Bruce Springsteen Live At The Main Point Bryn Mawr 1975

Live At The Main Point, 1975 is a recording of a Bruce Springsteen concert that has been released in the UK and is available for sale on Amazon.co.uk.

This February 1975 recording has been one of the most celebrated Bruce Springsteen bootleg albums for many years as it catches Springsteen previewing Born To Run to his fans at the Bryn Mawr club in Philadelphia. It has a very different sound to Hammersmith Odeon London recorded later in the year.

I understand that different copyright laws mean that these recording can be legally released but I’m not a lawyer so I’m just reporting what I’ve read elsewhere. I think it would be great if Springsteen could officially released it. If he’s not happy about the recording quality and doesn’t want to profit from it, he could donate the royalties to charity.

10cc In Concert 1975 (King Biscuit Flower Hour)

10cc In Concert is the UK version of the King Biscuit Flower Hour recording of all the original members of 10cc performing live from the Original Soundtrack tour in November 1975 in Santa Monica.

Strangely, the performance didn’t include any of the tracks from thealbum they were recording.

At least this is the proper 10cc, unlike Live and Let Live and 10cc Live.

Peter Frampton Frampton Comes Alive 1975

Frampton Comes Alive, a live album by Peter Frampton recorded in 1975 and released the following year to become the best selling album of 1976.

I have to confess to being mystified by its success.

I didn’t get it when some of the other kids at school were raving about it in 1976 and I still didn’t get it when I finally bought it a couple of years ago when I realised I was going to base my album collection on live recordings.

It’s one of those albums that so many people like that makes me think I must be wrong.

Bruce Springsteen Hammersmith Odeon London 75

Hammersmith Odeon 75 captures the first visit by Bruce Springsteen to the UK in 1975 after Born To Run was released.

The retrospective Live 1975 – 85 is a very comprehensive collection of Springsteen live but fans were critical because it was a live performance compilation.

Hammersmith Odeon is how long-standing fans really want to hear Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band play live – a complete concert that captures the excitement and passion of a Springsteen gig.

Bruce Springsteen Hammersmith Odeon 75 Overall Rating – 29/30
