I met Bruce on a beach once. Well, not exactly, I’d been on the beach relaxing before his gig in Brighton, England on ‘The River’ tour. I went for a stroll and he was leaving The Grand Hotel IIRC. There were only about five of us holding him up and the conversion was entirely around the songs he might play later. His answers were mumbled and brief. “Yes, we might do that one.” “No, not tonight.”

Obviously the gig itself was unforgettable.

I’ve just looked it up. It was May 26 or 27 1981.

What a setlist

Incredible gig, at a time when Bruce was popular but not yet massive in the UK. I’d been buying his records since ‘Born to Run’.
