Amazon.co.uk Review
There's only one better way than watching Live In New York City to experience these performances by Bruce Springsteen and his reunited E Street Band, and that's if you were actually in Madison Square Garden when they were recorded in June and July 2000. The Boss and his band are in top form. Their sheer exuberance at playing together, not to mention the joy and inspiration they provide their audience, are palpable, thanks in no small part to the excellent direction and superb sound. Highlights? Almost everything, from timeless anthems such as "Born to Run" and "Thunder Road" to the riveting "American Skin (41 Shots)" and a bluesy, solo "Born in the USA" All together now: Bruuuuuuce! --Sam Graham, Amazon.com

5.0 out of 5 stars E Street reunion not just nostalgia, 11 Nov 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Bruce Springsteen - Live In New York City [DVD] [2001] (DVD)

In this world of manufactured pop and hype, it's nice to know that there is still room for Bruce Springsteen. Captured on the final two nights of last years New York City stand, This DVD shows a band still putting its self on the line night after night. The performance through out is excellent and it is nearly impossible to pick highlights, but the extras not broadcast on the HBO special are really the icing on the cake, with wonderfull fun in the middle of Light Of Day where Bruce lets New York know where it would be with out the Garden State (did you know that the Statue of Liberty was in New Jersey ? )and fantastic versions of Jungleland and the rarely played Lost In The Flood. As Bruce says he can't offer life everlasting- Just life right now.
And that's more than good enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get it, get it, get it now, 6 Oct 2002

By	"stemmo29" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bruce Springsteen - Live In New York City [DVD] [2001] (DVD)

I doubt you'll ever see a better recorded performance from a rock band *anywhere* than you'll see on this DVD. At once raw and refined, energetic and relaxed, these guys are sheer professionals but also are, quite obviously, having an enormous amount of fun. The songs are mainly classics, but there's enough rarities there to please those with a full Springsteen catalogue. There's a great version of "Jungleland", a terrific urban story, and a traditional account of "Born to Run" - these are probably my favourite two Springsteen songs, although "Youngstown" is starting to grow on me. Everytime I look at this DVD I marvel at Bruce's energy, and the musicianship of Weinberg, Lofgren, Bittan, Federici and Clarence Clemmons. According to the additional material on the DVD this is the first time Nils Lofgren and Steve van Zandt toured together, so with Springsteen's trusty Telecaster the three guitars really gives the band some oomph. I've always wondered about Patti Scialfa's contribution though, as she seems to be always singing and strumming but rarely heard in the mix. But then again, who cares - the product is excellent and these guys leave most of today's 'bands' for dead.

5.0 out of 5 stars Power and Passion, 19 Dec 2004

By	P. M. Ash (Hertford, Herts United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What a band! What a performer! What a concert!! I read a review once that said something like "There are good concerts, there are great concerts and then there are Bruce Springsteen concerts!" If you needed any proof of that then here it is on these 2 stupendous life-affirming DVDs.
There is a sequence of 4 songs here - Youngstown, Murder Inc.,Badlands and Out On The Street - that sum up the amazing power and passion that Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band generate every time I have been lucky enough to see them live in the UK. I defy anyone to watch just that segment of this DVD and tell me that they have seen a more powerful, charismatic, passionate performance by anyone - ever! The thing is, this level of performance goes on for another 2 hours! And these guys are all well into their 50's (with the exception of Patti!).
The band are on fire (Max Weinberg has got to be the greatest rock drummer in the World - how does he generate so much power with such a small drumkit?), Bruce is on fire and the audience are on fire!
If you don't have it already, you have to buy this DVD - I guarantee you it will be the greatest rock and roll show you ever saw - the only way to improve it would be to attend one of the shows in person!!
