Notes:
One show, double bill, with Bruce and the boys opening for headliner BRIAN AUGER'S OBLIVION EXPRESS. An article in the college newspaper indicates that David Bromberg was originally scheduled to headline this show but opted out after being informed that Springsteen was going to open the show. Bromberg was aware of the difficulty in following Bruce. Brian Auger probably wished he'd been aware too, as the vast majority of the 1,500-strong full house in Kendall Hall left after Bruce's performance. The 7 songs listed above were mentioned as having been performed at this concert in a school newspaper review that followed. Given that Bruce was the opening act this setlist is likely to represent nearly the entire show, with perhaps only one or two songs undocumented. There is no circulating audio from this show.

Notes:
TWO shows, with Springsteen headlining. Two or three local bands (names unknown) acting as undercards. A highly unusual show structure, as the first show took place during the day but the second show was not until later in the evening. It is likely that the 2nd show is the source of the circulating audience recording. Apparently advanced ticket sales for this off-the-beaten-track venue were poor, which necessitated Bruce plugging the Manayunk gig during the previous 3 nights at My Fathers Place. It seems to have worked, as Bruce twice thanks the crowd for traveling to (in Bruce's words) "this God-forsaken place" to support him and the band. The above-mentioned setlist is from a fairly recently surfaced audience recording of only fair sound quality, slightly better during the slower songs. On the positive side - this audio has continuity and captures the complete 11-song, 90-minute performance. There was no intermission. "You Mean So Much To Me" is the only major audio "flaw", as its final 2 minutes are missing. This show began with "Walking The Dog", which was unusual. As it is suspected he did during many of the late 1973 gigs, Al Tellone guests on baritone sax on "E Street Shuffle". "For You" is the slow version with Bruce on piano. "Thundercrack" includes an exceptionally long band-introduction segment. This is one of only two complete show audios currently available from any of the numerous gigs played during the final five months of 1973. Consequently it fills a much sought after gap in performance timeline history.

Notes:
ONE show, double bill, with Springsteen opening for British blues godfather JOHN MAYALL. This was a 2-night booking for headliner Mayall, with Springsteen on the undercard the first night and Maria Muldaur on the bill the following night. Interestingly 30% of the seats for the Springsteen show remained unsold but the show with Boston-based Muldaur was a quick sellout. The above-mentioned setlist is culled from a 70-minute audience recording of the show that has only recently filtered into collecting circles and is not available on any mainstream boot. The sound is very muddy and the overall quality is only fair. Fortunately the audio has continuity and, at 70 minutes, is likely to represent the Bruce’s complete performance as the opening act.
