BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
- Complete Video Anthology 1978-2000

The stiff-limbed gravel voiced Bruce has always been the working class denim rocker, the down to earth New Jersey guy. This man's-man-rock & roller was always a baseball & beer guy with a social conscience, creating American and industrial town moods. His stories and moments are vivid in his songs. There is nostalgia, social issues and the inevitable moments of love won & lost. All of his videos are here on 2 discs. Many of them are live versions, the way most Bruce fans love him. Old Max Wineberg is on drums most of the time with the rest of the E-Street Band. Here are over thirty tracks with special versions of songs like the Jay Leno- and Charlie Rose appearances. The DVD covers his career highlights from Rosalita, The River, Atlantic City, Dancing In The Dark (with pre-Friends star Courtney Cox), I'm On Fire, Glory Days, Fire, Born To Run (+ an acoustic version), Born In The USA (+ a Charlie Rose show acoustic) and Tunnel Of Love to Human Touch, 57 Channels (And Nothin' On), Leap Of Faith, his cover of War, his Oscar winning soundtrack tunes like Streets Of Philadelphia and Dead Man Walkin' plus Murder Inc., Hungry Heart, The Ghost Of Tom Joad (+ Jay Leno show appearance) and Highway Patrolman. A version of Secret Garden with strings is added. Around 2 ¾ hours of music. Be prepared for some great 80s styles on display, like rolled up short sleeves and rhythm- & style-free dancing. The man is a legend, though and some of his songs are truly great. A wonderful collection.
