I was at that the same show - 4th row center. We had gone to see John Sebastian, and we were also curious about both Dan Fogelberg and Bruce. And we also were surprised about Bruce's set following Sebastian's - until he appeared on stage, and my wife and I became instant and forever Springsteen fans. I immediately went out and bought the first two albums the next day, but they couldn't come close to capturing what we saw and heard the night before.<br><br>I'm curious about one detail. As I recall, the drummer that night was still Ernest “Boom” Carter and David Sancious was still on keyboards. I know for sure that off to one side in the shadows sat someone who appeared to be learning the drum parts by following the drummer on an imaginary kit. Perhaps that's not who it was - I didn't really know who the E Street Band members were at the time, but to me it seemed that it might have been Max preparing to take over for Ernest going forward.<br><br>By the way, I also recall we heard both Kitty's Back and Rosalita that night, so too bad you didn't stay a little longer! We now live in St. Louis and have floor tickets for the show here August 23. We're a little older of course, but not too old to try to get close enough to the stage to re-live an incredible night from 1974! Ken, thanks for sharing this great remembrance.
