of the performance
Jay, 33, is an accomplished drummer in his own right. He temporarily took his father’s place for several shows during the 2009 โWorking on a Dreamโ tour as Max was busy as the bandleader on โThe Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien.

In 2013, Jay sat with E Street during a โRadio Nowhereโ performance in Germany.

โAn absolute joy to sit in tonight with my lifetime favorite band โ my family โ the people who forever changed my life 15 years ago,โ said Jay on social media regarding the June 22 performance. โI love everyone on this stage. Unreal experience in Barcelona.โ

โYou crushed brother!!! What a pleasure it was having you jump up and shred,โ said E Street percussionist Anthony Almonte.

Jay, a Bayshore native, currently plays with Suicidal Tendences. He’s previously played with Slipknot, Against Me! and Madball. He racked up multiple drummer of the year awards and the appreciation of fans, but Slipknot announced Jay was departing due to a โcreative decisionโ in November 2023.

โFor 33 years youโve made your mom and I 100% proud,โ said Max at the time. โThis moment is no exception. Youโre a class act! Love Dad.โ
