Rated 6/10

I concur with others that this is a completely unnecessary addition after five studio albums from the same artist. Boo to the submitter. The album itself was fine, although Bruce sounded like he was in the middle of a poo on several occasions.

Rated 10/10

I really, really enjoyed this, despite complaining about too much of The Boss on the original list. This live recording really captures his character and his energy, and I really wasn't expecting those extended jazz freakouts. Gains a point for what sounds like Janine from "Spinal Tap" shouting "turn the guitars up!"

Rated 4/10

I respect Springsteen but it just isn't for me so this was kind of a slog.

Rated 8/10

awesome performance, still not a fan of the voice or melodies.

Rated 6/10

I'm joining the chorus of voices here saying we don't need more Springsteen or 2-hour live albums on this list.

HOWEVER: This recording is phenomenal, so I can't give it a low score. The raw energy, the interplay of and with the E-Street Band, the sheer power of Springsteen's still-young voice. A live recording that truly surpasses the studio versions of the songs.

Rated 4/10

Suprisingly solid for a two hour, Bruce Springsteen live album. That is to say, a two star.

Rated 8/10

Holy god Bruce, you sound like a really aggressive Tom Waits. After that 2 hour tour de force, my ears are tired and sore. That man rocked the shit out of those brits.

Rated 8/10

I'm not sure we need another Springsteen album on the list, and I'm not a huge fan of including live albums. However, I loved this, and it is such a famous show (and had a proper polish before release) that it probably deserves a place. Either way, a great nomination.

Rated 5/10

Not minding it! Springsteen’s an artist where the original list was actually really helpful for learning to appreciate him a lot more.

Rated 2/10

Greeeaaat. Yet another Bruce Shit-stain album. And two hours of this trash? You nominated an album over two hours long to strangers. You thought it was a good idea to say to hundreds, if not thousands, of strangers, "Hey, listen to this two-hour live album!" GET FUCKED IN THE FACE UNTIL YOU PUKE.

Rated 4/10

I do like Bruce Springsteen but there is already enough of him on the original list, and I’m not a fan of live albums, so this one is a miss for me.

Rated 6/10

I'm a big fan of The Boss, and this is his prime, with some interesting versions of these iconic songs with different arrangements, but I'm just not a huge fan of live albums in general, and that second disc with the longer numbers and covers kinda drags.
