Question: Kitty's Back and For You cut out early, is that how the original plays or am I having a download issue? Thanks again... Really enjoy the site overall!

Held in the sold-out, 750-seat Gaston Hall. Critic Jerry Gilbert attended both shows and wrote a lengthy, highly detailed review of the night’s events that appeared a couple of weeks later in Sounds Magazine. The above-mentioned 9-song setlist for the first show is likely missing only one song title. This first (early) show included all 7 of the songs from the WIESS album – the only known time that’s happened, although it probably had happened before due to the amount of undocumented setlists from this era. There is no known audio of the early show. Springsteen's 11-song Late (2nd) Show was simulcast (note: minus its final encore) on the University’s popular Radio Station WGTB-FM. It can be found in excellent soundboard quality on several different boots such as ‘SAINT IN THE CITY’, ‘NYC SERENADE’ and ‘THE BOSS KEEPS ROCKIN, VOL 3’. It is unknown if the lengthy final encore, “Let The Four Winds Blow”, was taped or not – it definitely was not broadcast that night (probably due to a 90-minute schedule restriction) and that piece of audio has never circulated among collectors. Intriguingly critic Jerry Gilbert (who clearly notes “Let The Four Winds Blow” as ending the 2nd show) mentions that following the 2nd show Springsteen sat down at a piano backstage and played him (plus Mike Appel and some of the ESB members) a brand new song that he’d recently written – unfortunately Gilbert doesn’t mention the song’s title. This from Brucebase:
