Now watching and recording a concert of Springsteen with the e street band in 1975 on bbc4. I wasn't even born.

Unbelievable musicians, apparently first time shown in Europe, must have been doing the rounds on a bootleg.

Never been a springsteen fan but holy @*@!. You can stick your pete doherty's, arctic monkeys, libertines, and that type of crap where the sun don't shine!
