Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band: Live in New York City

If you're not a big Bruce fan you probably won't enjoy this for more than an hour or so... but if you are a fan, this is a must watch.

Over 50 years old by this point but you wouldn't know it- Springsteen's energy level is off the charts, and while there are a few notable songs missing, the track list is overall satisfying and well balanced.

Highlights include preaching Bruce during the extended Tenth Avenue Freezeout, the sheer joy of Out in the Street's (also) extended rendition, and the whole of Jungleland- particularly the late, great Clarence Clemons' sax solo, which is the best saxophone solo in musical history, and to see a video of him performing it live is something else.

So many goosebumps, so much good music, and also incredibly funny and charming too. Great concert movie overall.

A two disc amalgam of the final performances of 2001's Madison Square Gardens performances by one of the greatest bands in the world of some of the greatest music in the world. The atmosphere positively floods out of the screen to envelop you and the hairs on your neck will be standing on end before the first note has been struck. After watching this you'll believe that The Boss is incapable of putting a foot wrong. By the end, he's only just short of defying gravity.

This trumps just about every other concert ever, Woodstock, Glastonbury, Live Aid, nothing feels like this. As Springsteen himself acknowledges during the show this is not just music. This is religion.

The E Street Band fizzled out after the Human Rights Now tour in 1989.

After working solo and with other performers, Bruce released an anthology of unreleased/outtakes Tracks album in 1998 and reunited with the band for a world tour.

The final two shows formed part of this concert film. This was an enjoyable celebration of the bands music from the early days to the Born in the USA era and a few songs from Tracks and some new material including (American Skin) 41 shots which was a controversial song choice dealing with race and police brutality.

The concert is the band together again, enjoying themselves and truly rock the joint.

The band would come together to make a new album, but this concert marks the celebration of an era of a band before they got back to start another phase of their story with The Rising.

I am 53, have been a fan of Springsteen and the E Street band since 1977. Once I listened to Born to Run a few hundred times, I bought his previous albums and bought or listened to all since. I am not a Springsteen junkie but if the opportunity arose, I might be. Sitting here, watching Bruce and E Street PERFORM with my 6 year old grandson whom we are raising...he is a fan, too...well, words can't suffice. The effort, the skills, the know how, the experience, the joy, the camaraderie, the fun, the sheer talent and patience and age of the performers shows itself. I saw two of his shows live, late 1970's at at Louisville Gardens in Kentucky and 1985 at Lexington, KY. If anyone can show (or tell) me a rock performer who puts more effort into a show than Bruce, please do. I will watch or attend, it would have to be life-affirming. I'm sure some do put out as much effort, but more? Let me know. And I don't mean a burnt out once in a while performance but a show to show guaranteed live wired gut-wrenching performance. This DVD is certainly a great example of a loving rock star and his band at their best. Nuf said.

Bruce Springsteen, the maestro of rock. Estreet Band, the backbone of the bosses rock. This dvd feautres the last two concerts on their reunion tour, held at Madison Square Garden.

This is a touching concert with Bruce & the Band. When they burst into laughter & tears you can't help the enormous smile inserted in your face.

The bells are sometimes replaced with screaming guitars with make some songs a little bit more stiff but that's only a minor quibble. Most of the versions here are great. The River, Born to Run & Tenth Avenue Freeze Out are truly amazing.

If you want your moneys worth you have to got this dvd, one of the best musical-dvds out there. Long live the boss!
