It's hard to know how one should listen to a live recording of Bruce Springsteen. Songs like Thunder Road and especially Born to Run are obviously driving songs, but you can't play these versions in a car unless you're not the kind to be embarrassed when a canned audience rapturously greets your ability to break at a red light. And this recording of the Boss in November 1975, soon after the release of Born to Run, the album that catapulted him to fame, is too exhausting to play while pottering about the house: pumped with guitar solos, glittering with brass, it's the sound of a young band flexing its musical muscles and revelling in its own power.

Detroit Medley finds them rattling through a string of rock'n'roll hits as though their own place within American musical history depended on it. Backstreets is strident and declamatory, and there's so much energy surging through Rosalita (Come Out Tonight), the band barely seem to be in control of the song. But there are quieter, calmer moments, too, not least in a ravishing rendition of Thunder Road.

The jagged, youthful earnestness of Springsteen's voice, as he importunes the object of his affections to run away with him, is somehow irresistible. And the moment when he sings "roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair", backed by the simplest of romantic piano chords, is unexpectedly drenched in spine-tingling magic.
