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.
