Notes: WALKING THE DOG (8:15) / SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT (6:58) / DOES THIS BUS STOP AT 82ND ST (3:57) / THE E STREET SHUFFLE (5:45) / NEW YORK CITY SERENADE (12:30) / YOU MEAN SO MUCH TO ME (7:34, end cut) / SAINT IN THE CITY (4:15) / 634-5789 (SOULSVILLE, USA)(9:20) / FOR YOU (9:03) / THUNDERCRACK (17:10) / TWIST AND SHOUT (5:01) TWO shows, with Springsteen headlining. Two or three local bands (names unknown) acting as undercards. A highly unusual show structure, as the first show took place during the day but the second show was not until later in the evening. It is likely that the 2nd show is the source of the circulating audience recording. Apparently advanced ticket sales for this off-the-beaten-track venue were poor, which necessitated Bruce plugging the Manayunk gig during the previous 3 nights at My Fathers Place. It seems to have worked, as Bruce twice thanks the crowd for traveling to (in Bruce's words) "this God-forsaken place" to support him and the band. The above-mentioned setlist is from a fairly recently surfaced audience recording of only fair sound quality, slightly better during the slower songs. On the positive side - this audio has continuity and captures the complete 11-song, 90-minute performance. There was no intermission. "You Mean So Much To Me" is the only major audio "flaw", as its final 2 minutes are missing. This show began with "Walking The Dog", which was unusual. As it is suspected he did during many of the late 1973 gigs, Al Tellone guests on baritone sax on "E Street Shuffle". "For You" is the slow version with Bruce on piano. "Thundercrack" includes an exceptionally long band-introduction segment. This is one of only two complete show audios currently available from any of the numerous gigs played during the final five months of 1973. Consequently it fills a much sought after gap in performance timeline history. Available via the CDR "ELECTRIC SURGES FREE". Note: running times may vary depending on how between song time is allocated.
