what's going on?
this is a good site, a lot of effort goes into correct and dependable information

Feb 12 - Prior to the start of this show there had been a heated argument/scuffle between road manager Steve Appel (manager Mike Appel's brother) and drummer Vini Lopez. Springsteen, after discussing the altercation incident with Mike Appel by phone following the show, then asked Lopez to submit his resignation. Consequently this turned out to be Vini's final show with the band. The sudden departure of Lopez would force the cancellation of the trip to Ohio and the next three scheduled shows.
1974-02-18 - THE AGORA, CLEVELAND, OH
Cancelled concert, never rescheduled. Planned as one show, double bill, with Springsteen and band headlining and country-rock band L.A.W. opening. The cancellation was caused by the sudden, unplanned departure of drummer Lopez following the show in Kentucky on February 12.
