By this tour I had seen Bruce and the band only twice (Memphis and Jackson, Mississippi -1976) and did get to see New Orleans - Jackson - Memphis- Nashville on this tour, right after San Antonio. <br />I found this post by reading the Doug Harvey obituary in the New York Times today. A July 14, 1978, baseball story is told and I thought, "I think that's the San Antonio show." When I Googled to check, here was this great post with these fantastic photographs. <br />Thanks!<br /><br />Oxford, Mississippi.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12678170458857970280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077075252525438159.post-28673061171059368252010-06-25T10:35:17.125-07:002010-06-25T10:35:17.125-07:00Thanks for this!

That being said, I saw some memorable performances in the 70s: The Rolling Thunder Review, Boz Scaggs with a 25-piece orchestra, Jackson Browne, and of course The Boss.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10222703055177237209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077075252525438159.post-86454678318216872932010-06-25T08:06:58.561-07:002010-06-25T08:06:58.561-07:00That was the show that turned me from a casual fan...That was the show that turned me from a casual fan to a fanatic and it remains the best concert I've ever seen.
