This is for an original ticket stub for the July 8 1981
concert performed by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at the newly
opened Brendan Byrne Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford New Jersey. Bruce and
the band would christen the new arena by playing a six night stand to open
Jersey’s newest multi purpose arena. This would be the homecoming leg of the
bands “The River” tour, and the band would start out by playing at the arena on
July 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 and 9. The show from July 9 would be recorded and released
as part of the Bruce Springsteen Archives in 2020. With some of the sets on
this tour lasting over 4 hours, the band was making a name for themselves as
marathon performers. The set from this show would include:
An amazing 27 songs with a break after Thunder Road and a
break before the 3 song encore. Simply incredible. The stub is blank backed, is a nice full stub and
displays great. A must have for any Springsteen fan, especially his hard
core New Jersey fans.
