I was born in Paterson New Jersey in 1960. I was never a Springsteen fan. As I’ve grown older I realize that Johnny is more Jersey than Springsteen ever was. Springsteen fans were guys named Vinny and Joey who drove Camaros. The gearheads love Springsteen and the real musicians loved Johnny!!!

As good as Rock-N-Roll gets... the power, the longing, the freakin' rocking the night away. For those of us of (ahem) a certain age, this is in the same mile high category as Wilson Pickett's Midnight Hour and others from that time. This is the embodiment of what R&R should aspire to be.

No not a Coffee Break Concert. It was a late Agora show. Bruce played earlier (8 p.m. show) at The Richfield Coliseum, 40 min. south of Cleveland. Southside joined him for The Fever at his show. I left the Bruce show during the last encore and raced to Cleveland to see Southside. We parked and ran to The Agora, Bruce and Steve were just getting out of a car in front of The Agora! Southside started about 11:30 p.m., Bruce joined in for 3 songs late. Fantastic! Fever twice in one night!

Once upon a time a bunch of men I worked with for Colonial Landscaping would head to Asbury and the Stone Pony. Usually stop in Mrs Jay's for a cheap couple of beers first. Southside was/is fantastic..... but when the E street band showed up unannounced ...... the old dog-eared saying: there was magic in the air.

I think they played this video on Cleveland television, which was then WJW Channel 8. Bruce had played the Richfield Coliseum that night. Earlier in 1978, The East Street Band took this stage for a concert broadcast to about a dozen cities, produced by WMMS Buzzard Radio. It's a shame there is no video of that. It was rockin'.

August 9, 1978. The band claims this is THE Best Springteen and the E Street Band ever played and the sound was Phenomenal WMMS Tenth Anniversary Celebration what a Station it WAS. We Loved rockin as Clevelanders do. Find this show and give a Listen. Candy's Room, Growin Up, She's The One, Thunder Road 3.5 Hours of Excellence. BTW I still have my own recorded cassette tapes I recorded that night.

Only you, and maybe Simon Cowle.... could make that once in a lifetime experience a judging contest. They were both smokin'... without Bruce, it would just be Southside having another great night. I have seen him a few times, he is always great. But the two of them together, takes a flawless Southside performance to another level. And I'm sure it would be the same in reverse, Southside coming out onstage at a Springsteen show. Pure magic.
