Info & Setlist | Venue

After visiting and performing alone for Tex Vinyard a week earlier, Springsteen is invited for a tryout-rehearsal with the four already hired members (George Theiss, Frank Marziotti, Bart Haynes, and Danny Hyland) of The Castiles present. One of the songs Bruce performed was "Twist And Shout". Everyone is impressed and Springsteen is given the job, thus completing the formal band lineup. They will spend the next 6 weeks or so rehearsing and developing a repertoire before performing publicly. See our Gallery tab for a timeline of The Castiles' members from July 1965 to August 1968.
