I'm not a Bruce addict, but I like some of his music, saw him live once during the Rising tour...
This cd that I just picked up at Barnes and Noble is as good a live album as I've ever heard. The recording clarity and quality is excellent, so is the E Street band's energy..

I've only seen Bruce live on TV, but those concerts are some of the best I've seen. I think the records are only part of his thing, the concerts are just as important.

I saw the concert on a PBS station - I was really digging the whole "band" vibe, especially Steve Van Zandt (Miami Steve back then). He's a pretty cool guitar player.

I would recommend 2 ANYONE, to buy Bruce Springsteen and the E street
band live in Barcelona. It is FANTASTIC, cant stress how good that dvd
is, its the best Bruce footage ive ever seen as a whole, the atmosphere
is electric, bruce and the band show so much passion for the songs,
Badlands? I thought my heart was gonna burst the first time I seen it,
the place goes wild, even Dancing in the dark is phenomenal! Bruce
even forgets the lyrics on his solo piano spot which is rather amusing,
the climax of ramrod/born to run/thunder road is superb...like I say,
best concert dvd out there along with Sign o the times. Shoot me if im
wrong, buy it

yeah, I just watched that. Amazing. The crowd is almost worth watching on its own. My girlfriend & her friend came in the room while I was watching with the attitude of "the guy was watching his guy video that we have no interest in" and they ended up watching virtually in awe for the last hour or so.

It's such a great album. Going to see him do the "Seeger Sessions" at Asbury Park next week!

I'm really excited. My friend, who's a huge Bruce nut, was like "Please don't make me take my mother, I'll give you the ticket." Um,oooookay, anything for a friend! Hopefully it'll be better than the show I saw at Yankee Stadium, where the acoustics were so bad, it was hard to tell what song he was playing.

I've Never seen him live , the NY concert DVD is very great, I love the moment when Patti sings and he dances to her song.

Saw him at Northrop (MPLS) back in October for his solo acoustic tour. So, so fucking good. Four days til the new album!!!!!
