5.0 out of 5 stars
A legendary night,
By
This review is from: Hammersmith Odeon, London '75 (2CD) (Audio CD)
I was lucky enough to be at this legendary show and to this day clearly remember it as the most exciting Springsteen concert I've seen (and I've seen all his UK shows). Mainly because he was such an unknown quantity in the UK then and had yet to become the international stadium superstar. The album's sound quality is A1 and took me back to that November night when the little (next to Clarence) 27-year-old guy in the big woolly hat and baggy pants redefined what a live rock performance should entail (perfect musicianship mixed with a 'last chance power ride)'. I've never lost the memory of the change in pace from the frenzied Mitch Ryder medley to Bruce taking the stage alone to accompany himself on piano for the plaintive "For You". The atmosphere is captured perfectly on this album. Hard to believe for years Springsteen judged his incredible first night Hammersmith performance as one of his worst (mainly because he hated the record company hype that night). Nice to see in his liner notes that he acknowledges how wrong he was! I never saw Dylan at the famous "Judas" concert in 1966. But Bruce at Hammersmith in November 1975 will do just fine

Yes it's THAT gig !!,
By
This review is from: Hammersmith Odeon, London '75 (2CD) (Audio CD)
I was unlucky enough not to have tickets for this legendary concert - let's face it they were like rocking horse doo-dah - but listening to this is just like being at the gig.Like they say if the number of people who claim to have been there WERE actually there he'd have had to have played 5 nights at the Maracana Stadium to have fitted everyone in !! All you need is some dodgy T shirt sellers outside and away you go. This really is the sound of a band at the start (and height) of their powers and man do they rock.It's hard to believe that this was 30 years ago as the band sound as tight (but endearingly sloppy - does that make sense) as they do now. Highlights for me are "Bormn to run" and the "Detroit Medley" along with some of the older stuff that he doesn't play these days like "Kitty's Back". "Jungleland "is as wonderful as ever though

One of the great live albums,
By
This review is from: Hammersmith Odeon, London '75 (2CD) (Audio CD)
Live albums are normally highly unsatisfactory; you get all the lows - bum notes, croaky voices - and few of the highs - chest rattling volume, the shared excitement of being there with so many other people.
This is a massive exception. Hard to believe it has taken 30 years to see the light of day (no pun intended) because it is simply majestic. It reminds you how truly great the E Street Band were in their prime, how they combined rock and roll power and joyous abandon with stunning musicality and amazing subtlety. Bruce is in great voice, a huge contrast to his occasionally tuneless rasp these days (age catches up ...) and puts in a stunning performance. The voice and piano "Thunder Road" is comfortably the best rendition of this glorious song I have ever heard - and I've heard a few! The highlights are many, and the only lowlights really are where visuals are required: Bruce hamming it in "Spirit in the Night" and "Kitty's Back", stuff you really need to see. But if you have ever wondered what the fuss was about Springsteen live, listen to this. It's a long way from the big, loud stadium shows that he has done for so many years now, and welcome reminder of the true greatness of a legendary performer and an inspired and inspiring group of musicians. Brilliant.
