Notes:
It is debated whether this show was played on 16 on 15th of January 1973 One show, held in the tiny 150-seat St Mary's Hall Auditorium Theatre, with Bruce and the boys the sole act on the bill. Due to a strike at the time by Villanova's school newspaper "The Villanovan", this concert went unadvertised and less than 50 people attended - probably the smallest crowd Bruce and The E Street Band have ever played in front of.
