Info
The above lyrics are for the live 31 Aug 1978 performance of HAVING A PARTY at The Agora in Cleveland, OH, with Southside Johnny and the Asbury jukes. This rendition of HAVING A PARTY features a bit of Curtis Mayfield's IT'S ALL RIGHT as an intro.

This was a Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes gig that started about three hours late because, as Southside stated, they had to wait for their lead guitarist Steven Van Zandt to get done with another gig across town. Bruce Springsteen joined the band in the second set for three songs: THE FEVER (which also featured Clarence Clemons), I DON'T WANT TO GO HOME, and HAVING A PARTY (which also featured Roy Bittan). Soundboard tape and excellent pro-shot video footage are circulating among fans.
