Date of the show : Various dates from 1975 to 1988
Orange is a new CD-R label. In 2000 they released this cd set, which is said to be the best
release from that year. It is based on the officially released box set Live 1975-85.
All four cd's contain soundboard recordings. Some of them have never before been released
in this quality. Some of them were even unknown to exist until they were released on this
cd set.
The fist cd starts with two songs from the Hammersmith Odeon in London, recorded on
18-11-1975. (Bruce's first show in Europe ever). They are It's Hard To Be A Saint In The City
and The E Street Shuffle in the slow arrangement. These two songs were previously
uncirculated in this quality. Next is Prove It All Night with a great long guitar intro.
The last three songs from this disc are Thunder Road, Jungleland and
Santa Claus Is Coming To Town. Those three songs were taken from the concert at
the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco the day after the famous concert on 15-12-1978.
Santa Claus Is Coming To Town has one of the longest intro story ever used on this song.
The second disc covers the period from 1980 to 1985. The highlights on this disc are
Glory Days (recorded at the Brendan Byrne Arena in NJ), a previously uncirculated Man At The Top
from 1985 and a very thrilling version of Stolen Car, also from 1985. The last two songs on
this cd are Stand On It and Janey Don't You Lose Heart.
Disc Three contains recordings all made during the Tunnel Of Love Express Tour.
Eight of the nine songs on this disc are taken from the show in Copenhagen on 25-7-1988.
They include Chimes Of Freedom, Paradise By The "C", Who Do You Love/She's The One and I'm A Coward.
It also contains the rockabilly version of You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch).
Disc Four opens with the introduction to Follow That Dream. Other songs featured are
Sweet Soul Music, Raise Your Hand and Twist And Shout. All songs on this disc were taken
from the concert in Basel, Switserland on 14-7-1988.
With this cd set comes a great booklet with information about the shows where the songs
were played and some nice pictures of Bruce and the E Street Band.
The sound quality varies from good to very good. The last two discs sounds pretty flat
with not much audience sound.
