Private benefit for Boston College (Bruce's oldest son graduated from there). One couple going into the show said tickets were $25,000 per couple. Springsteen played a two-hour set, backed by Bobby Bandiera's band, along with Max Weinberg on drums for about half the show (probably reduced due to a recent arm injury). Bruce said jokingly "I need shots of tequila" before kicking into "Cadillac Ranch". Layonne Holmes takes over lead vocals on "The Boy From New York City", while Bandiera takes most of the vocals on "From Small Things (Big Things One Day Come)". After "4th Of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)", Bruce talked about how great Asbury Park is now, noting that Madam Marie's booth is still there and encouraging the audience to check out Convention Hall. A solo acoustic guitar version of "Thunder Road" closes the 22-song set.
