 Having Fun Sep 25, 2008
If anything, this shows how much fun making music can be. What a great atmosphere. Wish I would have been there. Once more, Bruce shows not only being the greatest singer, songwriter and entertainer of the 20st century, but still having the passion and energy to take his bandmembers and audience to heights they never knew existed.
Great Springsteen Sep 24, 2008
As soon as I saw it at a friend's house, I knew I had to have it. Great lyrics, great melodies, great sound. Most entertaining.
I don't usually like live recordings, but... Jul 02, 2008
I saw this on PBS and it was amazing...so I ordered myself a copy of the DVD after enjoying the CD for a while. I'm not normally a fan of life recordings (even Springsteen's), but this is different. The band is having a great time, the music is amazing, sound quality is excellent. The "Sessions Band" is not the same as the E-Street Band, and though both are great, this is a unique treat.

 Yawn Jul 01, 2008
I'm a fan of folk music and classic Springsteen but it was a chore to sit through this DVD. No one can question the musical skill or energy of this performance. The engineering production was also very good.
But the performance was conceptually flawed in my opinion. Most of the folk tunes would have sounded better solo or with a minimal accompaniment. Instead we get a huge band with a huge sound that seemed out of place to me. Simple tunes can easily lose their simple charm under such conditions.
There are some Springsteen classics in the mix. I usually enjoy the retreatment he gives to his classics in a live concert but this time he missed with every single one. Given the other (high) ratings for this DVD I must put all this down to a matter of taste.
A great performance Jun 19, 2008
This Blu-Ray DVD is a joy and view and to listent to. Unlike some performance DVD's Bruce and Dublin Session band are fun to watch. Everyone is having a great time and performance is rock solid. Now this is NOT the E Street Band. They perform a few songs from the E Street Band catalog but the majority is from the Seeger sessions and other solo material. So if you expecting an E Street Band type of performance your going to in for a surprise. I enjoy seeing Bruce stretch out and he's obviously having a great time. I rarely buy DVD's but I'm glad that I own this one. I'll be viewing it many times
