Hammersmith Odeon London '75

#*Contains a portion of "Come A Little Bit Closer" by Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart and Wes Ferrell and "Theme From Shaft" by Isaac Hayes

Actor, writer and Monty Python member Michael Palin was in attendance and devoted an entire diary entry (Tuesday, November 18th, 1975) to the concert and his first impression of Springsteen and the band.

He notes that the concert did not start until 45 minutes after the scheduled start time, that the PA system made it difficult for him to make out the lyrics, but the band and The Boss "kept the evening alive -- and he did three encores."
