Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - Live In New York City (2-DVD)

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band's first tour in 10 years ended with an emotional series of 10 concerts at New York's famous Madison Square Garden. HBO received six Emmy nominations for their acclaimed film Bruce Springsteen And The E-Street Band, which featured 14 performances from the last two Garden shows. This special package includes the original HBO broadcast, as well as an additional 80-minute sequence of 11 songs never before shown. This deluxe home release also includes a 15-minute featurette entitled New York Serenade, made up of behind-the-scenes interviews with Bruce and all the E Street Band members and additional unreleased concert footage. Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band: Live In New York City captures the energy and spirit of Bruce and the band like never before.

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.
