Summary: I have the tape
Review: ...and will be buying the DVD the moment it hits the stands. The only knock against this film could be that it does not show the way Bruce Springsteen normally records, meaning that he is spending months in the studio recording eight songs for every one he releases. Then again, he hasn't recorded in the "normal" way for him since the Born in the U.S.A. sessions in the early '80s and only Ken Burns could make a documentary about a "typical" Springsteen recording session. The VHS tape version is still worth the money, unless they are including the same 5-song CD with the DVD, too. Buy the tape, keep the CD and give the VHS to a relative for their birthday.

Summary: The Boss and the E Streeters at their best!
Review:
Since it was nearly seven years since the last time the E Street Band and Bruce Springsteen played together during the Tunnel of Love and the Amnesty International tours, their coming together in 1995 was a fans dream.
The band members had become more adept at playing their instruments, they had matured some, and it comes out in the numerous renditions of Blood Brothers and Secret Garden (which would be later used in the movie Jerry Maguire) that we get to eavesdrop on like a fly on the wall in the studio.
The E Streeters do an awesome job with Murder Incorporated, a song they'd used for years in concerts, just had never released on an album before.
And when they finally get to This Hard Land, it's Springsteen at his purist; no politics, no agenda, just people and good hard rock and roll.
As a fan I'd cheer the Boss if he did nothing more than sit in a chair with an acoustic guitar and sing for an hour, but what you've got here is 90 minutes worth of behind the scenes goings on, and it's well worth the money.
And if you never have, make sure you go to a concert if you ever have the chance. You'll never forget it.

Summary: Nostalgic E-Street Reunion is Mixed Blessing
Review: A look at Bruce's 1995 reunion with the E Street Band to record additions to the Greatest Hits CD. While some great music came out of this ("Secret Garden," "Blood Brothers," "This Hard Land") there are some throwaways here that don't live up to Springsteen's legacy. Overall, the greatest contribution from this time is Bruce's renewed interest in recording and touring with the E Street Band.

Summary: Great Look At Band Reunion!!
Review: A must have if you are a fan of Springsteen; reunion recording session at the Hit Factory. Reveals the greatness of this band and the painstaking recording process of the band. First time Nils Lofgren actually records with the band.

Summary: Wonderful music documentary
Review: A superb documentary. Even if you're not a big Springsteen fan, this is a great insude look at how an album is put together in the studio. A must have. Unfortunately, it looks like the DVD has no additional features that aren't already on VHS, so you might as well buy the videotape.

Summary: This is the video that lets you see the real Bruce
Review: I really love this video for all sorts of reasons really. First of all Bruce is filmed doing all sorts of things from eating out of a jar of peanut butter to singing to his kids. Patti and the rest of the band do some talking as well. Its so nice to learn about the "behind the sceens" that happens that no one really gets to hear about and this video shows that. Executive producer Jon Landau knows the boss inside and out. He has certainly captured a side of Bruce that proves him to be down to earth and a regular family kind of guy.

Summary: Not really a great product - but absolutely wonderful
Review: I won't repeat what the other reviewers have already, cause they're all dead-on. I had to write this review because nobody else mentioned that fantastic little song they all do in a circle at the end. For me, that makes this DVD a keeper for all time; and well worth the price of this DVD all by itself. The complete togetherness of the band, Bruce, & Patti -
along with fact that it's just a great little nonsense song
never, ever, fails to completely blow me away.
Also, be sure to check out Bruce's interview on the Charie Rose show - you can listen to the entire interview in Real-Audio for free on the Charlie Rose website
or purchase a video copy.
