Stars: Bruce Springsteen

Summary: The tracklist includes 'My Love Will Not Let You Down', 'Prove It All Night', 'Two Hearts', 'Atlantic City', 'Mansion On The Hill', 'The River', 'Youngstown', 'Murder Incorporated', 'Badlands', 'Out In The Street', 'Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out', 'Born To Run', 'Land Of Hope And Dreams' and many more.

In 1999, Bruce Springsteen reunited with his beloved E Street Band and took off on a mammoth worldwide tour that featured rare performances of gems from his entire career, ending with a triumphant 10-night stand in New York City's Madison Square Garden. This fabulously shot concert film captures songs from the brilliant final two nights, June 29 and July 1, 2000, in which Bruce and the E Streeters pulled out all the stops, tearing up the Garden with exhilarating versions of such old stand-bys as "Prove It All Night" and "Born to Run" as well as such rarer numbers as "My Love Will Not Let You Down."
The show was organized around a killer song cycle of "Youngstown"/"Murder Incorporated"/"Badlands"/"Out in the Street"/and "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out." On this collection those songs are followed by the wonderful new "Land of Hope and Dreams," which closed the show virtually every night, a powerful, optimistic song that would end with Bruce pogo-ing wildly, and a defiant "American Skin," the controversial song Bruce wrote about the Amadou Diallo shooting (and people's safety in general) that led some of New York's Finest to boycott the shows.

There's only one better way than watching Live In New York Cityto experience these performances by Bruce Springsteen and his reunited E Street Band, and that's if you were actually in Madison Square Garden when they were recorded in June and July 2000. The Boss and his band are in top form. Their sheer exuberance at playing together, not to mention the joy and inspiration they provide their audience, are palpable, thanks in no small part to the excellent direction and superb sound. Highlights? Almost everything, from timeless anthems such as "Born to Run" and "Thunder Road" to the riveting "American Skin (41 Shots)" and a bluesy, solo "Born in the USA" All together now: Bruuuuuuce! --Sam Graham, Amazon.com
