Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 81.8/100, a mean average of 81.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.4.

One of the finest live albums i've ever heard
I'm going to third the "greatest live album ever" appraisal. The songs are absolutely great and the energy is incredible. Even though this was done after Born to Run, the band almost sound like they flew from the WIESS sessions to England. I will always appreciate the impeccable production that was the Born in the U.S.A. tour, but from a purely musical perspective, this is the best the E Street Band ever were live.
It will be released on vinyl for Record Store Day 2017!
The greatest live album ever made in my opinion. This is the recording of Bruce Springsteen's first ever show in the U.K. It's absolutely stunning. You can tell Springsteen is fired up for this, a little nervous even. The wonderful, thunder road, kicks off the show in it's acoustic piano incarnation, then the band roars in with, tenth avenue freeze out. The energy is infectious, it's like the band are playing for their lives, it's that intense. There's excellent versions of great Springsteen songs, such as, she's the one, spirit in the night, and the majestic, jungleland, which features Clarence Clemon's greatest ever solo on a Springsteen track. There's a cool, slowed down version of, E street shuffle, and some nice improvisation from organist Danny Federici on Kitty's back. Rosalita, is great as always, and the concert climaxes with a fantastic cover of the Gary'US' Bonds hit, quarter to three. The listener is left breathless. There are some great live albums, The Who's, live at Leeds, and Dylan's 'albert hall' gig, this is up there with them.

Best live album ever made, if you ask me. Literally not a single bad song. Not even an average one. And the performance is just so full of energy and emotion. What a beautiful album.
This is a full concert recording of Bruce's first show in Europe. He played with a fire like is career was on the line. If this were released in 1976 it'd be considered iconic, but alas it was released much later.
