From an historical standpoint this show was important for the wonderful performance of "A Night Like This" (often referred to by collectors by the title "Dance On Little Angel" or Bruce’s original working title "Angel Baby"). Springsteen, identifying it as "a new song" but not mentioning the title to the crowd, Although "A Night Like This" bears no common melody or lyrics with "4th Of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)", the two are stylistically similar and set along the summer Jersey shoreline.

Lyrics

I like the way you walk
I like the way you talk
Let me hold yo' hand
Try to understand

I want a girl like you
Tell my troubles to
You won't be afraid
You heard what I said

Let the four wind blow
Let 'em blow, let 'em blow
From the east to the west
I love you the best

Let the four wind blow
Let 'em blow, let 'em blow
From the east to the west
I love you the best

I like the way you walk
I like the way you talk
Let me hold yo' hand
Try to understand

I want a girl like you
Tell my troubles to
Don't be afraid
You heard what I said

Let the four wind blow
Let 'em blow, let 'em blow
From the east to the west
I love you the best

Let the four wind blow
Let 'em blow, let 'em blow
From east to the west
I love you the best
