From brucebase:

One show, triple bill, with blues band Marlo Mays & The Stingers opening, Mercy Flight performing
second and Steel Mill headlining and closing. Held under the stars on the upper deck of the parking complex.
The general concept for this show was modeled after The Beatles memorable rooftop performance in the film "Let It Be"
(which was in theatres at the time). This is one the most famous of all Steel Mill�s gigs and it�s now firmly a part of
Richmond folklore. Promoter Russell Clem provides the immortal MC introduction. This was Steel Mill�s first gig in about
a month and their performance actually starts off somewhat ragged as a result, something both Bruce and Vini Lopez apologize
for this during the show.

The above-mentioned 12 song setlist is culled from audio from this show that circulates in several variations. An audience
tape of only fair quality has been in circulation for many years. Fortunately a substantially better (very good) quality and
more complete specimen of this audience recording has emerged in the collector market over the past couple of years,and is a
bsolutely worth obtaining. In addition to the new audience source, some soundboard audio has also emerged from this show. The
soundboard audio is missing two tracks ("The War Is Over" and "Guilty") found on the audience recording and the soundboard
quality isn't nearly as good as the better of the two audience sources. Importantly though, the soundboard audio includes the
show's encore "Good Lovin' Woman", which is not found on the audience audio. None of the above-mentioned audio has ever been
released on any mainstream bootleg.

The 12 song, 110 minute setlist is not the complete show. It would appear that the audience audio is complete up to and
including �We�ll All Man The Guns�. There is then a 2-4 song segment of the show that has never circulated from any source.
One of the songs definitely performed during this �missing� segment was �The Wind And The Rain�. Both "I Am The Doctor" and
"Sweet Melinda" have cropped up in attendee recollections and may have also filled this gap in this show. From an historical
standpoint the two most important tracks are "We'll All Man The Guns" (Bruce introduces it as just written) and Bruce's 1969
song "Good Lovin' Woman" (Bruce introduces it as "an old song"). Neither of these two songs are available elsewhere.

A day or so after this show Springsteen met privately with Mercy Flight's lead singer Robbin Thompson and offered him a
position in Steel Mill. After a few days of deliberation Thompson accepted the offer, resigning from Mercy Flight on
August 23 and relocating to New Jersey to join Steel Mill the following week.
