REVIEW:
At first I thought I was dealing with a remake of the excellent Wild Card Teardrops On The Tower release but I was in for a surprise.  Mountain Of Love contains an incomplete but VERY COMPELLING show from December 31, 1975 at the Tower in Philly! The show is stunning and so is the quality making this a must have releas.  What we have here are unreleased multi track production reels recorded for an eventual live LP back then and what a great release it would had been but hey: Long Live The World Of Bootlegging! All hail the Godfather for this excellent title. The show is nothing short of breathtaking especially the slow "10th Avenue Freeze Out" an inspiring "Spirits In The Night' a haunting "Jungleland", I can go on.  Just 9 songs but what a recording! I start repeating myself so just rush out and go and get yourself a copy before all 500 are sold out!


I have had this title for over 2 weeks now and it's still not easy taking it out of the cd player. Another great 75 performance from Bruce & E Street - what a surprise ! Throw in great sound and there you go. Like Balk said , go out and get a copy - thanks.

This show has also been released as "The Lost New Year's Eve" on the Vintage Masters label, for those who can't find the Godfather release

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this CD. The sound quality and performance is outstanding and since there's not many high quality 75 shows, I found it a welcome addition to my collection. Definately one of the best Springsteen finds in recent years. We can only hope for more from the vaults!

This one is "must have" as the quality is really good. Pretty Flamingo is a big highlight on this cd. I definitely recommend picking up this one
