Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - 1975-11-24 Hammersmith Odean, London, UK (2020) [Official Digital Download 24/192]

November 24, 1975 at Hammersmith Odeon, a "blaze of a show". With today's Live Archives release of Bruce Springsteen's second 1975 appearance at London's Hammersmith Odeon, an important chapter in his career gets documented in full. The 22-song set — long considered the better of the two gigs, for the E Street Band's dynamic performance and Springsteen's audible, sunny determination — closed out a four-date European tour on one high note after another.

On paper, the mini-tour marked the beginning of a beautiful friendship with a dedicated European fanbase, but it took another six years before Springsteen again ventured overseas. Then, the E Street Band's 1981 European tour lasted for two months, playing 21 cities in 12 countries; they were rapturously received by audiences from Barcelona to Stockholm to London, and the relationship endures to this day. As Jon Landau recently pointed out, Springsteen is "simply more popular in Europe than he is in most of North America." In large part, one can trace that back to the original River tour.

Stevie Van Zandt, for whom the 1981 trek was literally life-changing, had a much different feeling in '75."After that first experience, we were lucky we went back a second time," Van Zandt told Backstreets recently. "It was very foreign to us, and we were not ready for it. We were 24 or 25, and it just didn't feel very welcoming at that point. It was really just four shows — London, Stockholm, Amsterdam,
