I picked up a new CD this past weekend, titled 'Bruce Springsteen & the E Street band, Hammersmith Odeon, London '75'. This is the best CD I've bought in quite a long time.
If you are a Springteen fan, this is a *must have*. This is a complete concert, 2-disc set lasting over 2 hours. Although this performance was recorded in 1975, the sound quality is excellent--very clean, very tight. It sounds as though it were recorded much more recently. The performance is typical outstanding, high-energy Springsteen in all his working class, teenage coming-of-age and angst glory. He and his band perform many of their classics, but my favorite cut is on disc two, titled 'Kitty's Back'. The guitar and piano highlights on the song are absolutley electric. The song lasts for nearly 17 minutes, and never does it wear out its welcome! I would love to see a series of CD's like this released, similar to what's been done by the Greatful Dead and, if I'm not mistaken, Pearljam.
Very highly recommended!
