Back To Index Bruce Springsteen: The Complete Video Anthology: 1978-2000
 Barnes & Noble Bruce Springsteen -- Asbury Park, New Jerseys most energetic export and Americas brawniest contribution to rock n roll -- finally receives his DVD due on this exhaustive double-disc Anthology. If you didnt get a chance to see the Boss and the legendary E Street Band on their millennial tour, this might have to suffice; it testifies to Springsteen and the bands durability as both video performers and as a fiery live act. Disc 1 launches with the primal, jet-propelled "Rosalita," as ladies literally float toward an onstage Springsteen. Its a sight that crystallizes the multipurpose Springsteen mythology, a charismatic manifest that many feature film directors have sought to capture in music video form. Brian De Palma (The Untouchables) in the well-known "Dancing in the Dark" clip catches the mans evangelical populism as he pulls pre-Friends Courtney Cox up from the crowd; John Sayles (Matewan) favors Springsteen as blue-jeaned, working-class everyman in the "Born in the U.S.A." and "Im on Fire" videos; and Jonathan Demme (Silence of the Lambs) lenses the Bosss dark sense of injustice in the somber "Streets of Philadelphia." A vast improvement on the earlier, VHS Complete Video Anthology, which appeared in 1988, this DVD also brims with unreleased stuff. The highlight is Disc 2s penultimate track, a solo breakdown of "Born in U.S.A." from The Charlie Rose Show, the sheer nakedness of which drives home the lyrics potency and bitterness. This dip into the Springsteen universe shows exactly why he endures. Chas Turner Interested in the song lyrics? - Check out themostlyrics.com! Looking For A DVD? - Check out dvd-a-rama.com! |
