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.
