I always associate early Springsteen with my friend John who passed away a few years ago. I came home on leave a few times in 1973 and John was always there to go downtown and take me to a small club to see some musician I hadn’t heard of before like Jackson Browne, Tom Waits and Bruce Springsteen. In 1974 John moved in with me in the house I had just bought and I loved exploring his record collection. We saw a lot of music together in those years.
We went to 6 Springsteen shows together in 1973-1975. Twice in a small club, twice in a college gym and twice at the Tower Theater. They were all long fantastic performances. The best. I miss John and haven’t seen Springsteen since then when I stopped going to arena concerts.
I saw Springsteen perform six times in 1973-1975. Twice in a small club, twice in a college gym and twice at the Tower Theater. All six I saw with my special music friend John.
