I was recently told by someone that Bruce Springsteen played a concert in Cameron at one time. Is there any information about this concert: set list, student impressions, etc.? Also, related to the Springsteen question, can students access archived issues of the chronicle?
ANSWER PERSON RESPONDS: March 28, 1976, seven months after the release of *Born to Run*. He was 26 years old. He’s now 57. See: http://www.brucebase.org.uk/gig1976.htm for a setlist, although it says there were some other unknown songs also played. It credits Rolling Stone and The Chronicle for information (no dates given). Here’s another version: http://db.etree.org/lookup_show.php?shows_key=7292
The Chronicle is electronically archived and searchable from their website at http://www.dukechronicle.com back to 1993. There’s an electronic subject index covering 1989 to June 1996 (six months at a time) at the University Archives website: http://www.lib.duke.edu/archives/pubs/chronndx.html
Earlier printed indexes to The Chronicle are available if you visit the Archives, on the third floor of Perkins Library: http://www.lib.duke.edu/archives/pubs/ Many years, however, aren’t indexed.
The Archives keeps all the old issues of The Chronicle in paper, so you can look in those just after March 28, 1976.
In the Archives you can also see if they have other records of musical events at Duke besides what’s in The Chronicle.
You can get the microfilm of Rolling Stone for March 1976 from the Microforms Dept. in Bostock Library at call number S71, or request the paper issues from the Library Service Center using the library catalog.
