Angel as the opening act was what I originally had. However, I found several other sources that had Boston opening.

It doesn’t really matter, the story and the show was The Earth Band.

> On October 15, 1976, the Earth Band was second on the bill, between Boston and Blue Öyster Cult.

Boston didn’t open, Angel did:

Revved up, eh? How about that. Been listening to that cut for 33 years, knew about “cut loose”, but always heard it as “wrapped”. Learn something new every day.

As mayor of Bootleg City, I'm your boss. Unless you don't live in Bootleg City. And I'm on vacation, anyway. So, in that case, have a nice day.

Agreed. He's not by boss, either.

Springsteen's just jealous. What a deuce.

Not a Springsteen fan. Which makes me something of an outcast here at Popdose, you understand.

from the wiki ..
The song is notable for lead vocalist Chris Thompson's garbled enunciation, especially of the phrase “revved up like a deuce” which has led many fans to interpret it as “wrapped up like a douche”. The original Springsteen lyric is neither of the above, instead being “cut loose like a deuce”.[1] Springsteen once attributed the popularity of the Manfred Mann version partially to Thompson's enunciation.[2]
