1972: The Bruce Springsteen Band completes a three-night gig at The Captain’s Garter in Neptune, New Jersey.
1974: Bruce and the (still unnamed) E Street Band open for Freddie King at Muther’s Music Emporium in Nashville.
1981: Arriving in St. Paul early in the morning, two days before their scheduled show, Bruce and the band enjoy a couple of days off in the Twin Cities (except for Roy, who has an ear infection).

Richie Sambora joins the band for encores of “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out” and “Shout.”
