After seeing the boss in person several times I get a feeling it's impossible to capture that "being there" spirit on a studio album. This hard to find set does just that. We saw Bruce and the "ESB" in Buffalo on 3-7-08. They played the Bruce-Patti Smith collaboration "Because The Night", thats not on any of the other Springsteen releases, except this one. There are also plenty of other early Bruce tunes on this set that go way back to my introduction to his music in 75. I decided to pursue this set based on that recent performance. I set out to find a set at an affordable price and this dealer met that need. Great CD set, and great service from this dealer.
Fast delivery and the recipiant of this gift went crazy...a real Bruce fan! This cd is extremely hard to find in the record stores....so this was a real treat for this gift!
Excellent live album by the boss. All fans of Bruce Springsteen should own this box set. Highlights include "No Surrender" recorded on the "Born In The USA" tour and an excellent version of "War" originally recorded by Edwin Starr. A good overview of Bruce live in concert. For those who did not get an opportunity to see Bruce in his prime and for those like myself that have seen Bruce at his best are lucky to have this collection to listen to for years to come.
