Notes: ONE show, double bill, with THE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN BAND headlining with a 90-minute performance and PSYCHOTIC BLUES BAND opening with a 60-minute performance. The above-mentioned partial setlist details are taken from a suite of three circulating soundboard recording of good quality that first surfaced on the CD “THE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN STORY, VOLUME 4” (E Street). A fourth soundboard recording found on this CD, “Hoochie Koochie Man”, is a performance by the Psychotic Blues Band from this show that does not feature Springsteen. As is usually the case with releases on the E Street label, the music is significant but the liner note information is wildly inaccurate.
The Bruce Springsteen Band at this show features the same 9-piece lineup that played at Damrosch Park two weeks earlier. There may be an additional horn player performing on “You Mean So Much To Me”, although it’s hard to tell for
certain. Of particular noteworthiness is “Natural Magic” – this is one of Bruce’s finest-ever love songs and this is the strongest circulating rendition. Unfortunately there is no audio of the rest of this performance in circulation.

Notes: ONE show 9:30PM to 1AM, with THE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN BAND the sole act on the bill. A typical BSB gig at this club consisted of four 40-minute sets separated by healthy intermissions (2½ hrs total playing time).
Current evidence suggests this is the start of what would be a four-month, semi-permanent residency at the club, encompassing over 40 shows. The core band lineup for all gigs at The Student Price was Springsteen, Van Zandt, Tallent, Sancious and Lopez. There are indications that the initial shows (those in September) may have included limited appearances by some of the non-core musicians and singers from Springsteen’s “big band” experiments of May - August, 1971. However these players were completely phased out during October.
