Noteaka You Can Trust Your Car To The Man Who Wears The Star

Born To Run was still six months from rock 'n roll history when The Boss and his henchmen settled into the Main Point on February 15, 1975.

Recorded just over a year after You Mean So Much To Me and despite the dark violin harmonics and backing vocals of Suki Lahav (the first woman to break the E Street glass ceiling), this disc spotlights the leap from the sound of '74 to the blazing fearlessness of Born To Run. With Mighty Max manning the skins, the band raves up Born To Run, She's the One, Saint In The City, and the premiere of Thunder Road (known then as Wings For Wheels), Back In The USA and Mountain Of Love.

If Bruce chose 'sucks to describe the preceding performance, I get to pick the correct adjective for this one. Possessed is clearly the defining word for these driven, haunted performances of Spirit In The Night, Saint In The City, New York City Serenade, Sandy and a thrilling E Street Shuffle. You kinda of get the feeling that he senses he knows he?s on the precipice and he seems more than ready to jump! You Can Trust Your Car. . . was one of the first Bruce'legs ever, cherished by collectors and long available on vinyl under the same title. On CD it is known as The Saint, The Incident and The Main Point Shuffle. By any name, it's a true keeper if ever there was one.
