What a show!!!,
By
This review is from: Hammersmith Odeon, London '75 (2CD) (Audio CD)
I was lucky enough to see Springsteen in Ottawa two weeks after the Hammersmith show. It was definitely one of my all-time favourite concerts. The show took place at our National Arts Centre (2,000 seater), a site much more accustomed to ballet or classical music. The set list was pretty much identical and in no time he had the audience in the palm of his hand. People were literally dancing in the aisles. I've always thought that Springsteen's best material came from his first three albums, which unfortunately didn't quite capture his power. This performance eclipses those records and presents Springsteen at his best - live - playing his strongest songs.

Spirit in the Night,
This review is from: Hammersmith Odeon, London '75 (2CD) (Audio CD)
This is the most memorable version of Spirit in the Night. This is absolutely Bruce at his best. I would love a clean video of it. I've only seen the one that is very dark and hard to make out.

"Sparks fly on E Street...",

This review is from: Hammersmith Odeon, London '75 (2CD) (Audio CD)
in 1975, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band rolled into London for their first ever visit to Europe. they were on tour to promote the recently released "Born to Run" album and the hype in the British press was overwhelming. as the press often does, there was a sense that they were building them up so they could knock them back down again. upstart Americans and all that.this is a band with something to prove. they sound nervous and at times it seems like they're about to go off the rails, but they definitely smoked up the joint. they're obviously not as tight as they would become, but considering that three of the musicians had been in the band less than a year they were already a rip snortin' road band who could stand with the best of them. (Roy Bittan, piano; Max Weinberg, drums; Miami Steve Van Zandt, guitar - although Steve and Bruce were old friends and had played together before. in fact, Steve only joined the band when the "Born to Run" record was almost completed.) Clarence Clemons is definitely the star of the show (other than Bruce, of course) standing dead centre in the mix and blowing his heart out on almost every track. the music is much more R&B influenced than it would be later in Springsteen's career and i hear Van Morrison's influence all over this, much like Bruce's second album, "The Wild, The Innocent and the E Street Shuffle". random thoughts: some of the tunes, 'Born to Run' in particular, are taken at rampaging tempos which adds to the sense of being practically out of control. 'The E Street Shuffle' is reworked from a rollicking soul tune to a Drifters style ballad (ala 'Up on the Roof'). it's great to have a version of the 'Detroit Medley' which is basically Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels' 'Devil With a Blue Dress/Good Golly Miss Molly/Jenny Take a Ride' medley that was a mainstay of the E Street repertoire for years. there's a long, smokin', version of 'Kitty's Back' with keyboard solos (Danny Federici on organ and Roy Bittan piano) and Bruce and Clarence jam on 'Moondance' half way through the song. they quote Isaac Hayes' 'Theme from Shaft' in the middle of a blistering version of 'Rosalita'. it's also nice to have live versions of some of the tunes from the first two albums that are not on the "Live 75-85" box set. i.e., 'Lost in the Flood', 'Kitty's Back'. conclusion: for all of Springsteen's side trips into "folk music" for lack of a better term ("Nebraska", "The Ghost of Tom Joad"), THIS is where he really belongs. fronting the E Street band and going for broke.
