- On April 26, 2003, the Marc S. Zeplin Foundation presented "Tramps Like Us," the Ultimate Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band tribute at the Lions Den on Sullivan Street in New York City. This event was a great time, as it was a true celebration of music and great memories.
Among other things, Marc was a huge Bruce Springsteen fan. In addition to his passion for Bruce, Marc enjoyed many nights in the village going to see Tramps Like Us re-create the magic of Bruce and the E Street Band with family and friends. Therefore, it is only fitting to pay tribute to Marc and raise money for the foundation in his honor with a special performance by Tramps Like Us, in their first appearance back in Greenwich Village in five years.
