Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band - Spirit In The Night (1978-07-07, The Roxy)
Bruce Springsteen and girlfriend Diane Lozito at The Main Point, 1973
From a post by “Earthslayer” on the Greasy Lake Community Forum:
Bruce and Diane started going out during summer ‘71 (she’d just graduated HS) ) but they split up in late ‘71 (which inspired “For You”- though it’s literal storyline is fiction)….they got back together in mid-72 and were together until early 1975 - she dumped Bruce, it was amicable though……then a couple/few months later Bruce met Karen Darvin.
Diane is the real “Sandy”…..she’s “Rosalita” too……she’s the girl in “Thundercrack”, she’s the ‘Crazy Janey’ in “Spirit In The Night” and she’s the ‘Terry’ in “Backstreets”.

Backstreet Records: T-shirt: Welcome to Scenic Greasy Lake
Take home your very own souvenir from “Spirit in the Night“‘s magical, mythical Greasy Lake, courtesy of our friends at Protect, the National Association to Protect Children. This is another in their line of T-shirts from fictional locales, all to benefit the work that they do, and they’re letting us make this one available to our readers through Backstreet Records. Bruce Springsteen biographer Dave Marsh helped dream up the perfect T-shirt for anyone who’s ever wanted a wild night of freedom out on Jersey’s Greasy Lake. This is our favorite kind of “Springsteen” shirt: subtle, but those in the know will get it in a flash. And it might be as close as you get to catching a concert by a soul fairy band. Two-sided, on a black Anvil Organic pre-shrunk 100% organic cotton tee. Proceeds go to benefit Protect.org.
