Info & Setlist | Venue

Bruce's first ever appearance in North Carolina. One show, double bill, with Bruce and the boys opening for headlining band Chicago. This is the first of thirteen consecutive shows in which Springsteen opened for Chicago. Large impersonal auditoriums, a very M.O.R. headlining act whose fans had no affinity with Bruce's music and an inflexible 40-minute performing time allocation - these all combined to make this Chicago mini-tour, in Bruce's words "a soul destroying experience." Mike Appel has stated that Bruce did not open any of the Chicago shows with his usual acoustic spotlight solo, as he'd been doing religiously since the start of the Greetings Tour.
