Who were all the musicians at the end of the last Daily Show ??

I thought I saw Paul Shaeffer ??, Max Weinberg (definite on that one) ... several others I didn't recognize at all, and a couple that looked familiar.

Oh yeah, and some guy out front.

1. You're kidding, right? That was Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street band.

Yes, it includes Max Weinberg, and has for quite some time.

2. They didn't add a couple of "guests" ? Seemed the band was bigger to me ...

of course, I don't follow pop/rock, so I wouldn't have recognized most of the guests in any case ... just recognized Max from his days with Conan O'Brien.

A rock band that regularly has *two* violinists ?? News to me.

3. I thought it was Paul Shaffer, too, but it wasn't.

I recognized Max Weinberg, who's been with the E Street band forever.

4. The guy playing the mandolin was Steven Van Zandt

Who has played with the E Street Band for years.

Also known for playing Silvio Dante on the "Sopranos"
