 Springsteen
Takes London
Accustomed to playing arenas and stadiums filled with devoted fans,
Bruce was not certain what kind of a reception to expect when
playing for 100,000+ fans that did not necessarily buy tickets to see the
E Street Band. The Working On A Dream
tour gave him the chance to find out. Rising to the challenge,
Bruce and the band delivered tour-de-force sets at Bonnaroo
and Glastonbury. The Hard Rock Calling
concert in London's Hyde Park proved to be one of the defining concerts of
the two year tour. The set started in bright daylight and ended well after
dark, and well after even those who questioned whether the band belonged in
the lineup were glad they were. For most, it was a done deal from the
opening barrage of set opener London Calling, the
Clash anthem. The
Hard Rock Calling performance yielded riveting versions of
songs included in most set lists during the tour and great takes on some
rare gems, including Good Lovin' from the
Rascals. This DVD does an outstanding job of conveying the energy
and emotion of the marathon set the E Street Band delivered in London that
day. It also adds the version of The River
done at Glastonbury and Wrecking Ball,
the tribute to Giants Stadium recorded at the Meadowlands venue a few months
before it was demolished.
