June 26, 1993 | Kristen Ann Carr Fund Benefit: Madison Square Garden

Springsteen headlines this special concert, set up to benefit the research fund named for the daughter of co-manager Barbara Carr and journalist Dave Marsh after Kristen’s death from sarcoma at the age of 19. This would be the first show Bruce would play in New York City since parting ways with the E Street Band, and the last show of the tour supporting his Human Touch and Lucky Town albums. Unsurprisingly, the audience was packed with Springsteen die-hards expecting the parade of special guests (specifically former E Street Band members Steve Van Zandt and Clarence Clemons) who had shown up just two nights earlier at another benefit concert in New Jersey. The loud and negative reaction of some of the members of the audience to the appearance of Terence Trent D’arby — specifically included on the bill as he was Kristen Carr’s favorite artist — would require that Springsteen specifically admonish the audience: “Need I remind some of you rude motherfuckers that everybody onstage is my guest?” Springsteen would perform an eclectic and deliberately chosen set of originals and covers with his post-E Street Band ensemble (along with guests D’arby and Joe Ely), but his mood was visibly off after D’arby’s unfortunate reception.
