------
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, with 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 (
/exec/obidos/artist-search/Edwin%20Starr/%24%7B0%7D )'s "War",
Tom Waits ( /exec/obidos/artist-search/Tom%20Waits/%24%7B0%7D )'s
"Jersey Girl" and Woody Guthrie (
/exec/obidos/artist-search/Woody%20Guthrie/%24%7B0%7D )'s "This
Land Is Your Land" and rare versions of originals such as
"Because the Night", "Fire" and "". 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.
