Bruce Springsteen at the Ahmanson Theatre in 1973

On May 1, 1973, Bruce Springsteen took the stage of the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles. Columbia Records was hosting a “Week to Remember Showcase.” And Springsteen was one of Columbia Records’ newest artists at the time. 

Now, Springsteen is making available videos of the performance. Below is his performance of one of my favorite Springsteen tracks, “Thundercrack.” Check it out.

Three songs from the performance are available online. Check out other performances of “Spirit in the Night” and “Wild Billy’s Circus Story” (a song we wrote about here).
