Bootleg review from The Promise:

Orange is a new CD-R label. In 2000 they released this cd set, which is said to be the best release from that year. It is based on the officially released box set Live 1975-85.
All four cd's contain soundboard recordings. Some of them have never before been released in this quality. Some of them were even unknown to exist until they were released on this cd set.

The fist cd starts with two songs from the Hammersmith Odeon in London, recorded on 18-11-1975. (Bruce's first show in Europe ever). They are "It's Hard To Be A Saint In The City" and "The E Street Shuffle" in the slow arrangement. These two songs were previously uncirculated in this quality. Next is "Prove It All Night" with a great long guitar intro. The last three songs from this disc are "Thunder Road", "Jungleland" and "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town". Those three songs were taken from the concert at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco the day after the famous concert on 15-12-1978. "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" has one of the longest intro story ever used on this song.

The second disc covers the period from 1980 to 1985. The highlights on this disc are "Glory Days" (recorded at the Brendan Byrne Arena in NJ), a previously uncirculated "Man At The Top" from 1985 and a very thrilling version of "Stolen Car", also from 1985. The last two songs on this cd are "Stand On It" and "Janey Don't You Lose Heart".

Disc Three contains recordings all made during the Tunnel Of Love Express Tour.
Eight of the nine songs on this disc are taken from the show in Copenhagen on 25-7-1988. They include "Chimes Of Freedom", "Paradise By The C", "Who Do You Love/She's The One" and "I'm A Coward". It also contains the rockabilly version of "You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch)".

Disc Four opens with the introduction to "Follow That Dream". Other songs featured are "Sweet Soul Music", "Raise Your Hand" and "Twist And Shout". All songs on this disc were taken from the concert in Basel, Switserland on 14-7-1988.

With this cd set comes a great booklet with information about the shows where the songs were played and some nice pictures of Bruce and the E Street Band. The sound quality varies from good to very good. The last two discs sounds pretty flat with not much audience sound.
