Thanks Terry. That was great listen. When Steel Mill was around, I took it all for granted, or maybe I was too young and green to realize how special Springsteen was. I remember seeing him open for Dan Hicks and thinking he sounded like a second-rate Van Morrison wanna-be. Shows how much I knew. This also got me thinking about what a gem WGOE was. A free-form AM radio station. Have you ever heard of another? I think that was the last time there was a good station in Richmond. They sure eat it up here in D.C. now.
Bruce, my remembrances of Springsteen in Richmond during the Child/Steel Mill era are not so different. Although I liked him and his music well enough, I had no sense that he would be a big star. And, I was at that free show at the VCU gym (Feb. 14, 1973). Springsteen opened. But I went to see a band I loved -- Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks.
