I was lucky enough to see Springsteen in concert before Born To Run. Those were the days - no problem getting tickets to his concerts. And this show will illustrate why a ticket to an E Street Band show is so valuable. Few performers could connect with an audience the way Springsteen can. Whether he is performing a solo acoustic concert or with the entire E Street Band as he does here, Springsteen makes you feel he's singing only to you and channeling everything you believe about cars, love and rock 'n roll.
This is the classic E Street Band, all young and with a lot of hair on their heads and faces. Garry, Danny, Miami Steve, Mighty Max, the Big Man, Roy and the Boss. What a lineup!
Hard to believe but the hype surrounding Springsteen at this time actually understated just how good the E Street guys were live. These guys are right up there with The Allman Brothers pre Duane's death or the Stones around Sticky Fingers or The Who at Isle of Wight as the greatest rock bands. Plus they are still performing today.
The set list is classic E Street.
Thunder Road (acoustic); Tenth Avenue Freeze-out; Spirit In The Night; Lost In The Flood; She's The One; Born To Run; The E Street Shuffle; It's Hard To Be A Saint In The City; Backstreets; Kitty's Back; Jungleland; Rosalita; 4th of July Asbury Park; Detroit Medley (Devil W\ A Blue Dress-Good Golly Miss Molly-CC Rider-Jenny Take A Ride); For You; Quarter To Three
The DVD comes with the 30th anniversary edition of Born To Run and is worth the price as a stand alone product. The fact that you get remastered Born To Run and a 90 minute doc on the making of the album is a bonus.
This is a chance to see one of the greatest performers and bands at the height of their talents. Long live rock 'n roll!
