In answer to the sceptic who thinks we all work for Mr Landau, I was there and have seen the opening track on Youtube as filmed by [...], so would like to think that rest of the concert is filmed in the same way! The concert was fantastic, but the final set by Bruce and the E Street band was the closest someone as young as myself is probably ever going to get to seeing these guys in their prime. Glastonbury was a warm up for this show remember, and for those who caught that on the BBC, or live, believe this was one step up! They gave it their all, and when a group like this with a frontman like The Boss give it their all, you simply can’t ask for anything more. By the way I don’t work for Bruce or Mr Landau in any form, other than to shout loud and proud about anything Bruce and the E Street-er’s release that warrants such devotion. Having said that, bar what should have been a double album from him in the mid 90′s, (Human Touch and Lucky Town), which had some great tracks, but lacked that certain something, I’ve shouted for everything i was alive to see released, from Tunnel of love, through Tom Joad, the seeger sessions and Magic! Come on, the greatest rock front man, with the greatest comrades backing him up! This is not to be missed. And if you have any jobs going Mr Landau get in touch!

. . . and blew us all away !!
I was there
It will be great.
And if you know where to look you can find DVDs of the Jersey gigs – and I am told (ahem) that they’re pretty good too !!!
I was lucky enough to catch Bruce at three gigs on that tour and he was wonderful each time – trust me from what I have seen, read and heard about this DVD/blu ray you won’t be disappointed

I was there too – and this was just a phenomenal show. I watched the footage from Glastonbury on the BBC the night before and when I got to this show, I was just blown away. Sky Arts broadcast excerpts from this concert last autumn, which, I guess, were just a teaser for this release. If I have a complaint, its that there should be more from the Glastonbury performance on here. But, The River, with steam coming off of Bruce, in a field of flags was just astounding
