5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to find but well worth the effort!, January 17, 2003

This import only release is well worth purchasing if only for the epic version of Incident on 57th Street. It contains one of the greatest of Bruce's dramatic, crying guitar solos and is one of the reasons that its rare appearances in Springsteen's setlists are so highly prized by the faithful. The version of "For You" is also a great version that is only available here. Rosalita and Fire are outstanding live songs but are heard in the same version on the Live 75-85 box set. For hard core Bruce tramps only but if you're not one, what's wrong with you???

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Material But Ridiculous Price, April 23, 2003

By 

Jim Mitchell (St. Louis) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Live Collection (Audio CD)

There are two absolutely essential live Springsteen cuts on this CD that are unavailable anywhere else. These were b-sides released on the singles of "Fire" and "War" that came out to promote "Live 75-85". "Incident" is one of Bruce's all-time classic epics, rivaling Jungleland as one of his best and longest songs. "For You" is nice early Bruce, and the live rendition is much better than the studio version on his first album. There is nothing finer than live Springsteen material, and even moderate fans value it above all else in their collections. And it doesn't get any better than the two songs I just mentioned ("Rosalita" and "Fire" are equally good, but already available on his live box-set). But Bruce's live material is a double-edged sword- it is so good that you want as much as you can get, but Bruce is notoriously stingy with his releases in general, and his live material in particular. Why he would make this (and other recent, equally desirable singles) available to much of his fanbase only as a ridiculoulsly overpriced import is completely beyond me. C'mon, Bruce- you're known as a down-to-earth guy who celebrates the common struggles of life. Please make your highly desirable live releases as readily avaialable as possible!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, Essentioal live versions of two classics, June 14, 2006

By 

Kevman (White Plains, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This import has two great live songs available on CD nowhere else. The 10-minute "Incident on 57th Street" here is the finest version of this great song ever done (available only as a single b-side and all versions I heard of the single had loud popping record noise on it - it's clean here). Also this live wersion of "For You" is wonderful. Highly recommended for these two songs. Its a very high priced import, so try to get a good price of it used.
