Provenance:
From the private collection of Harvey Goldsmith

Harvey first saw Bruce Springsteen in New York at the Bottom Line in early 1970s when he was the opening act. He was amazed at his performance and on meeting him backstage said that he must come to the UK. Springsteen's response was that it was his first time in New York! It was two years later that Harvey was finally able to promote him at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1975.
