1978-09-09 Athletic Convocation Center, South Bend, IN
John A. Ruckstaetter My first Bruce concert was 9-9-78 at Notre Dame's ACC. The description doesn't tell it all. After the concert "ended" the lights came up, the place emptied and the stage was stripped down to just a mic stand and 1 speaker. There were about 12 of us left in the building, 6 guys, 6 girls. The Andy Frain ushers started yelling at us to leave. We started chanting BRUUUUUCE. The ushers came down to the front row where we had moved to and…Bruce came out on stage, plugged in his guitar and played 3-4 songs, just for the 12 of us and a few security guards. I swear they were songs we didn't know, had never heard, but were soon thereafter, on The River, songs like Point Blank, Independence Day come to mind. Can't remember the other 2. My friend and I told everybody about it… nobody believed us. You might not either, but I don't care, because I lived it.
