ONE show, held in the 1,500-seat Widener Field House, with Springsteen & The E Street Band the sole act on the bill.
This second night at Widener was a sellout. Video from this show has been in circulation since at least the late 1970's.
The detail surrounding this video production has long been a source of speculation.
For many years the circulating specimens of the footage were uniformly poor in quality.
However portions of the video were shown in Spingsteen TV documentaries in the 1990's
and the quality was significantly better than anything seen before in collecting circles.
This has lent weight to a long held rumor that this footage (far from emanating from a shadowy fan)
may have been shot by Widener students involved in a film making course -
and that there may have been some pre-arranged conditional approval to film the concert from the Springsteen camp.


The partial setlist mentioned above is from an audio source
generally believed to be directly associated with the film footage (i.e., a soundtrack).
Portions of the film footage are known to have been circulating among the Widener community as early as 1976.
As is the case with the video footage,
there are numerous bootlegged variations of the audio source in circulation,
of varying quality and individual track completeness.
However these "variations" seem to be minor - all incorporate the same 9 songs
from a show that featured approximately 16 songs in total.
