Roxborough resident Art Reilly “didn’t know Bruce from a hole in the wall.” Then he helped light and produce some 75 of Springsteen's early shows in the Philly area.
“For two-and-a-half years, my life was Bruce,” Art Reilly said to me over the phone. “If there was a [Bruce] concert within 150 miles of Philly, we were on it: North Jersey, Delaware, Pittsburgh.”
He was working at Barrington’s Edmund Scientific, producing its light show when Marc Brickman asked Reilly to join him in Philadelphia, working for MacAvoy lighting. . He was just another local band that had a good sound, and they paid on time. 100 bucks a night for a roadie like me. That was great.Did you tell your friends about him?
