Mike Appel on Springsteen

Mike Appel, Bruce Springsteen’s first manager (1972-76) recalls in his website his adventure at the recent Buffalo concert. He was personally invited by Springsteen and flew in and out with the band’s jet. Bruce dedicated to him that night’s performance of his first album Greetings from Asbury Park NJ, produced in 1973 by Appel («to the man who got me in the door. Mike Appel is here tonight — Mike, this is for you.»)

In his blog Appel tells the full story of that night and includes several pictures with the band, Jon Landau and Bruce.

The Other Education, por David Brooks @NYTimes:
«…on the night of Feb. 2, 1975, I turned on WMMR in Philadelphia and became mesmerized by a concert the radio station was broadcasting. The concert was by a group I’d never heard of — Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Thus began a part of my second education». David Brooks recuerda en su editorial cómo descubrió a Springsteen gracias al concierto en el Main Point de Philadelphia retransmitido por radio en 1975.
