Info & Setlist | Venue

---

Second of two shows, double bill, with Springsteen and band headlining and acoustic trio Wire And Wood opening. Halloween night. This setlist is similar to the previous night's gig, but with slightly different song sequencing in the second half of the show. "Zero And Blind Terry" and "Thundercrack" were added for this show but the previous night's "634-5789 (Soulsville, U.S.A.)" was dropped. "For You" is the full band version. Albee "Albany Al" Tellone guests on baritone sax on "The E Street Shuffle", which includes "Having A Party". "4th Of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)" features the first known performance of the rewritten "angels" third verse. The song will continue to be played with these lyrics until 2005, when Springsteen reverted to the original album "waitress" lyric.

Recording

The above-mentioned thirteen-song setlist is culled from a circulating audience tape of fair to good quality that is believed to be the second (late) show. The two 'cut' tracks are not circulating complete. The CD 'Before The Flood' (CU) has the entire show except for "Thundercrack".
