    The next best thing to being there...

    Recorded over the course of the final two nights of the New York City stand in 2000, this DVD set features the entire HBO broadcast and a bonus disc featuring another whole set of material. Taken collectively, the two discs are approximately the length of a typical concert during the 1999 - 2000 "Reunion" tour.

    Casual fans will enjoy straight-forward renditions of some of his most well known songs such as Born to Run, Thunder Road, and Badlands. To keep it interesting for fans and for the band, some of the classics are presented in vastly different arrangements. The River is slowed down and fleshed out in an arrangement that would not be out of place in a film noir soundtrack. Atlantic City and Mansion on the Hill (both from 1982's Nebraska) sound completely different as well. Atlantic City is delivered as a full throttled rocker and Mansion on the Hill sports a country feel. Born in the USA is stripped down to a stunning solo acoustic number (leaving no doubt as to the meaning of this widely misunderstood song).

    Fans of Bruce's early work will be delighted by the inclusion of a spot-on Lost in the Flood (from 1973's Greetings from Asbury Park, his debut album) and The E Street Shuffle (from 1973's The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle (played in it's entirety over the closing credits). Die-hard fans will appreciate the inclusion of several "outtakes" including the opening My Love Will Not Let You Down and Murder Incorporated (both recorded for 1984's Born in the USA), and Don't Look Back and The Promise (both recorded for 1978's Darkness on the Edge of Town).

    Highlights include stellar renditions of war horses such as Prove it All Night, Ramrod, Jungleland, Backstreets, and a blistering Light of Day.

    Also included is a 15 minute documentary featuring interview clips with the band as well as snippets of songs not included in the concert proper such as The Promised Land and Blood Brothers.

    Having played together for over a year, the band was in peak form when this video was recorded. Highly recommended.

    3.5 hours of heaven for Bruce fans right here

    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.

    ''Through the Badlands onto the Backstreets''

    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!

    A wonderfully fun, emotional man, a great band..captured

    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.

    The Boss is back

    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.
