Title: early Springsteen classic
Review: This double CD has some great early-period Springsteen songs, all of them punctuated by Clarence's vibrant sax playing. These live recordings really embody what was so wonderful, and vital, about Springsteen in those early days, before "Born in the USA" came around. Listening to this concert also shows that it wasn't just Bruce's songs and charisma that thrilled audiences; it was a band effort. Listen to these songs, smile and remember the greatness of Bruce, Clarence, and the band. Their version of "Quarter to Three," the old Gary U.S. Bonds hit that's one of the encores on this Hammersmith Odeon, show how this band was able to transform an "oldie" and make it their own. This album is nothing but a brilliant rock and roll performance. I'm a believer.
