In what proved to be a legendary performance, as well as the longest show of the entire "Born to Run" tour, the band came out as the crowd was leaving and launched into a 5-song encore.
GENUINE FIRST PRINT AND VERY DESIRED FOR MANY REASONS. IT WAS A VERY SIGNIFICANT PERIOD OF SPRINGSTEEN'S CAREER.
Oct. 31 1975 was his very first performance at Paramount Theatre.
The show opened with acoustic Thunder Road. Produced by Bill Graham, who acted as the evening’s MC. As the LONGEST show of the entire 1975-76 Born To Run Tour, courtesy of an extended, 5-song encore section.
Following the 3rd encore Bill Graham came out and told the crowd the show was over. Seeing the roadies beginning to tear down, most of the crowd filed out. However after half the crowd had left the auditorium they heard wild cheering erupting back inside the hall and immediately turned around and went back – Bruce and the band were plugging in for more.
THUNDER ROAD / TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT / SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT / THE E STREET SHUFFLE / KITTY'S BACK / ROSALITA (COME OUT TONIGHT) / DETROIT MEDLEY / QUARTER TO THREE / FOR YOU / TWIST AND SHOUT / MEETING ACROSS THE RIVER / CAROL
No other set details known. Produced by Bill Graham, who acted as the evening's MC. At two-and-a-half hours one of the longest shows of the entire 1975-76 Born To Run Tour, courtesy of an extended, six-song encore section. Following the third encore Bill Graham came out and told the crowd the show was over. Seeing the roadies beginning to tear down, most of the crowd filed out. However after half the crowd had left the auditorium they heard wild cheering erupting back inside the hall and immediately turned around and went back - Bruce and the band were plugging in for more.

The show got a none too complimentary review in the San Francisco Chronicle, although the reporter only managed to stay for the first twenty minutes. Reviews in the Stanford Daily and Los Medanos College's Experience were more positive, and add a few more songs to give us the very incomplete setlist above. The reviewer in the Experience refers to "a smouldering version of an old twisting song"; this is probably "Quarter To Three". "For You" is solo piano. The final encore include an unusual placing for "Meeting Across The River", and the final song, "Carol". Please get in touch if you can help us with the setlist.
In the same week that he’s featured on the covers of both Time and Newsweek, Springsteen and the E Street Band make their Seattle debut in a brilliant, unforgettable performance that emphasizes his showmanship. The long concert includes almost all the songs from the band’s classic first three albums, plus covers.
