 inside look at E street band Jul 05, 2006
This was a very good look at a band that clearly are friends.The dynamics in the studio are amazingly loose.Clearly Bruce had it worked out in his mind but let the band members bring their own creativity to the process.
They had not been in the studio in years yet were able to bring it together in what appeared to be fairly quickly.
The depth of feeling between band members was obvious and felt real.
Very enjoyable and some great music.
Wonderful, wonderful! Feb 15, 2005
This DVD is exactly what I hoped it'd be. Intimate.
Tender. Gritty. Real. Getting to see the band together
again, the nervousness, the ease with which they get
back into the groove is great. Having a window into
these moments is priceless. It's the closest I'll ever
get to the band I'm sure, and I'm grateful they allowed
us this glimpse into their lives, the band, and the
process of recording. There were a few moments
when the emotion of the songs and their collective
delivery, reduced me to tears. One special moment
to me is when they celebrated Clarence's birthday
at the studio. That's good stuff. Worth every
penny. There's no way to recommend it highly
enough, to old fans or new!

A collectors dream................... Feb 21, 2004
This a nice little edition to my collection of Bruce films. I bought this the day it came out, very good and very insightful on how the songs are created. Bruce just comes into the room and starts playing the songs while the other guys are taking notes, its like a classroom on how to build a song. Its like Bruce wants them to find a way to make the song sound good with there ideas.... hes very generous in that way...I thought it was cool the way he treated the gentlemen with the version of Secret Garden with the strings on it, he treated him decently even though that pompus idiot Bob Clearmountian didnt like it, glad he was outvoted...I personally liked the strings version myself...anyways buy this , you will like it....
Great for any music lover Feb 19, 2004
This is a great DVD not only for the Bruce fan, but for anyone who is interested in how records are made. This DVD takes you right inside the studio like no other documentary I've ever seen, from Bruce showing the guys the songs on his acoustic guitar, right down to the tracking and shooting of the video. You'll not only hear from Bruce but from all the members of the E-Street band, the producers and the engineers, as to what it's like to work with him. There are plenty of classic studio "spinal tap" moments, including Bruce chattering on for five minutes in complete nonsense about the "narrative" of the record and if the new string part on "Secret Garden" interfered with the narrative, they shouldn't use it..."so let that be your guide," and then walks out leaving them in absolute confusion. And then there's Clarence Clemens' melodramatic about the "melodies that were written millions of eons ago" that he's just going to snatch out of the air. This is a very entertaining DVD for all lovers of music. Highly recommended

If you love Bruce, this is a must see Dec 20, 2003
Two films come to mind when watching this, The Beatles "Let It Be" and The Stones,"Sympathy for the Devil". I would rank this below the former and above the latter. If you love Bruce, this is a must see. One qustion though, why do they devote so much time to his manager talking about the friggin' Press Relase? Is this all that managers do?
