1975.09.04-09

The Main Point

Bryn Mawr, PA

With David Lindley. There is conflicting evidence regarding these dates. Bruce Springsteen sources maintain that this was a 5-night benefit starting on Sept 3rd with Springsteen making a guest appearance on the 4th when he performed a solo acoustic rendition of Born To Run. The "final" show (always assumed to be Sept 7th but may actually be 9th) was simulcast on WMMR-FM. However a contemporaneous review suggests there were 12 sets in total suggesting 6 nights. The Main Point official list - now no longer on the web - also supports the 6 nights theory. They list James Cotton appearing on the 2nd, Nils Lofgren on the 3rd and Jackson starting on the 4th.
Set from the 4th: Come All Ye Fair And Tender Ladies / Take It Easy / instrumental fiddle reel / Jamaica Say You Will / Fountain of Sorrow / Long Distance Love / Poor Poor Pitiful Me / Your Sweet And Shiny Eyes / Little Red Lark* / banjo instrumental*(David Lindley solo) / fiddle instrumental* / Ready or Not / Hasten Down The Wind / For Everyman / Song For Adam / Doctor My Eyes / These Days /Before The Deluge / Runaway. *David Lindley solo
