REVIEW:

For me Main Point 75 is still the ultimate BTR show but this one is a close second. Maybe some of you think that with the official Hammersmith 75 release all other releases from 75 become irrelevant but I tell you...you're wrong.

The US leg was a different story and here in Atlanta Bruce gives a hell of a show and he and the band are in great spirits. Crancking out many rarities in the form of excellent covers of "It's Gonna Work Out Fine" and "Then She Kissed Me" to name but two.

What makes this release even more worthwhile is the amazing soundboard quality! Godfather did it again and released an amazing new vintage Springsteen CD set. Pacakaging is as usual in the riple gatefold and comes with appropriate photos and 4 excellent bonustracks!

Surely a must have release!

 


That is a great cover shot! I want a copy!

Singing, song selection make this set worth having, but sound is weak, muffled, erratic etc. You can tell the rest of the band is there but you sure can't hear much of them. Occasionally you'll hear sax, piano or guitar, almost as if they wandered into the mic one at a time. Bass is almost nonexistant; drums are thuddy throughout. 6.5 sound rating at best. Hard to Be a Saint is clipped at the end; Sandy is missing the first verse. Get Main POint if you can.
