From StArt: 
Along with a single show the previous night, these two shows by The Asbury Park All Star Revue are quite
unique in the history of Springsteen performances, foreshadowing shows that wouldn’t happen for another 23
years when Bruce put together his first set of Christmas benefits in 2000. Faced with the cancellation of
two nights of Asbury Jukes gigs because of an ailing Southside Johnny, Steve Van Zandt quickly organized a
fill-in group of musicians including The Jukes, various E Streeters, Ronnie Spector and Springsteen himself.
Bruce is featured on guitar and background vocals on many early Jukes staples and several Ronettes classics,
sings lead on his own The Fever (and other songs at the end of each show), and in what is easily one of his
most standout performances ever, wails away on You Mean So Much To Me with Ronnie Spector. The latter is in
the style of the version Southside recorded for his first LP, as opposed to the original interpretation of
the song as performed by Bruce early in his career. 

Make no mistake, despite the typical Carlton Theatre/Monmouth Arts Center/Count Basie quality recording,
these shows are a must-have for the set lists and performances. 

From Brucebase (discussing both shows): 
Two separate admission shows. Audience tapes of both gigs circulate. The above-noted setlists include the
songs that featured Springsteen performing in some capacity. The gigs were originally scheduled as a standard
Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes gig. However Southside became ill and couldn’t perform so Steve Van Zandt
came to the rescue by organizing The Asbury Park All-Star Revue - a combination of The Asbury Jukes, The E
Street Band, Ronnie Spector and Springsteen. Van Zandt was the lead vocalist (with Bruce on guitar/background
vocals) on most of the tracks above; Bruce took lead vocals on "The Fever" at both shows (backed by the
Asbury Jukes), "Thunder Road" at both shows (backed by the E Street Band), and "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me)
Higher And Higher" at the second show (backed by the E Street Band), and shared lead vocals with Ronnie
Spector on "You Mean So Much To Me" at both shows (backed by the Asbury Jukes).

Enjoy the show!
