Info & Setlist | Venue

---

First of two separate admission shows (8:30pm), with Springsteen & The E Street Band the sole act on the bill and the building marquee proclaiming 'The Homecoming'. As is so often the case with Bruce's pre-1976 gigs, the fact that there were two shows on the same night has caused its fair share of confusion through the years. The partial setlist from the early show listed is from post-concert reports and from a fan present who also recalls that most of the photos in the Newsweek articles came from these shows.

Media

Recording

There is no audio from the early show in circulation. One or both of the "Homecoming" shows was filmed in black and white by Barry Rebo. Footage can be seen in Wings For Wheels, the documentary on the making of Born To Run, and in The Promise, the Darkness On The Edge Of Town documentary. In addition, "Kitty's Back" was in the archive reel footage at the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame exhibition in Cleveland and also shown to the public at "An Evening With Thom Zimny" at Monmouth University on September 23, 2014, along with footage of Danny Federici vamping on accordion during a soundcheck performance of "4th Of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)". It has been confirmed by comparing audio recordings that this film of "Kitty's Back" is from the early show. However, it remains a possibility that the film of "Jungleland" that can be seen on Wings For Wheels may be from the late show.

Storyteller

11.10.75 Red Bank, NJ, (early show), intro to 'Meeting Across The River'
"What's happening?"

11.10.75 Red Bank, NJ, (early show), intro to 'Pretty Flamingo'
"I wanna dedicate this song to all the girls. 'Cause this is a song about the kind of girl you can't go up to talk to. Man, I couldn't talk to girls at all. Me and Steve used to sit on my front porch when I lived on South Street in Freehold. Every day at five o'clock this girl would walk by and I wanted to go up and talk to her. I'd say to Steve, 'Go talk to her, man.' And we'd sit there like two fools. We tried to get the crazy kid on the block to do it for us. […] I shoulda told her I was in a band."

11.10.75 Red Bank, NJ, (early show), intro to uncertain song
"Ya know, ya think about comin' back and ya wonder what it's gonna be like and ya think about it this way."

11.10.75 Red Bank, NJ, (early show), intro to '4th Of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)'
"This is a song about being here, ya know."
