"CBS Annual Sales Convention"

Date confirmed in Gillian G. Gaar’s “Boss: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band - The Illustrated History” (“the CBS Annual Sales Convention, held in L.A. on July 22”); the fact that The Jacksons headlined the performance confirmed in “Brucebase Wiki” (more reputable source will be updated when found)

Convention promoted as 'The Family Of Music-1976' and featuring four artists from the corporate roster, each performing thirty to forty minute sets – Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes (who opened), Starcastle, Dave Mason, and headliner The Jacksons (featuring Michael Jackson). Springsteen attended and made a guest appearance with Southside Johnny on guitar for "The Fever" and on duet vocals for "I Don't Want To Go Home". Needless to say Bruce received a nicer reception from the reps at this convention than he had before (see July 27, 1973 listing).
