    Editorial Reviews:

    From Amazon.com
    To say that Springsteen's live shows with the E Street Band were legendary is the height of understatement. On a good night, the set might extend to three and four hours of exhilarating, pulse-pounding rock & roll. How best to capture that on CD? Or was it possible at all? As it turns out, Live 1975-1985 comes as close to the experience as possible. Culling material from various tours and settings ranging from small rooms to stadiums, the three-CD set emphatically displays Springsteen's charisma as a bandleader and storyteller and makes plain the sheer power of the E Street Band. Some of the many highlights here include covers of Edwin Starr's "War," Tom Waits's "Jersey Girl," and Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land" and rare versions of originals such as "Because the Night," "Fire," and "Seeds." And relax--all the hits are here as well. If you never saw Springsteen and the E Streeters back then, you might still get your chance. But this set chronicles a special time in the life of a special performer. --Daniel Durchholz

    5 out of 5 stars awesome   January 28, 2005
    An awesome collection of Live Boss at his best. The Promised Land, Darlington County, Bobby Jean, BTR, Racing, Darkness. The covers on this album are awesome as well: Jersey Girl, This land is your land, War. Also on this album are hits Bruce penned for others such as Because the night( Patti Smyth) and Fire( Pointer Sisters).

    Buy this, you won't be dissapointed.


    2 out of 5 stars Not what I expected   June 29, 2004
    0 out of 2 found this review helpful

    I have been a long standing fan of Springsteens, and old enough to have bought Born to Run when it was first released. I also had the pleasure of seeing Springsteen live at the Madison Square Garden the year after The River was released, and it was absolutely amazing.

    So I was very diassapointed to hear the collection of lifeless, uninspired performances on this album.

    This album is actually boring, which I didn't think I would ever be able to say about live Springsteen. Who ever chose the material for this album did a very poor job.


    5 out of 5 stars The Boss   December 8, 2003

    One Of The Best Live Sets Ever.I Think His Intros Are Just Excellent And Never Out Of Tune.The E Street Band Is Probaly One Of The Best Back-Up Bands In The World Today.I Recommend This Boxed Set To Everybody,You Won't Be Disappointed I Promise.


    5 out of 5 stars I have enjoyed this recording for about 15 years   November 15, 2003
    I remember the moment I got the boxed set of vinyl records and put the side one of the first record on the turntable. I was a teenager and it was a magical moment on christmas day.

    I admired everything from the cover of the box to gig pictures on the booklet of the boxed set. But the music - that was unearthly - I guess there wasn't a day when I didn't listen to at least one song from these records.

    Time of the turntables has passed, but I am happy this CD set has turned up. Again I can enjoy those magical moments with deeply touching music and great performances.


    5 out of 5 stars AWESOME ROCK POWER   October 10, 2003
    Pieter (Johannesburg)
    This is an absolutely brilliant live set that captures all of the raw power and the beauty of Springsteen at his best. The performances are awesome and the atmosphere is electric. What makes the album special is hearing songs like Because The Night (a hit for Patti Smith) performed by Bruce himself and songs like Nebraska in full rock mode. The rock instrumentation lends Nebraska new depth and poignancy although I love the acoustic version too. Another favourite is Fire, tender, anguished and passionate with amazing vocals. Born To Run is a real tour de force, gaining lots of energy by the live ambience and the enthusiastic applause. Jersey Girl, made famous by Tom Waits, provides another highlight in its wistful delivery with the achingly beautiful organ and Bruce's voice taking a tender turn. This song is pure poetry with its gripping images and wailing sax. Promised Land and Born In The USA also deserve special mention and of course Bruce's wonderful version of Woody Guthrie's This Land Is Your Land, but there are no bad moments and the whole Live album is one captivating listening experience.
