Info & Setlist | Venue

One show, double bill, with The Bruce Springsteen Band (Springsteen-Van Zandt-Sancious-Tallent-Lopez) headlining. The opening group, Albee & The Hired Hands, featured a lineup on this night of Albee Tellone (acoustic guitar, vocals), Dennis Monahan (bass), Kevin Kavanaugh (keyboards), former Castiles drummer Vinnie Manniello (drums) plus Steven Van Zandt on lead guitar and mandolin. Van Zandt played for both groups this night. He was an on and off member of Albee's band in 1970 and later during mid '71-mid '72 when the Bruce Springsteen Band's schedule permitted it. Manniello had joined in February 1972 (replacing Bobby Williams) but this gig turned out to be Manniello's final show in Albee's band. There were power problems during this concert that affected some of the Bruce Springsteen Band's instruments. The promoter of this show was Randy Jewkes, the then-proprietor of 'Room II', a Point Pleasant Coffee House. Sandy Mack and Albee Tellone provided some details.
