1975: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band make their debut in the UK, performing at London’s Hammersmith Odeon Theatre. Springsteen is extremely upset at the over-the-top hype for the show and personally storms around the theater tearing down signs and posters that declare “Finally, London is ready for Bruce Springsteen.”

Although legend has it that Bruce and the band turned in a sub-par show, both a CD and DVD of the concert have been released in recent years that prove otherwise. The show is the band’s typically excellent live performance.
