Bruce Springsteen - Live On Air (DVD)

Bruce Springsteen - The Rising

Advantages: emotive, personal
Disadvantages: -

Shall we say something of a different review from me this time round. Modern rock aside, grunge gods given a break and onto one of the most respected musicians of my era. Bruce ?The Boss? Springsteen is a man that has always known how to connect with his audience, whether it be through a 10 million selling album, a appearance on any one of the numerous American late night talk shows or even a John Kerry political rally, he?s a man with a great influence on the public. The music he makes gets to the point and is direct, generally incorporating beautiful harmonies as heard on ?Born In The USA? and ?Streets Of Philadelphia?. Despite not being what you would consider a fan, I find it very easy to sit back and listen to his music and feel genuinely emotive. He?s a man that, if you don?t respect as a person, then should definitely respect as ...

Review of Rising, The - Bruce Springsteen

Bosstime for Charby

Advantages: Excellent band, very well recorded, explosive performance
Disadvantages: Don't be silly!

the Springsteen gig atmosphere in our living room. When I came home for a couple of days recently my mam insisted on having these DVDs on almost constantly, especially his Live in Barcelona DVD, which I m reviewing for you now. The live show contained on this DVD was filmed on the 16th of October 2002, two months into the E Street Band?s world tour following the release of The Rising album a mere three months earlier.

My favourites include... well, ALL of this album to be honest, but the best performed song from The Rising on this DVD has to be Mary?s Place, in my opinion. The happiness and power that comes out of the band while playing this song is phenomenal, and since Bruce introduces the E Street ...

Review of Bruce Springsteen - Live In Barcelona (DVD)

Springsteen - Live in dublin

Advantages: Some great tracks
Disadvantages: Not typical Bruce

Ok, I'll start by saying I am one of the biggest Springsteen junkies out there who believes the guy can do no wrong. All I can say about this album is that it is very different from what you would normally expect. Don't buy this expecting a classic Bruce live performance. That said it is really a very good offering. A few old favourites get a re-working including Atlantic city, Open all Night and Grown Up. However the track of the album has to be American Land, the song now being used to close out nights on his current tour. Full of power & energy. Not a lot more to say about it really, but worth getting just for American Land, which has otherwise not been released. ...
