Wow how great it was to receive the Bruce Springsteen CD. I love it especially Jersey Girl. His songs tell stories with his sexy tone totally wrapped.
Curiosity has always made me want to own this set since the hysteria surrounding it's original vinyl release in the 1980's... It's taken me 2 decades to finally get round to purchasing it.. As usual e.bay has come to my rescue. So instead of paying over £20 for this 3 disc set in the high street stores, I managed to pick this up for around £7 (including postage)... It's obviously a mammoth set with 40 songs to choose from . Kicking off at the beginning of disc one with the full on 'Thunder Road', then keeping up the pace all the way to the end of the 3rd disc with '10th Ave Freeze Out' and 'Jersey Girl' .... The gigs take in the years 1975 - 1985. Featuring the famous E.Street Band line up... All the favs are there from 'Rosalita', 'Hungry Heart', 'Badlands', 'Born In The USA', 'The River', 'War' 'Darlington County', 'I'm On Fire' and 'Born To Run'... It's as good a live album as you could wish for. Personally I still prefer the studio versions, though this doesn't detract from the quality of both the recordings and the atmosphere created... The in between chat is in particular enjoyable, as Springsteen works the crowd with stories and anetdotes in the way only a real pro could.. A lot of the times being very emotive into the bargain.. There's a large colour booklet with the package. Though to be honest it looks as though they have simply scaled down the vinyl packaging to fit the cd booklet... There's full lyrics enclosed, but a bit on the small side to say the least (probably just a sign of my age)... A very recommendable set, especially if you can pick up an e.bay bargain.++++++++Read full review

Springsteen's music spans generations. he is a storyteller, poet, and social commentator. Along with his earthy rock'n'roll, his comment on all the bad things about the country he loves, are intertwined with anecdotes, which rather than in front of thousands of people, could be told one to one across a bar, which is why 20 years on, he is still the master of his art.
