One show, held as a benefit for the ~270-seat coffeehouse, with Springsteen & The E Street Band the sole act on the bill. The show was emceed by DJ Ed
Sciaky and began just after 9.00pm. It was broadcast by WMMR-FM, but not as a true simulcast, rather it was broadcast on about a two-hour delay the same
night. Interestingly, Springsteen almost backed out of his promise to allow the show to be broadcast. He wanted to play new songs that were still
unfinished - it took a concentrated effort by Sciaky on the day of the concert to talk Bruce around. An attendee review of the show from 1975 by
critic David Fricke states the show took place on February 3, but this appears to be an error by Fricke given detailed interview comments by Sciaky and
the recollections of other attendees. Press reports suggest that Springsteen raised over $1,000 for the Main Point.
The complete show was broadcast and the above-noted 18-song setlist represents the entire concert. Not only is it one of the longest (160 minutes)
single-show gigs up to this point but it's one of the most compelling performances of Springsteen's entire career. There are spellbinding renditions
of "Incident On 57th Street", "New York City Serenade" and "For You" (in the solo piano arrangement), the earliest known performances of "Mountain Of Love"
and "Thunder Road" (with work-in-progress "Wings For Wheels" title/lyrics) plus a wild, majestic version of Chuck Berry's "Back In The U.S.A.".
"Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)" includes a snippet of "Theme From Shaft" in the midsection.
This famous show circulated on vinyl boots and tapes from the mid-'70s onwards, but rarely the entire show (early vinyl boots were missing the final six
The Incident & The Main Point Shuffle' by the Italian label Great Dane. Soon after, an incomplete pre-FM reel of the first ninety minutes was discovered
to retail in the UK in 2005 by American Legends Limited as 'Live On Air', reissued in 2007 by Storming as 'Transmissions', reissued again in 2010 by
Southworld as 'Live On Air', and reissued again in 2011 by Facerock as 'The Best "Live On Air" Of Bruce Springsteen'. The complete show was released in
2011 by Left Field Media as a two-CD set titled 'Live At The Main Point, 1975', by Let Them Eat Vinyl (under exclusive agreement with Left Field Media) as
a four-LP box set titled 'Live At The Main Point 1975', and in 2014 by Parallel Lines as part of a three-CD set titled 'The Spirit Of The Radio: Legendary
Broadcasts From The Early 1970s' that also includes a CD containing the January 9, 1973 WBCN-FM and April 24, 1973 WMMR-FM radio broadcasts. None of
these releases are officially issued by Sony, rather by enterprising record labels taking advantage of a legal loophole which allows the commercial
release of pre-1992 radio broadcasts that emanate from non-signatories of the 1992 EU Copyright Convention.
As to why the final 63 minutes of this show (from around eight minutes into "Kitty's Back" onwards) are inferior to the first 90 minutes, it seems that the
early part of the show was sourced from pre-broadcast reels (or copies of them), while the latter part of the show is sourced from a recording of the
broadcast itself. In an interview in Backstreets magazine #82 Ed Sciaky offers some important information, "We didn't have a phone line from the Main Point,
so they had to tape the show in hour-long segments and then drive them to the station and put them on the air... and after the final reel had played, Bruce's
to have been subjected to some kind of auto-limiter, designed to limit the volume difference between loud and quiet segments. Unfortunately the effect
prior to this one, i.e. it was not a real vehicle.
Enjoy The Show,
Jeff
