1972-12-29 Hara Arena, Dayton, OH

Bruce's first ever appearance in Ohio. One show, triple billing, with Springsteen and the boys opening for Brownsville Station and headliner Sha Na Na. As the gig opener on a three-artist bill, Bruce's performance was approximately one hour. Billed as "a holiday rock festival", Springsteen was incorrectly billed as "Rick Springsteen". The promoter presumably had him confused with Australian pop singer Rick Springfield, who had a U.S. hit that year with "Speak to the Sky". Also a week earlier, when Greetings was released, Rick sang "She called me Bruce", so the mix-ups went both ways.
