Review:
ONE show, held as a special benefit for the (at the time) financial troubled club. 
Broadcast live in its entirety by Philadelphia's WMMR-FM and MC'd by DJ Ed Sciaky. 
The above-mentioned 18-song setlist represents the entire concert. Not only is it 
the longest (160 minutes) known single show gig up to this point, but it's unquestionably 
one of the finest performances of Springsteen's entire career. The greatest-ever live
 versions of "Kitty's Back" "For You" and "A Love So Fine", as well as renditions of
 "Incident On 52nd Street" and "New York City Serenade" that rank among his very best. 
Additionally there is the debut of "Thunder Road" (with work-in-progress lyrics) and the 
only known performance (and a killer version at that) of Chuck Berry's "Back In The USA".
