One show, triple bill, with the five-member Bruce Springsteen Band headlining. The support acts for this show were originally
Sweet Chariot and Tumbleweed, but it appears that the latter were replaced at the last minute by The Joe Hagstrom Squeak Band
. This was an outdoor show orchestrated by Tinker West�s Blah Productions. Garfield Park is located at the intersection of
Broadway and Ocean Ave, near the ocean. The above-mentioned ten-song, partial setlist is culled from a 66-minute audience
recording of this show, none of which has ever appeared on any mainstream boot and all of which remains in very limited
circulation. Unfortunately the taper utilized a cheap recording device. The sound quality is consistent but is weak (fair),
although it�s not horrible. While the opening seconds of �Little Queenie� are missing, all other songs are complete.
However this performance apparently lasted nearly two hours, so there�s quite a bit missing and discernible edits can be hear
d in between songs on the audio source.

The line-up for this show is Springsteen, Van Zandt, Sancious, Tallent and Lopez.
Although Bruce handles all the lead vocals, the performance is unusual in that Springsteen is on piano for most of these ten
songs from this show. Sancious plays the organ and Steve Van Zandt handles much of the guitar chores. Tinker West guests on
congas on �Dance Dance Dance� and the rousing finale �Jambalaya� (which also features an unidentified walk-on troupe of
backing vocalists consisting of inner circle troops and members of both undercard bands). Highlights of this show are
�The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down� (the only known Springsteen performance), as well as the only known audio of two Spring
steen compositions, �It�s Time To Go Home� (also known by the title �Festival�) and �You Better Be Nice To Me, Baby�.
"Don't You Want To Be An Outlaw" is also known by the title "Ballad Of Jesse James".
