The above-mentioned 16-song setlist is the complete performance and is culled from 
an audience tape of average quality that runs fast. This show includes a couple of 
rarities – firstly, one of only two known renditions of “Gimme That Wine” 
(previously played on 10/03/74) – secondly, the first circulating in concert performance 
of “Funk Song”, an early Springsteen-composed instrumental that had been a staple of 
The Bruce Springsteen Band in 1971-72 (no live renditions from that era are circulating
but a rehearsal take from early 1972 is). Interestingly “Funk Song” would be performed 
on two other known occasions during the following two weeks (29/07/75 and 08/08/75), 
but seemingly never again after that. A BRUCEBASE reader who attended this concert 
comments: “it was outdoors in a natural amphitheatre. The show didn’t start until 
just before sunset, so we were treated to this amazing changing backdrop, from full 
light at the outset, through a spectacular, fiery sunset and then ending up in darkness 
with Bruce’s typical great use of stage lighting. Bruce broke a guitar string and he 
didn't have any backup. That's what caused the band to perform "Gimme That Wine". While 
the band played it Bruce re-strung his own guitar on stage. Miami Steve performed the 
soundcheck and the first half of the show without anything on his head - don't believe 
that's happened since!” 

This show (at least in part) was filmed by early Springsteen fan Barry Rebo; with a short 
clip turning up in the official “Wings For Wheels” documentary DVD more than 30 years later.
