Hancher Auditorium Iowa City, Iowa in the fall of 1975.
Not a big fan of most of his stuff, but it was a good concert.

Where were you when you first heard ""Born To Run"?
It was 1975. I was on the floor of my childhood home listening to Syracuse University college radio station, WAER, on my Pioneer Sx-737 tuner. I was blown away from start to finish.
Prior to that release, music critic Jon Landau was quoted, "I saw rock and roll future, and its name is Bruce Springsteen".
Where were you when you first heard it?
At the Banana Records shop in downtown San Francisco where I was working when it was released. One of the other people there was a big Bruce fan from his first two albums, so you can bet we heard 'Born To Run' a lot. I got to see him 3 times, the last on the 'Darkness at the Edge of Town' tour in '78; never owned any of his records. @rar1 - did you know that 'EJ Korvettes' stood for the 'Eight Jewish Korea Veterans' who created it? We had one in Maryland where I'm from (though we'd go to S Klein's more often). |
