Review

Uncut (p.122) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "The likes of 'Spirit In The Night' and 'It's Hard To Be A Saint In The City' offer vivid insights into the road that Springsteen and his band had travelled."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.126) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "The E Streeters' operatic showband bombast reached a watershed during this period..."

Title Note

This excellent two-disc concert set captures Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performing in London for the first time in 1975. Recorded just after the release of BORN TO RUN--which would ensure the Boss's place on the rock-&-roll map for all eternity--the HAMMERSMITH ODEON concert represents a young band bursting with ambition, attitude, and energy, and ripping through a set with the hunger that has rightfully conferred legendary status upon Springsteen concerts.

From the spare opening version of "Thunder Road" to the rollicking "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)," Bruce is in fine form here, and his band--shifting between soulful R&B, jazzy explorations, and spit-fire rock--plays like a monster. In fact, there is a ragged leanness to the band's style that would begin to ebb some years later, and while Springsteen's backing ensembles have remained powerful and ferocious up into the 2000s, there is something pure and beautiful about this particular group. As such, it is a genuine must-have for any rock-&-roll fan.

5 out of 5 stars One of the Greatest Springsteen Shows Ever!, December 10, 2008
By Rock and Roll Guru
This is why we call him The Boss. I felt like I was back at a Springsteen show from the early days as I listened to the concert from the Hammersmith Odeon in London from 1975. Ive actually got a 30-year-old warped vinyl copy, but the sound quality on that one is atrocious and the warps made the needle bounce up and down on a couple of the songs. So I was absolutely delighted when I came across this release of the show. Long regarded as one of Springsteens greatest concerts, this two disc set is fan-freaking-tastic. Its what high energy, kick it out live rock & roll is all about. In other words, the E Street Band in all their raging glory. From the opener of "Thunder Road" to the closer of Gary U.S. Bonds "Quarter to Three," I was completely captivated and back under the Boss spell. Ive always felt Springsteens first three albums were his seminal work, and after hearing the 17-minute version of "Kittys Back," followed by extended versions of "Jungleland" and "Rosalita," Im more convinced of that than ever. This desert island disc is pure magic.
