Here is a good place to start for live recordings : The Bruce Springsteen mp3 Bootleg Index :: Index

The Live at Hammersmith, London '75 is a good starting point. It covers early material up to and including Born to Run, and the sound quality is terrific. After that, I would recommend a 1978 bootleg. Passaic Night is very good (sound quality and performance), so is the performance at the...

A lot of the music that we would define today as "cerebral" originated as essentially dance music : classical music, jazz (Duke Ellington comes to mind as a good example evolving from dance clubs to concert halls).... Then again, it is also hard to describe what "dance music" is, because you can...
