Live/1975-85

Encyclopedia : L : LI : LIV : Live/1975-85

Live/1975-85 is a live album by Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band. It consists of 40 tracks recorded from that era. It was released as a box set with either five vinyl records, three cassettes, or three CDs.

Two singles were released from the box set: "War" (a cover of the Edwin Starr hit), and "Fire" (a Springsteen song already familiar from other artists' recordings of it). The music video for "War" was from the concert where it was recorded, while the video for "Fire" was from a completely unrelated 1986 acoustic performance at a Bridge School Benefit concert. A third video, for "Born to Run", was also released, which showed a melange of clips from the band's 1984-85 Born in the U.S.A. Tour.
