Summary: A Religious Experience
Comment: This is my favorite rock and roll album of all time. An electrifying, hungry, and unforgettable Bruce Springsteen performance as he and the E Street Band are on the brink of greatness in their first overseas gig: London in November 1975. The energy of the crowd, the time and place in history, the band, and the Boss rushes out of the CD and, as your heart begins to race, you feel as if you are truly there. I have never felt so alive listening to an album.
To Sony: please release more Springsteen concerts from the archives. His place in music history demands it.

Summary: "Hey man, did you see that?"
Comment: This is actually not my favourite Springsteen-period; I prefer the 1978 and 1981 tours and the material from "Darkness on the Edge of Town" and "The River". (For God's sake, Bruce, release the 1978 Passaic concert on CD and DVD!)
But this is just such a phenomenal concert, so full of energy and power and intensity. Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band play like there's no tomorrow, and the sound is magnificent, clear and crisp and probably better than what the 5,000 people at the Odeon in West London heard on that night more than 32 years ago.
The music encompasses both the grand and the gritty, moving effortlessly between tender, soulful piano ballads and furious, breathless hard rock. Pushed forward by the keyboards of Roy Bittan and Danny Federici and the pounding drums of Max Weinberg, the E-Street Band tear through pulsating, burning renditions of "Lost In The Flood", "She's The One" and "Born To Run", and swing and swagger on the Van Morrison-inspired Jersey soul of "Spirit In The Night", "Backstreets", "Rosalita" and "Sandy".
There's even a bit of actual Van Morrison tacked on to the 17-minute "Kitty's Back", a snatch of his classic "Moondance" from the album of the same name.
The set opens with a sparse, tender and desperate "Thunder Road" and closes with a tough, driving and slightly ragged "Quarter To Three", propelled forward by Clarence Clemons' sax. Great, great stuff. And just about everything in between is equally great. Some may find that a couple of numbers are overlong, but with performances like these you can surely forgive a couple of minutes of indulgence.
Four and three quarter stars. A magnificent live recording.

Summary: Wish I'd been there
Comment: A quality listen from the first second to the last. Great song choice , great pacing , great song sequencing.I can only imagine the energy at the show. Bruce takes the audience (and now the listener) through high after high. Wish I'd been there.

Summary: CD Review
Comment: This CD was not as good as I thought it would be based on newspaper reviews. I liked other albums better.
