Here's an image of Bruce Springsteen and members of the E. Street Band at a sound check at the VCU Franklin St. Gym, February 14, 1973. Springsteen and his band opened for for Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks.
By the time Springsteen and the E Street Band played this 1973 show, the New Jersey rocker had played nearly 30 shows in Richmond with at least four of them at VCU.

I was there.
It was Dan Hicks I'd come to see, didn't even know there was a warm up group. I was fairly new in town and had never heard of Bruce Springsteen. Needless to say I was completely blown away by the performance of this "unknown". Spent the next day trying to find out who the heck it was that I'd seen.
The date listed here does not correspond to my recollection.
I'm pretty sure it was the Halloween show Oct. 31 1973.
The venue is correct the "Old Gym" as it was known.
Also saw Bonnie Raitt, Sun Ra, Gil Scott-Heron, and other great shows there thanks to the VCU Concert and dance committee.
