New from the Springsteen archive: December 12th, 1975 – Greenvale, NY – C.W. Post Dome

As the seventh year of Springsteen's Live Archive Series comes to an end, Nugs' special tradition continues with a seventh Christmas bonus, and once again it's far from being comparable to coal in a stocking. Following The Legendary 1979 No Nukes Concerts of November and the opening night of the legendary Nassau Coliseum concerts earlier …

Retro E Street Review: August 15th, 1975 – New York, NY – The Bottom Line

With his third album, Born to Run, set to be released on August 25th, Bruce Springsteen's agent and Columbia Records saw fit to raise excitement, as well as help promote Bruce to a wider audience, with ten shows across five days and nights in New York's The Bottom Line. Playing one show in the afternoon …

Retro E Street Review: The Main Point Night – February 5th, 1975 – Bryn Mawr, PA

I can remember the moment I was introduced to this show remarkably well given it happened about eight years ago now. I'd gotten back from watching Sunderland play away at West Ham (We drew 1-1 I believe) and was played a "Jungleland" featuring, believe it or not, a guitar solo. I was a relatively newer …

Previously from the Springsteen archive: December 31st, 1975 – Upper Darby, PA – Tower Theatre

Until The Roxy '75 arrived in December 2018, Upper Darby '75 stood out as the lone Archive release from a period of Springsteen's career that fans can't help but want more of. Though it wasn't the only release from the era - remember, Hammersmith Odeon '75 had been available for nearly a decade at this …

New from the Springsteen archive: October 18th, 1975 – West Hollywood, CA – The Roxy

As Bruce Springsteen prepares for his final week in the Walter Kerr theatre on Broadway with what can be suggested as the epilogue of a near-fifty year career, the Archive Series is taking us back to the start through a show that works perfectly in comparison to Springsteen on Broadway as evidence of his rise to superstardom. …

The Springsteen Archive Series has given fans both old and new the opportunity to revisit and discover shows from Springsteen's career dating all the way back, as of writing, to 1975.

Retro E Street Review: November 18th, 1975 – London, UK – Hammersmith Odeon

"Finally London is ready for Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band" The release of this famed night in London as part of the Born to Run 30th Anniversary box set back in 2006 can be looked as a very big moment, as it was essentially the first example of a show being fully released from the …

E Street Review: Springsteen in Lisbon, PT – May 19th, 2016 – Bela Vista Park

I can vividly remember watching this show live as it aired on the aptly named LiveXLive premium stream in the early hours of a Friday morning. I hadn’t been listening to the music of Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band much at the time, but as always, the prospect of watching live Springsteen couldn’t …

E Street Review: Springsteen in Gothenburg, SE – July 23rd, 2016 – Ullevi

Gothenburg, and Sweden in general, is a very special place in E Street Band folklore. The late, great, Big Man, Clarence Clemons has cult hero status in the country as his marriage to a Swede led him to spending a lot of time touring the country when promoting his solo work. The connection between Sweden …
