Jeff’s Playlist: Hammersmith Odeon London 1975

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band — Hammersmith Odeon London 1975

Recorded in 1975 and released in 2006, Hammersmith Odeon is prob­a­bly Springsteen’s best live album. I par­tic­u­lar­ly like this ver­sion of “Thunder Road.” Give it a lis­ten; I know you’ll like it.
