A legendary night
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 !!
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
Finally the world is ready for......................
At last after 30 years of waiting this show finally see's the light of day - and boy is it worth the wait! As one of those who wasn't there that night I've spent years kicking myself that I missed it. This show rocks from the opening to the closing minute but it was a pity that this wasn't released alongside the DVD. The fan label 'westie recordings' did an excellent job in releasing the show on CDR the day the DVD was released but now, finally, we have Bruce rocking in all his glory. Play this loud, roll down your window and let the wind blow back your hair; we're pulling out of here to win!!!
