 Brucefan24 First of two shows, billed as the 'Bruce Springsteen Jam Concert'. Bruce's method of finding the right combination of musicians for a new band. Out of these shows will emerge The Sundance Blues Band, Dr. Zoom & The Sonic Boom and ultimately The Bruce Springsteen Band. Bruce Springsteen May 13, 2025

 Brucefan24 Billed as a '1950s Revival' show, Bruce and Steven lead separate bands of Upstage regulars playing hit songs from the '50s. All the musicians were dressed the part, with hair slicked back and shirtsleeves rolled up. The handbill for this show and the next night can be seen at the Rock 'N' Roll Hall Of Fame exhibition. http://brucebase.wikidot.com/gig:1971-04-02-upstage-asbury-park-nj Bruce Springsteen May 13, 2025

 Brucefan24 One show, double bill, with Steel Mill headlining and Sunny Jim opening. The listed partial setlist is culled from a review of the show by Joan Pikula in the Asbury Park Press on October 19, 1970, and Springsteen's own recollections in his autobiography Born To Run. Despite being on the lam after events at the Clearwater Swim Club on September 11, Danny Federici decides to take the chance and play at what is an important show for the band. Despite smoking himself into a mild state of paranoia in the car before the show, Danny made it through the gig and out unscathed. However, he was persuaded to turn himself in soon after. A sellout performance in the College’s Gym, with a crowd that Pikula estimates at near 4,000. This was the debut public performance of Sunny Jim, a group formed in May 1970 that included former Castiles drummer Vinnie Manniello and former Castiles and Earth organist Bob Alfano. "Changing Children" is also known by the titles "Change It" and "Change It (Revolution)". http://brucebase.wikidot.com/gig:1970-10-17-mc-gym-west-long-branch-nj Steel Mill / Sunny Jim May 13, 2025

 Tim Hadlow First date with my future wife. Second was a week later to see The Cramps at the same venue. With that taste in music, I guess I knew she was a keeper! Howard Jones May 13, 2025

 Brucefan24 INCIDENT ON 57TH STREET / GROWIN' UP / WINGS FOR WHEELS / BORN TO RUN Incomplete setlist. One show, with Springsteen & The E Street Band the sole act on the bill, and held in the 2,000-seat John Carroll University Gymnasium. This concert was originally scheduled for February 27 but moved forward due to a studio session booked at The Record Plant in New York City. Beginning at 8:30pm, the concert began with WMMS DJ Kid Leo's introduction before Springsteen's first song "Incident On 57th Street". According to the University's campus newspaper The Carroll News, "Growin' Up" was the third song of the set, while those present recall both "Thunder Road" (in its early "Wings For Wheels" form) and "Born To Run". A Brucebase reader who attended comments that he and his fellow University Club fraternity members sold tickets, helped set up the stage and the band's equipment, sat through the soundcheck, and ushered the concert. The event was organized by Tim Russert, a 1972 JCU graduate and former University Club president, Russert was later known in the U.S. as host of NBC-TV's Meet The Press and became a close friend of Springsteen's. Bruce and the band were paid $2,500 for the night's work, and Russert even worked as a roadie, helping out the fraternity members. Russert said a few years back in an interview, "I made enough money (from the concert) to pay for my second year of law school." http://brucebase.wikidot.com/gig...

 Brucefan24 One show, double bill, held in the sold-out 1,600-seat Student Union Center Ballroom, with Springsteen and band opening for headliner Black Oak Arkansas. Springsteen opened but played about 80 minutes. However the vast majority of the fans in attendance had come to see Black Oak Arkansas, so it was a very raucous audience. There were continual problems with feedback and echo inside the K.S.U. Ballroom during this show, prompting a scathing review by K.S.U. rock critic Clyde Hadlock following the concert. Hadlock felt that neither band had adequately prepared their sound systems to fit the auditorium's dynamics. According to Hadlock "if the echo had been any worse we could have heard the show twice." Hadlock's review of Springsteen's performance is positive and Hadlock makes no secret of the fact he felt the wrong band was headlining, calling Black Oak Arkansas "a bunch of backward crackers - they are to music what Roller Derby is to TV." Springsteen, on the other hand, he calls "a great poet." Hadlock doesn't articulate Springsteen's setlist in his review. However he gets very detailed about Bruce's final song at this show, "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)." Says Hadlock in his review: "My biggest complaint (about Springsteen) is that he marred his big show-closing piece, "Rosalita", by whipping into Junior Walker's "Shotgun" and then taking ten minutes to introduce the band." This detailed information concerning "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)" is just one of many pieces of evidence that proves that the long-circulating soundboard audio assigned to this date is, in fact, not from this show. A fascinating article on a Kent State blog goes into more detail about the show: Springsteen was paid $750 for the night's work, Black Oak Arkansas took home much more, in the region of $5,000. Following the show Bruce went to a party in a house on campus, sitting on the floor in a torn leather jacket and boots with a hole in. http://brucebase.wikidot.com/gig:1974-01-19-student-center-ballroom-kent-oh Black Oak Arkansas / Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band May 13, 2025
 Brucefan24 NEW YORK CITY SERENADE / NO MONEY DOWN / KITTY'S BACK / LET THE FOUR WINDS BLOW - I'M READY Incomplete setlist. One show, a six-hour quadruple billing extravaganza, with Springsteen & The E Street Band headlining. Support acts were Michael Stanley, The Banky Brothers Band and 15-60-75 (aka The Numbers Band). Held in the 5,000 seat Memorial Gymnasium. Originally scheduled for May 5. The show was well-attended, but was not a sellout. The second-billed Michael Stanley (and his band) opened the festivities with a 90-minute performance, followed by the two local bands, each of which played 60-minute sets - culminating in Springsteen & The E Street Band taking the stage at 10:30pm and playing for two hours. According to the contract documentation, the ticket price was $2.00. The listed partial setlist is from an attendee recollection.
