Bruce and band begin rehearsals in Asbury Park

Today was the first of a series of rehearsal sessions at Asbury Park’s Convention Hall. Apparently Bruce didn’t want fans to hear from outside, as big speakers were placed outside the hall, blasting radio station WJLK 94.3. Stan Goldstein reports: «The band started playing early today, around 9 a.m. Someone who was there early said they did get to hear four songs before the speakers started blasting WJLK».
