We Say...
Where Springsteen and company had made their reputation in the years prior to Born to Run was on the stage; indeed, Springsteen’s biggest champions in the early ‘70s could be heard lamenting that the records, as good as they were, didn’t really capture the raw electricity and energy of a Bruce show. This sprawling set charts his evolution from raising the roves of clubs to doing the exact same thing in arenas. Among the never-before-heard (officially, at least), or at least rarely heard, goodies include a version of "Because The Night," the collaboration with fellow Jersey poet Patti Smith that became her biggest hit; a nod to folk and classic rock roots with Tim Hardin’s "Reason To Believe;" and, inevitably, The Boss’ take on Tom Waits’ "Jersey Girl."

They Say...
Long before he sold substantial numbers of records, Bruce Springsteen began to earn a reputation as the best live act in rock & roll. Fans had been clamoring for a live album for a long time, and with Live/1975-85 they got what they wanted, at least in terms of bulk. His concerts were marathons, and this box set, including 40 tracks and running over three and a half hours, was about the average length of a show. In his brief liner notes, Springsteen spoke of the emergence of the album's "story" as he reviewed live tapes, and that story seems nothing less than a history of his life, his concerns, and his career. The first cuts present the Springsteen of the early to mid-'70s; these performances, most of them drawn from a July 1978 show at the Roxy in Los Angeles, present the romantic, hopeful, earnest Springsteen. The second section begins with his first Top Ten hit, "Hungry Heart" -- this is the Springsteen of the late '70s and early '80s, an arena rock star with working-class concerns. After an acoustic mini set given largely to material from Nebraska -- songs of economic desperation and crime -- comes a reshuffling of Born in the U.S.A., songs in which the artist and his characters start to fight back and rock out. Finally, he brings it all back home to New Jersey, starting with the unofficial state anthem, "Born to Run." Fans could rejoice in the seven previously unreleased songs, but Live/1975-85 wasn't as funny, moving, or exhilarating as a Springsteen show could be. Maybe no single album could have been, but where Springsteen impressed in concert because he tried so hard, here he seemed to have tried a little too hard to make a live album carry the freight of everything he had to say.
