A review by Squonk on Live 1975-1985 - Bruce Springsteen
March 19th, 2001


Author's product rating:   Live 1975-1985 - Bruce Springsteen - rated by Squonk

Originality Definitely a cut above the rest 
Lyrics Sublime 
Quality and consistency of tracks Flawless 
How does it compare to the artist's other releases Good 
Value for Money  

Advantages: A great live release from one of the great live acts of the last twenty - five years
Disadvantages: A lot of music if you're not a die hard fan, it's also pretty expensive and a newer, cheaper live release will be available imminently

Recommend to potential buyers: yes 

Full review
Never let it be said that Bruce Springsteen does things by half; while most of today's live acts are happy to churn out run-of-the-mill live albums every 5 years or so, when The Boss finally released a live recording it was something to write home about and really gives a flavour of how good he is on stage.

Live recordings made with the E-Street Band (who he recently again toured with after a long absence, a tour from which a new live release is due in April 2001) between 1975 and 1985, the 3-CD set contains 40 tracks making up nearly four hours of music and every minute of it is fantastic; no Springsteen fan should be without this.

The tracks are very different to their studio counterparts and he clearly puts his all into every one. The energy and musicianship is beyond reproach. Picking stand-out tracks is tough since it's all fantastic stuff, but in my view he gives the best performance of Thunder Road available. This is one of the best live releases out there and simply indispensible, although some may prefer to wait for his upcoming live release.
