Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes’ first concert with major public exposure hosted by Philadelphia radio station WMMR-FM and broadcast on syndicated stations throughout the northeastern US. This was effectively a celebration of the recent release of Southside’s debut album I Don't Want To Go Home. The producer of the album, Steven Van Zandt, was onstage playing rhythm guitar for most of the show. And what a lineup of guests it was! Bruce Springsteen joins for one song, the closing "Having A Party".

The entire show is available on the boots 'Beginnings' or 'Beginnings (and More)'. Black and white video footage shot from the audience also circulates.
