Bruce's audition to become a member of the Castiles. This audition is believed to have happened on June 5th. See <a href="/events/19650603-01">1965-06-03</a> for more details on the dating of these events.
<br><br>
The song "Haunted Castle" is listed here, but it could also have appeared at the Vinyard rehearsal on June 3. I found an interview with George Theiss from 1986 with Mike Carosi of the Commonwealth Times (Virginia Commonwealth University student newspaper) who said the following:
<div id="quote">
<blockquote cite="https://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/com/508/">
<p>
Times: When Bruce came back the next night after he was told "to come back when he learned five songs," do you remember what the songs were?
<br><br>
Theiss: You're talkin' about ancient history. Let me see, what were we playin' then? I think one of them mighta been the B-side of "Louie Louie": "Haunted House."
</p>

The Castiles play a show at a trailer park. According to an interview with Bruce, there was a support act consisting of "this other country music band who had an accordion, a bass guitar, a guitar player, and a little girl who stood on a stool and sang into one of these big RCA/Victor microphones, like in them old Shirley Temple movies.".
<br><br>
Details for this event come from <i>Backstreets #57</i>, in a transcript of an interview Bruce did for Swedish radio in 1975. |

<blockquote>
<p>
Perhaps the oddest show played by the band, was at the Marlboro State Hospital. Springsteen later recalled, “This guy in a suit got up and introduced us for twenty minutes, saying we were greater than The Beatles — then the doctors came up and took him away.’
George Theiss added further detail, “There was a woman who was trying to seduce everyone and some guy was running around screaming “Banzai! Banzai!”

The Castiles play a dance for children of military personnel at Camp Evans. Little else is known about this gig, aside from the fact that it was here where Bruce was given some lyrics by two kids at the dance, which he then turned into "Sidewalk", one of his first known songs. There is no recording or known lyrics for this song.

The Castiles open for New York band the Florescents. Believed to be their first public advertised nightclub appearance, it is organized by area promoter Normal Seldin, who in 1972 would have his own band, Norman Seldin and the Joyful Noyze, featuring Clarence Clemons.
