 Hottub Bob There were a couple of other bands there, but can't remember their names, sorry. Also fleetwood Mac were supposed to top the bill, but never arrived! I think that there was a female vocalist, possibly Christine Perfect? My memory not 100% these days. Chicken Shack May 14, 2025

 Brucefan24 One show, double bill, with Springsteen & The E Street Band headlining and slide guitar virtuoso Ellen McIlwaine opening (a late replacement for Hall & Oates). A Brucebase reader who attended comments: "The opening act was originally supposed to be Hall & Oates but as we were on our way to the show on the Jersey Turnpike we heard them guest DJ'ing on WMMR-FM in Philadelphia. The show was primarily Wild & Innocent stuff. Bruce ended with a bunch of rock classics and them came back to do a solo "For You" on piano."

 Brucefan24 THE E STREET SHUFFLE / NEW YORK CITY SERENADE / SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT / BORN TO RUN / 4TH OF JULY, ASBURY PARK (SANDY) / IT'S HARD TO BE A SAINT IN THE CITY / KITTY'S BACK / FOR YOU / ROSALITA (COME OUT TONIGHT) / LET THE FOUR WINDS BLOW / TWIST AND SHOUT Setlist likely incomplete. Second of two shows, double bill, with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band opening for headliner Bonnie Raitt. This is one of most famous Springsteen gigs yet, ironically, one of the most inaccurately reported - the key point of confusion being that there were two separate admission shows on the night and the long-circulating audio has been long-attributed to the wrong show. Precise setlist details of the late show remain problematic due to conflicting recollections. Critic Jon Landau's much-quoted "I saw rock and roll future and its name is Bruce Springsteen" line emanates from this night. Landau only attended, and his Real Paper review only covers, the late show. However Landau's review, in conjunction with information from other attendee recollections, provides an accurate, albeit partial, setlist for the late show, one that lasted 20-30 minutes longer than the early show. Bruce opened with the slow arrangement of "The E Street Shuffle", the only known instance that Bruce has opened with this song. "For You" is the solo piano version. Bruce knew that Landau was attending the late show and he unveiled at least one new composition (possibly up to three) for Landau's ears. One of these, "Born To Run" (identified in Landau's review as the song with the "Telstar" guitar opening), is confirmed via multiple recollections, including later comments by Landau to Dave Marsh. If one or two additional "new songs" were performed during the late show (and this is where there are conflicting stories) then these would have been either "Angel's Blues" (previously only played on March 10) or "The Fever" (rarely played and considered new) or two songs that Bruce had written and was already fiddling with in the studio, "Jungleland" and "A Love So Fine".

 Brucefan24 Soundcheck: THE E STREET SHUFFLE / DOES THIS BUS STOP AT 82ND STREET? NEW YORK CITY SERENADE / SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT / I SOLD MY HEART TO THE JUNKMAN / DOES THIS BUS STOP AT 82ND STREET? / IT'S HARD TO BE A SAINT IN THE CITY / THE E STREET SHUFFLE / KITTY'S BACK / ROSALITA (COME OUT TONIGHT) First of two shows, double bill, with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band opening for headliner Bonnie Raitt. This is one of most famous Springsteen gigs yet, ironically, one of the most inaccurately reported - the key point of confusion being that there were two separate admission shows on the night and the long-circulating audio has been long-attributed to the wrong show. The audio is from the early show, an excellent performance that includes a unique cover of the Dinah Washington / Etta James WWII-era blues classic "I Sold My Heart To The Junkman" (performed by Bruce in the 'comedy mode' as recorded by The Starlets in 1961, the likely inspiration). "The E Street Shuffle" includes "Having A Party" and "Kitty's Back" includes a snippet of "Bright Lights, Big City". The MC's use of the name "The E Street Band" in his introduction is the earliest appearance of that name on any show audio or promotional material yet unearthed. The E Street Band name was conjured up only a few weeks earlier. Bonnie Raitt / Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band May 14, 2025
 Brucefan24 Bruce base: One show (a four-artist Spring Carnival Extravaganza), held outdoors in the parking lot of the school's Ice Hockey Arena from 1.00pm - 6.00pm. Springsteen was topped-billed but actually opened the show, seeming in order to be able to make it on time to another booked spring carnival show later that evening 60 kilometers away at the University Of Hartford (see following listing). All four bands played about 90 minute sets and it was an outstanding bill, with funk masters Fatback, the always-hot-in-concert Aerosmith, and Fairport Convention (who closed the festivities). And to top it off the whole event was free, including food and drink! One attendee recalls "Born To Run" being performed, although this has not been confirmed.
