Captured in London at the Hard Rock Calling Festival on June 28, 2009 in HD, the 163-minute film documents 26 tracks of live Springsteen that begin in daylight and progress through a gorgeous sunset into night. Viewers are able to see Springsteen spontaneously directing the E Street Band and shaping the show as it evolves. The set list spans from 'Born To Run' era to 'Working On a Dream' and includes rare covers such as The Clash's "London Calling," Jimmy Cliff's "Trapped," The Young Rascals' "Good Lovin'," and Eddie Floyd's "Raise Your Hand." Springsteen also performs fan favorite "Hard Times (Come Again No More)," written by Stephen Foster in 1854. Brian Fallon from The Gaslight Anthem joins the band as a guest vocalist on Springsteen's own "No Surrender." GRAMMY and Emmy Award-winning producer and editor Thom Zimny and director Chris Hilson, both members of Springsteen's video team dating back over a decade, oversaw the film. Audio was mixed by Bob Clearmountain.

His enthusiasm is infectious and seeing Springsteen live is an experience. This DVD captures him at age 60 doing what most people half his age couldn't. Some of the songs gave me goose bumps. A great follow up to his Live DVD in Barcelona.

I couldn't wait to buy this Bluray of the "Boss" but someone should call in the Trumpster (your fired!)on this one. The volume of Springsteens voice and the highend of the soundtrack is recorded so high that it must be listened to at a real low volume. I wish I could return it.

For anyonewho's never seen the "big show" this presents an accurate depiction of what it's like to be there. The camera angles are great, as well as the set list and enthusiasm of the British crowd. It's a little different and awkward for Bruce, because it's a "festival" rather than arena setting, and he's a little more removed from the crowd than normal, but man, does he work hard to connect with his audience for three hours! Cinematography is gorgeous as the concert is shot from afternoon daylight into night. Blue Ray is fantastic! If you love rock & roll, buy it. You'll always remember every Bruce show you've attended...or you just haven't seen one yet! Now you can do so without leaving your home!
