The Boss at his best

Actually, you should buy a music lover who also loves sophisticated sound, no live albums. Mostly you get bad Recorded concerts delivered, on which one the audience can hear better than the artist. In addition, the live feeling can not reproduce anyway. But exceptions prove the rule: Let us begin by Springsteen's gigantic triple album "Live 1975-1985" to mention that at the time made me a fan of the "Boss". Everything that makes it, you get it delivered in the highest quality. Since last year, but this ultimate masterpiece has some competition. "Live in New York City" goes one better, because after many years without the E Street Band one notices Springsteen and the band that regained enthusiasm with every song on. The performance is adjacent to a "ministry of rock'n roll", as it says in the CD booklet, and that is not promised too much. Springsteen and the band celebrate a Mass of rock and roll and soul that has no equal in songs like "Prove it All Night", "Two hearts", "Murder Inc." or "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out". Old baby as "The River" are offered in a new look and also offer the long-established fan always something new. Another highlight of the socially critical "American Skin (41 Shots)", where Bruce once again not only the voice of the underclass, no even the voice of the "ordinary man" at all is and make his lyrics for goose bumps. Overall, really very big rock'n'roll theater at the highest musical, sonic and textual level.
