If you missed the show ..........2007-07-03

This is a very good chance to see Bruce with the Sessions Band if you missed the tour. I did, so I am happy they decided to put this DVD together. Overall, this is a very good show, which I am rating 9 over 10 or 4 stars and a half. Besides the songs from the Segger album, I particularly liked some of Bruce's old songs in new versions such as 'Atlantic City', 'Open All Night', 'Further On (Up the Road)', and specially 'Highway Patrolman', which is in my Top 5 Bruce favorite songs and that is presented here in what some have said the definitive version of it. Bruce holds his guitar like Johnny Cash, and his voice is sometimes very tired. One of his back singers takes over sometimes, and I really liked that. The Sessions band is outstanding. All members are terrific musicians and prove to be a true good companion for Bruce. The only one I don't like is Patti, who strums her guitar (I am starting thinking her guitar might be unplugged) and moans instead of singing. I am sorry to be so blunt, but I am already fed up with her and her posing, always keeping an eye 'on the prize' (Bruce) like someone is going to steal him from her. This is music, HIS music, and it looks like she just has to be there, no matter what. After watching this video and being annoyed by her any time she took over, I went back and watch the videos on the Seeger album, and there is one video where the band is out in the garden playing, and there she is .... clapping hands! C'mon please, give me a break! She also appeared in the documentary for the Born to run BoxSet (Wings for Wheels), when she was not even a member of the E Street Band and she had nothing to do with it! I used to like her, but not anymore. She always does the same and it bothers me. Other than that, again, this is a good show and I recommend it to anyone who likes Bruce Springsteen.
P.S. If you like my review vote YES. You can read all my other reviews if you wish to. I modestly write them to help people form an opinion about movies, music and books, but if nobody reads them (if you don't vote I do not know if you did) there is no point in writing them.

Best music from Bruce in years.......2007-07-02

I first saw Bruce and his band at McDonough Arena in Georgetown in the mid-70's. I have a vivid memory of a wonderful night, ending with a raucus version of "Sea Cruise" that blew the doors off. This album brings back all of those great memories - and more. The musicianship is fantastic, the emotions of the whole band really come out. They love their work. It shows.

The band's performance in this instance is especially noteworthy for its masterful jazz harmonies, timbral balance, and rich polyphonic textures.

Time for a change.......2007-07-01

Did you ever see the (admittedly horrible) Bob Dylan movie Masked And Anonymous. There are about a half dozen full length live songs from Bob and his band. The band is backed close together on the stage and 1 (yes, one!!) camera is held rock steady for the whole performance on the whole band. The people who make Bruce's videos could use a little of this. The constant cutting away after a second or two is ridiculous. With the obvious care that Bruce puts into his recordings I really think he is clueless about this. Someone is making these decisions for him and Bruce doesn't understand how much it detracts from his work. Someday he will watch these things with eyes wide open and realize what has been done. Hopefully this will happen before the next dvd release.

Hushed Tones of a Haughiest Church,Wildness of a Brothel.......2007-06-28

"Last year' s Seeger Sessions was cut in just three days with a twelve-piece band that hadn't played together before. This Dublin stop, taped at the tail end of a seven-month tour, finds Bruce and the band going at the same material with a raw gusto that connects American traditions: mountain string bands, whorehouse Dixieland jazz, juke-joint rockabilly, Western swing and E Street soul. Across two CDs drawn from three concerts, Springsteen rips up old folk songs and revises nine slices of his back catalog -At home, the Sessions Band had trouble selling out Asbury Park. Overseas, they were greeted as heroes, and this is the proof of their heroism." ANDY GREENE

While I was watching this DVD, I was so enthralled and excited that I emailed my best friend about the experience. This DVD, in my opnion, is in the Top Five Concert DVD's of all time. The Sessions Band with Bruce Springsteen came together. The excitement and sheer joy of the event is palpable. Bruce Springsteen is a passionate performer who enjoys what he's doing, and he enjoys his audience as well. There was a sense of togetherness and intensity between the Sessions Band and Bruce and Patti Scalfia. The sound is fantastic, the crowd crackles with enthusiasm, and these musicians play without killing the flow.

This DVD was shot at The Point Theatre, in Dublin,Ireland. There were thousands of pumped Irish inside. Out on the stage comes a sixteen piece band armed with fiddles, trumpets, guitars and much more. The leader is one of the greatest performers: Bruce Springsteen. To start the night off they belt out Springsteen's own 'Atlantic City'. They end with a superb rendition of 'American Land'. I love nearly everything about this DVD. I strongly recommend 'Open All Night'. 9 minutes long, full of vocal and instrument solos it is one of the stand out sessio 'O Mary Don't You Weep,' is one of the best songs from Seeger, and it is stunning on this set. 'Pay Me My Money Down' and 'Jacob's Ladder' were highlights. 'Highway Patrolman' always had the markings of a country song. 'Long Time Comin' was superb.There are some powerful moments. The beautiful 'When The Saints Go Marching In,' with its shared lead vocals, goes into the raucous 'This Little Light Of Mine,' and then back to Bruce's own 'American Land.' 'If I Should Fall Behind' sung by Springsteen and Patti Scalfia was mesmorizing and beautiful. The show ends with an emotional and fitting 'We Shall Overcome.'

Mat Brewster: sums up this DVD the best: "It is both holy and profane. It has the hushed tones of the haughtiest church, and the wild secularism of the Saturday night brothel." Yessir, that's exactly right.

This concert was a once in a lifetime event. The stars were all aligned and everything came together. On the DVD just listen to the crowd reaction, the spontaneous singalongs, the sheer joy of the event. All those happy and lucky folks knew what was goin' on.

Heartily, Heartily Recommeded. prisrob 6-28-06

Live in Dublin

We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions

Great Night of American Protest Music.......2007-06-26

Recorded live in Dublin, Bruce Sprinsteen and the Sessions Band present a rousing celebration of American song. This is absolutely the best band Springsteen has played with and finally Columbia has got it right. The concert was filmed over the course of three shows in November 2006 at the Point in Dublin.

The stage had the look of a American Tent Show with the players side lit. The concert was captured on nine cameras in high definition. From the angry version of Atlantic City to a new version of Blinded By the Light the show is pure magic. You won't want to miss this collection of rare moments and great songs from the Seeger Sessions.

Do yourself a favor and buy it.

Die Hard is the movie franchise that made a movie star out of TV star Bruce Willis, and created an entire action-movie genre of its own. In the original 1988 film, Willis plays wisecracking New York cop John McClane, who arrives at the Nakatomi Plaza in Los Angeles to meet up with his estranged wife, Holly (Bonny Bedelia), at her office Christmas party. As luck would have it, the company ends up in the middle of a terrorist plot led by Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) and his gang of expert killers, and with little help coming from outside, McClane has to pick off his enemies one by one. Thus was born the "Die Hard genre ", epitomized by such films as Under Siege ( " Die Hard on a ship "), Passenger 57 ("Die Hard on a plane" ), Speed ( "Die Hard on a bus" ), and Cliffhanger ( "Die Hard on a mountain "). But few measure up to the explosive brilliance of Die Hard. Director John McTiernan develops the action at a fast and furious pace, culminating in some fantastic set-pieces on the top of the building, in the elevator shaft, and in the building's outer plaza. Jeb Stuart and Steven E. de Souza's script, based on Roderick Thorp's novel Nothing Lasts Forever, is smart, funny, and full of memorable lines (among them "Welcome to the party, pal!" and of course "Yippee ki-ay, motherf*****"), and the cast is perfection, especially Rickman as the cunningly evil villain, and Willis, whose McClane character--bloodied, beaten, bruised, and barely breathing, as he battles both bad guys and bureaucrats--is someone audiences could genuinely cheer for.

Directed by Renny Harlin, the 1990 sequel, Die Hard 2 (unofficially referred to as Die Harder), doesn't match the level of the original, but it's still an exciting thrill ride with some terrific action sequences. One year after the Nakatomi incident, McClane (Willis) is awaiting his wife's (Bedelia) plane to arrive at Dulles Airport when he stumbles onto a plot to paralyze the entire airport, including all the planes trying to land. It's up to McClane to take on the cadre of bad guys despite all the bureaucrats standing in his way, and before the planes run out of fuel and crash to the ground. The cast includes William Sadler as rogue military man Col. Stuart, Dennis Franz as the latest bureaucratic cop to get in McClane's way, Richard Thornburg as the annoying reporter from the original movie, John Amos as a special-forces commander, early-in-their-career John Leguizamo and Robert Patrick as terrorists, and future politician and Law and Order actor Fred Thompson as the head of air traffic control.

The third film in the series, Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995), was again directed by John McTiernan and uses a different concept. The villain (played by Jeremy Irons) claims to have planted bombs all over New York City and gives John McClane (Willis), now alchoholic and separated, a series of clues to try to track them down. Along the way, he's aided by, and eventually teams up with, a Harlem shopkeeper named Zeus Carver (Samuel L. Jackson). The interplay between Willis and Jackson is engaging, but better suited to the Lethal Weapon franchise it was previously considered for, and not till the end does the movie return to the familiar McClane-vs.-villains-showdown format.

The 2007 Die Hard Collection is a four-disc set that comes up short when compared to the previous six-disc Ultimate Collection , which is now out of print. That 2001 set had two discs for each film (plus, Die Hard was a Five Star Collection release). This set does away with all of the second discs, though it retains the features that were on the movie-only discs, including director commentaries and the seamlessly branched version of the first film with a scene added back in. There's also a brand-new fourth disc, but it's pretty minor. "Wrong Guy, Wrong Place, Wrong Time" is a 40-minute retrospective of the original movie. Wide-ranging but rather dull, it collects interviews with director John McTiernan, cinematographer Jan De Bont, screenwriters Jeb Stuart and Steven E. De Souza, other crew, and actors Reginald Veljohnson, Hart Bochner, and William Atherton. Also from 2007, "The Continuing Adventures of John McClane" looks at the second and third movies in the series. It's a mere 13 minutes and only interviews the two directors, Renny Harlin and (in new and old footage) John McTiernan. Last, three trailers for the 2007 film, Live Free or Die Hard, make this set look like something that was released merely to have something on the shelves while the new film was in theaters. --David Horiuchi

Yippee-Ki-Yi-Yay.......2007-07-02

I just love the die hard movies and this was a perfect set to get. All of them together plus a bonus disc with interviews and commentary. Not to mention a free ticket to Live Free or Die Hard. I knew I waited to buy them for a reason!! There is nothing like a good action movie where the good guy always comes out on top!

One more movie to add to an already useless film franchise...........2007-07-01

what do Mr. Willis and lots of action sequances equal....Three very bad movies. Here you get to relive it all over again, with a fourth disk that showcases the hopefully last movie they will ever make (Live Free, Die Hard). A movie I already saw because nothing else better was playing and Mr. Willis as always showcases his non-acting talents and bad jokes. And a joke is what these movies are.

What is people's problem?.......2007-06-30

The Die Hard films are the greatest action series ever made. This is a small collection of the trilogy. It does not have all the extras of the six disc ultimate box set that was released a couple years ago, but you get what you are paying for here. For $30 you get the three films. You can look at it as only getting half of the old box set, but you are getting it for half the price as well.

This is a Die Hard set for people like me who don't care about a million extra features and just want to enjoy the movies at an affordable price. Don't get me wrong, it isn't like I dislike extras, but to be honest I only watch them once or twice, so to me it isn't worth the extra cash.

Nice cases, nice collection for those who don't got it!.......2007-06-26

Everyone wants to whine about how much this set lacks, it's a great re-release for people who don't have any of the movies yet and yes it does lack special features and if that's what you care for then yeah don't buy this, but if you just care about the movies straight up then buy the collection, it's a great price and some pretty cool artwork. And honestly, how many people re-watch special features? I know a few do but I mean, c'mon...

live free or buy this again?.......2007-06-24

This is a money grab, absolutly right. Better editions exist and they will release the box set again with the fourth film included a couple of months after it's been available on it's own. Isn't that the formula these days?

When a mail-order apprentice witch (Angela Lansbury) is saddled with three sibling refugees from London during World War II, the outlook is grim. But the kids soon discover her secret and sign on for adventure in the name of England. With the aid of a magical bed, they track down her fraudulent headmaster (David Tomlinson) to find the spell that will aid the Allies. Fascinated that she has actually achieved results with his lessons, he joins forces. The quintet does battle with corrupt booksellers, animated-lion royalty, and, eventually, invading Germans. Songs include Lansbury's Oscar-nominated "The Age of Not Believing." This film is often compared to director Robert Stevenson's earlier effort, Mary Poppins, and for good reason. In addition to Tomlinson, the movies share a fondness for magic at the hands of a good woman, light romance with an understanding male, and wide-eyed children. Stevenson also graces both films with interaction between humans and animated animals. Disney is wise to play up that aspect on its box this time around as both the underwater ball and the subsequent island soccer match are the most visually interesting and appealing parts of the film. Adults may find the 1971-vintage mixing of actors and animation a bit creaky, but kids used to a variety of animation quality will find the action a hoot. Ages 4 and up. The movie has been recut several times but was restored to the original length of 139 minutes for its 30th anniversary in 2001. --Kimberly Heinrichs

I watched this for the first time the other day. It was pure fun. Such a great movie, felt like a wonderful escape from the real world. Funny, enjoyable and so original. I loved it, I can't believe I had never watched it!

A must-see!!!.......2007-04-10

I've always loved this movie...it's so imaginative, and the songs are lovely. I love the character of Eglantine Price, and Angela Landsbury does a wonderful job playing her. Two of the actors from Mary Poppins are also in this movie, playing Eglantine's correspondence school teacher Mr. Brown and one of the children. It's a great, great movie - one that parents will enjoy watching with their children. And the song "Portobello Road" will stick in your head for ages.

Like moths to a flame, great actors gravitate to the singular genius of playwright-screenwriter David Mamet, who updated his Pulitzer Prize-winning play for this all-star screen adaptation. The material is not inherently cinematic, so the movie's greatest asset is Mamet's peerless dialogue and the assembly of a once-in-a-lifetime cast led by Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, and Alec Baldwin (the last in a role Mamet created especially for the film). Often regarded as a critique of the Reagan administration's impact on the American economy, the play and film focus on a competitive group of real estate salesmen who've gone from feast to famine in a market gone cold. When an executive "motivator" (Alec Baldwin) demands a sales contest among the agents in the cramped office, the stakes are critically high: any agent who fails to meet his quota of sales "leads" (i.e., potential buyers) will lose his job. This intense ultimatum is a boon for the office superstar (Pacino), but a once-successful salesman (Lemmon) now finds himself clinging nervously to faded glory. Political and personal rivalries erupt under pressure when the other agents (Alan Arkin, Ed Harris) suspect the office manager (Kevin Spacey) of foul play. This cauldron of anxiety, tension, and sheer desperation provides fertile soil for Mamet's scathingly rich dialogue, which is like rocket fuel for some of the greatest actors of our time. Pacino won an Oscar nomination for his volatile performance, but it's Lemmon who's the standout, doing some of the best work of his distinguished career. Director James Foley shapes Mamet's play into a stylish, intensely focused film that will stand for decades as a testament to its brilliant writer and cast. --Jeff Shannon

"Death of a Salesman" Redux.......2007-06-26

Rare indeed is the chance to see Jack Lemmon, Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey, Jonathan Pryce, Alan Arkin, Alec Baldwin and Al Pacino on stage all at the same time. But here it is. This film of the famous David Mamet play is a painful look at the world of high-pressure sales. You're only as good as your last close, your last deal, your last whatever--such is the harsh message of Mamet's play. Filmed as if the characters are onstage, the action takes place in a day--a rainy depressing evening and the following deceptively sunny morning. Everyone's a victim--the customers, the salesmen, the office manager, even the guy from "downtown." Blinded by need or greed, these men can't escape the endless cycle of boom and bust. The film is true to the play, and although a bit slow moving at times, the performances are stunning. It's amazing to see the defeated Jack Lemmon pick up the phone and immediately morph into a smooth talking executive with a guaranteed money-making investment to sell. You'll remember it every time you listen to a sales pitch!

Glengarry review.......2007-06-22

I am a huge Al Pacino fan, but honestly, this film bored me.
I did not enjoy any aspect of it and would not recommend it
to anyone. I am surprised so many others enjoyed it.
This is the only Al Pacino film I did not enjoy.

Sheer genius.......2007-06-17

If you've ever worked in sales then this movie will be instantly recognizable to you. Sales, especially commission-based sales, with all of it's epic highs and crushing lows, are the stuff of dreams. Anyone who's worked in any type of sales will recognize the characters portrayed in this movie; one day you're on a hot streak, master of your universe, and management can't stop telling you how great you are...then before you know it you're in a cold streak where you can't give product away and you stink so bad of failure that no one wants to be around you. It's no wonder that the highest paid people in the world are people who are really good at sales. It's also no wonder that this script drew such an all-star cast of actors; the dialogue is undeniably real because of the mix of desperation and cockiness. Buy it, live it, sell it...and always be closing.

Salesmen acting badly very well...........2007-06-10

Pretty powerful stuff here. Picks apart flaws in middle management, and
demonstrates the frustration rampant in any similar business situation. And
plenty of bad language which helps to underscore how the pressure sends
one into a tailspin almost instantly, with sometimes irretrievable damage
done in the process. A very good viewing experience, and not a job I'd
want to do.

Classic Sales Movie.......2007-06-08

This is one of few great Sales movies. This movie ranks right up there with Wall Street and more recent Boiler Room. This movie employs an entourage of big name actors. This is a must see for any person in the Sales Industry.

Like any good brand, the Rolling Stones know to preserve the formula even when updating the package, and this long-form concert video underscores that market strategy. As with each of their tours since the early '80s, the quartet, augmented by a discreet auxiliary of backup musicians, gives the fans new eye candy while dishing up a familiar set list spiked with Mick Jagger's lip-smacking vocals and Keith Richards's signature guitar riffs. The visual twists are at once spectacular and conservative: a cyclopean main stage design with massive pillars (presumably the Babylonian connection), a vast oval video screen (shades of Big Brother), and a hydraulic bridge enabling a midconcert sortie into the audience, with the Stones playing a more stripped-down, intimate set on a small satellite stage.

That huge physical setting doubtless made the live shows eye-filling rock spectacles, but the video crew necessarily accepts the limitations of the small screen, focusing more on close-ups of the band, rapid cuts, and racing, hand-held tracking shots to convey excitement while keeping the viewer close to the action. The evening's repertoire sticks to the band's most familiar hits, and if the Glimmer Twins occasionally slip their masks to let the routine show, the real wonder is how effectively they keep the playing focused. During the first half of the program, the band's newest songs (especially "Saint of Me" and "Out of Control") elicit conspicuously higher energy from the band, if not the audience. But just as the show seems doomed to a certain anomie, the escape onto the smaller, no-frills stage pumps up players and crowd alike, particularly when they launch into "Like a Rolling Stone," a cover that winds up sounding like a great idea too long deferred. --Sam Sutherland

Customer Reviews:

Superior Concert Video.......2006-10-31

This is by far the best concert video I own. The Stones were on top of their game at this St. Louis concert, soulful, bluesy, and rocking. The cameras stay on the band the whole time, unlike many current concert videos that seem to think the viewer wants to watch the audience. The sound is CD quality, the picture and color is vivid, the editing is tight. The highlight for me is Keith Richards' "I Wanna Hold You" and some incredible versions of many classics. The songs from the Bridges to Babylon album are excellent and it is funny how quickly some of them faded from the permanent repertoire. The fact of the matter is the Stones have enough excellent songs to do ten different concerts.

I highly recommend this DVD. It is superior to the Four Flicks, and a lot less expensive. Five Stars.

If you must buy one Rolling Stones DVD concert...you must choose this one; no doubts about that. Great artists performance and just hits on this. I'm a new Rolling Stones fan just because this DVD. Great value!

Loved It!.......2006-02-25

Here you'll find Mick, Keith and the boys together with some "cool friends" doing what they do best. ROCK & ROLL!

They have the lovely & talented Lisa Fischer on backup vocals. She really used her "assets talents," all of them. Her voice hits all of those amazing notes that few singers will ever hope aproach.

The "really cool" Joshua Redmond joins in with his saxophone.

Lets not forget the inovative theatrics that we've come to expect from the Stones. The never disapoint me in that area. In this film they do actually cross "a bridge" to Babylon.

If you love the Stones and you love seeing them live or wish you could, this is a great way to see them!

All right, I admit it. I am a huge fan, (can't fool you) since the begining. I've spent more than I'll admit this year on concert Tickets, T-Shirts and DVD/CDs. Not to mention plane tickets!

ok but not the best.......2006-02-24

this dvd is stones but not up to their best. any stones are great so since this is fairly inexpensive i might recommend it

Captures high energy and party atmosphere........2006-01-01

This solid show has some great moments. The 10 minute Miss You version here is the best available, with the whole band acting like they never want it to end. Lisa Fischer, the awesome support singer, is in rare form as she and Mick bump and grind all over the stage. She gets in everybody's business on this one. Surprisingly, Miss You doesn't appear on Four Flicks. Neither does Its Only Rock and Roll, which is a highlight from the B-stage here. Also is a terrific Wild Horses duet with Dave Matthews and Dylan's Like a Rolling Stone-performed better here than on Stripped. Another highlight is Keith's I wanna Hold You, from Undercover. The sound is a slight step down from Four Flicks, but certainly great for when it was released. At the end we get a blazing Juming Jack Flash with Mick sporting cool shades and Keith and Ronnie weaving in and out like they're trying to outdo themselves. Lots of Fun!

Few early rockers were more gifted or less honored in their prime than the late Roy Orbison, whose vaulting tenor and vulnerable love songs conjured heartbreak and desire with operatic intensity. This 1987 concert special, originally broadcast on Showtime, came two decades after Orbison had retreated from pop's front lines, yet neither Orbison nor his music coasts on mere nostalgia: in every respect, A Black and White Night survives as a triumphant performance and a superb video production, as well as a first-rate retrospective of Orbison's hits.

Filmed in black and white against the streamlined art deco stage of the since-demolished Coconut Grove in downtown Los Angeles, the concert is buoyed by a remarkable cast of A-list Orbison fans who signed on as his accompanists. Under the direction of producer T-Bone Burnett, the stage band thus includes Jackson Browne, Burnett, Elvis Costello, k.d. lang, Bonnie Raitt, J.D. Souther, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits, and Jennifer Warnes, along with the rhythm section from Elvis Presley's fabled late '60s and early '70s touring band. That astonishing lineup is all the more noteworthy for the restraint with which they collaborate--it's evident that those superstars came to honor Orbison, not upstage him, resulting in a gratifying cohesion to the performances.

Orbison himself sounds as powerful as ever, his soaring falsetto cresting as dramatically as it did on the studio versions of the hits that inevitably dominate. Those songs meanwhile confirm that his blue chip admiration society came as much for the caliber of his writing as for his ravishing voice: if he remains best known for the jaunty come-on of "Pretty Woman," Orbison was first and foremost a rock balladeer, capable of bringing lumps to our throats with such classics as "Crying" and "Only the Lonely," or conjuring romantic trances through such gentle charmers as "Dream Baby." On this night, he handled all of them with fervor and finesse. --Sam Sutherland

Customer Reviews:

A DVD For Everyone.......2007-06-28

This DVD with Roy Orbison is for all music lovers, not just for his fans. It's interesting to learn how he has contributed to the music world, and how his songs have been used and reproduced by many of our leading musical artists. He influenced all genres of modern music, including Elvis Presley, the Beatles, and many others. When you watch this DVD, you will understand why.

Key performance.......2007-05-30

Filmed all in black and white, this is a non-commented recording of the performance only. Roy plays the usual songs and is backed-up by a star-studded cast of Roy's fans. Too bad that Bruce Springsteen keeps trying to take the limelight. Wikipedia has an excellent write-up.

One of a kind.......2007-05-24

It's a one of a kind show. Great performers, impromtu performance by great musicians & Roy is the best.

Out of Orbit.......2007-05-13

All I know is I just love this DVD. Packed with all Orbison's great hits with the dynamics of the rest of the Black & White night "gang". Five stars for me...

Description

Bruce Springsteen With The Sessions Band Live in Dublin' features 23 songs drawn from the band's performances in Dublin, Ireland at The Point on November 17, 18 and 19, 2006. Songs include fan favorites from 'The Seeger Sessions,' radical interpretations from the Springsteen songbook and rare songs appearing for the first time on any Springsteen release. This Blu-ray Disc captures the band during the finale of its multi-leg 2006 tour.

Springsteen's longtime manager Jon Landau said, "'Live in Dublin' charts the development of a band from an informal gathering in Bruce's living room to an onstage powerhouse. It also documents the growth in Bruce's vision of American music; it includes folk music, blues, Dixieland, country, swing, gospel, rock, down to and including his own writing. It's all performed with Bruce's classic energy and focus. I think it's some of the finest music he's ever made."

The Blu-ray Disc captures the band during the finale of its multi-leg 2006 tour. The Word Magazine (UK) said of a concert on this tour, "I have never, make that NEVER, seen a show better than the one mounted by Bruce Springsteen and his band at Wembley Arena on Saturday, November 11, 2006." The Sunday Business Post Agenda (UK), in a 5 star review, said, "During the concert's numerous high points, the crowd was ecstatic and Springsteen was the preacher, spreading a welcome message: We're open all night."

Bruce Springsteen with The Sessions Band's tour last year prompted other incredible reviews. "Sometime, somewhere, a more dramatic and exhilarating confluence of music with moment may have existed... But in nearly 40 years of concert-going, I haven't witnessed one," said LA Times. The Washington Post declared, "It was the best live show I've seen in at least five years. (And I've seen a few.)" Meanwhile, The Independent (UK), said, "It's been an astonishingly rich evening." The Observer (UK) proclaimed, "Springsteen and the Seeger Session band were an inspiring triumph.

Documented with nine cameras, the concert was filmed in High Definition (HD).

If this was really filmed in HD as label states I must need new glasses. Just to watch this "1080 Disc' that's unclear, quite grainy and undefinded.
The Music get's 5 stars but the film and or transfer is not of the usual grade for HD.

Sorry but to keep it real the standard DVD upscaled on a PS-3 would look this good without the Blu-Ray package.

the best music ever played!!.......2007-06-04

I live in Germany. The Blu-ray disc has been delayed here but I watched the DVD three times already. It is the best concert release ever and the finest music ever performed. I am a big Springsteen fan and I loved the Seeger Sessions tour (have been to 6 concerts) but even my friends who are totally not into Springsteen got goosebumps and agreed that this is the finest music ever played and the DVD offers the best sound quality we ever experienced. Everyone I know is going to buy the DVD and wants to see it over at my place again once I got hold of the blu-ray disc.
The picture though is not as clear as on Barcelona or New York City and it is way too dark. Many songs are cut and the audience's singing is not well integrated in the mix. The audience at these shows sang their hearts out and you can hardly hear it on the DVD. Only on some passages...anyway the greatest performance ever has been captured on disc with phenomenal sound. Everybody who cares about music and is open minded to something totally different, something never heard before is in for a treat!

There's only one better way 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. This two-disc set includes more than three hours of music. Disc One features the 14 songs that were aired by HBO in 2001, while Disc Two adds another 11 tunes released here for the first time. 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 (Dolby Digital 5.1 or PCM stereo). Highlights? Almost everything, from timeless anthems like "Born to Run" and "Thunder Road" to the riveting "American Skin (41 Shots)" and a bluesy, solo "Born in the U.S.A." All together now: Bruuuuuuce! --Sam Graham

Description

The Boss is the Ultimate Boss.......2007-06-11

Everytime I play this DVD, I feel I am in the audience dancing around like a whirligig! What a privilege it would have been to be in the audience. Bruce was at the top of his form, the audience was stoked. What a joy to have this, especially after I taped it off HBO when it was first aired. If you love the Boss and the E Street Band, this DVD is for you. Buy it. It is history!

Don't think -- buy now.......2007-02-21

Fifty years from now, after the Springsteen songbook has been fully mined, some singer/musician will do some research and discover that not only was Bruce Springsteen the most prolific songwriter of the 20th century, but also its most charismatic performer.
Such will be the legacy of Springsteen. He will be acknowledged as the greatest of all American songwriters of the 20th century, bar none.

It is hard to imagine the E Street Band being in finer form than as recorded at these 2000 Madison Square Garden performances.

I consider myself extremely fortunate in that I was unfamiliar with the songs "Youngstown" and "Land of Hope and Dreams", which are for me the highlights of this set. Quite frankly, there is nothing that is not magnificent on this set. It ranges from the merely phenomenal to the extra-galactic.

"Land of Hope and Dreams" is a song that belongs to the ages.
It strikes me as noteworthy that these performances preceded 9/11, and thus "The Rising".

Bruce is an American icon. He is fundamentally that most precious of things: A Good Man. He is also a patriot who loves his America, the land of hope and dreams.

And then came 9/11. And Bush's war. And Abu Ghraib. And the destruction of America's reputation among it's European allies that is saved from fascism half a century ago.

This concert(s) mark a point in time. A true "end of innocence".

Other highlights:
You have to see the opening sequence of "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out" to believe it.
"If I should Fall Behind"
"American Skin (41 Shots)"

But really, it's all great.
At this point in time, the ESB is nothing short of magnificent. I did not fully appreciate their abilities until seeing this.
The vocal harmonies, so diverse, are beautiful. Nils and Patty -- wow!
Max on drums. He's first rate.
Nils guitar playing? Pat Methany would sit up and take notice of his solo on "Youngstown."

I could go on. Just order the damn thing now. It will become a prized possession, trust me.

Bruce kills em'..........2007-02-18

This concert, shot for HBO, was just a phenominal concert. Great to see Little Steven back with the band, even though his voice makes my head hurt. Amazon got me the video very quickly, the prompt service I've come to expect to Amazon and most of their affiliates. Thanks Amazon, I'm well pleased again!

The BEST SPIRITUAL and INVIGORATING EXPERIENCE I've ever had!! Better than church any day!.......2006-07-13

I'm probably one of the few species you'll ever encounter: a 36-year-old African American/American Indian who has loved rock and roll and particularly Bruce's from when I was small! I saw this on TV a few years back, and I've been "reborn" all over again from just listening to Bruce, his wife singing in the background, the wonderful and awesome saxophone player (I've never known a saxophone to speak to my heart the way this saxophone player does)! Bruce and the E-street band rocks!! I'm going to get his wife's, Patty Scalfia, CD, as well! It's inspiring to see a female rocker rocking with her husband! In this world of the teen and tween rockers who sing whiny songs, keep showing us all what rock and roll is about, Bruce and the E-Street Band!!

Springsteen in New York.......2006-07-10

This was a decent concert performance by Bruce, however most of the songs I'd not heard before, and it took Bruce about half the CD to get with the program. Suddenly it was like someone reminded him he was being recorded live, and he jumped to it-- getting crowd involvement, and motivating his band to do more than just go through the motions of yet another concert.

The human beings are almost as interesting as the title character in this surprisingly subtle and engaging film about the cross-country adventures of a smart-mouthed parrot. As director John Roberts deploys the footage, the bird becomes a vivid personality; every quizzical twist of his head is oddly expressive. The people who interact with Paulie are a quirky and interesting bunch as well, and the casting is topnotch: Tony Shalhoub (The Siege) as a Russian immigrant janitor, Cheech Marin as an open-hearted mariachi musician, and Gena Rowlands as a widowed painter in a footloose Winnebago--all are vividly eccentric individuals, memorable in their own right. There are some tired swipes at the cold-blooded meanies of Big Science (beady-eyed researcher Bruce Davison has Paulie clapped in irons), but for the most part the film respects the complexity of everyone's motivations, and that's virtually unheard of in today's Hollywood, even in films supposedly designed for grownups. --David Chute

Pauli.......2007-05-18

This is just a delightful and inspring family movie. The actors all support the plot. The lessons are well illustrated. The concern for animals is strong without being dogmatic. Just a great 2 hours of enjoyment.

A movie I could send to my granddaughter!.......2007-05-17

Funny, intelligent, warm and touching - and a movie that wouldn't embarrass me if I were watching it with my 12 year old granddaughter. I'm mailing it to her immediately (she lives out-of-town). I really enjoyed this movie and I would recommend it to anyone, any age. It has something for everyone in it.

I wish Hollywood would come out with more movies like this one. The actors are great and natural. The birds and animals in this movie are amazing.

A great family movie!.......2007-05-14

"Paulie" is a sweet movie and perfert for a family video night! The parrot tells such a wonderful story of love, loss, trust - and the breaking thereof - that there are many 'moral of the story' moments! Gena Rowlands is wonderful in showing that no matter the age, or circumstance, we all have adventure within us! It may be hidden under fear and friends (in this case, Paulie) can help us 'stretch our wings'. The man who stars in this, currently seen on the t.v. show "Monk", did a wonderful job in his intent listening and resolve to help this bird - his friend. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who wants to spend an evening just 'kicking back' and enjoying a good story.

Paulie.......2007-04-23

I am a parrot owner, and loved the movie. Even non-bird fanatics will enjoy this family movie. It's captivating, touching, and children and adults can equally relate to having learning difficulties while growing up, having a pet as your best friend, to losing loved ones and romantic relationships that didn't happen as we had hoped. Throughout all of Paulie's adventures with the different characters in the movie, you're always rooting for Paulie and that he'll find his "Marie", and the ending leaves you with a "feel good" feeling. I highly recommend this to anyone, and especially bird lovers. It made me look at my parrot(whose been with me for 28 years) with a renewed sense of wonder and respect for her intelligence and wondering what's she's thinking even though she doesn't talk like Paulie!

From the first cock-a-doodle-doo to the last twinkling little star, A Day at Old MacDonald's Farm pulses joyfully with song, dance, and a barnyard full of activity. A passel of city kids arrives for a taste of sunny country life. Before night falls, they make a scrumptious breakfast, do chores around the mulberry bush, attend school with Mary's little lamb, and whoop it up at the old ball game. Their field-trip hosts include a high-stepping scarecrow, Gran and Gramps McDonald, and the usual four-legged farmy suspects. Together, this energetic cast belts out 10 perennial favorites, including "Skip to My Lou," "This Old Man," and, of course, the title song. A funky rock & roll score keeps the excitement building as one song piggybacks on the next. This delightful 30-minute show, produced in 1985, easily should appeal to little music lovers ages 7 and under. --Liane Thomas

MY daughter loves the songs in it. She is 2+ and after an active day she gets to relax watching it. I recommend this to kids who love music.

Its pretty good for something from 20 years ago, however, I was worried my toddler would get A.D.D. watching it because the scenes are constantly changing and erratic. My toddler enjoys "Toddler Tunes" and "Silly Songs" by cedarmontkids much more.

Old Fashioned, But Good.......2005-12-12

Yes, this is the one I remember. As a child, I loved this video, but my 2-year-old...not so much. Maybe he'll grow into it. I think the pace of it is just too slow for him right now. It would be great if Kidsongs would reproduce some of these classic sing-alongs with an up-to-date style.
