Springsteen & I (2013)

Springsteen u0026 I: Directed by Baillie Walsh. With Bruce Springsteen, Mitchell A.S. Hallock, Dyan McBride, Matt Sullivan. For 40 years Bruce Springsteen has influenced fans from all over. His songs defined more than a generation. This film gives the fans just as much time as The Boss himself, with never shown footage and live performances from his last tour.

“Wow! I havenu0026#39;t had this good a time at the movies for some time. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eUsually when I post reviews I mull things over for quite a while but I wanted to put my two cents in while this is ultra fresh. What a great tribute to The Boss. The people who live, breathe and identify with Springsteenu0026#39;s music get the spotlight and showcase in the best possible way why we, the fans, like the man so much. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe stories they tell range from funny to really touching to downright hilarious on occasion. The way Springsteen connects with his audience is really special and itu0026#39;s displayed through some well chosen clips from relatively recent shows. The rare footage from live shows from way back-when is also a real treat for the die-hard fans. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI identified with a lot of the people and most likely every viewer will find something they related to as well. Iu0026#39;m a Springsteen nut so, to me, this was a perfect night at the movies. 10 out of 10. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs an added bonus there was a six song show/compilation from the Hyde Park concert last year (knockout performances of u0026quot;Shackled and Drawnu0026quot; and u0026quot;We are Aliveu0026quot;) that concluded with the Beatles songs u0026quot;I Saw Her Standing Thereu0026quot; and u0026quot;Twist and Shoutu0026quot; with Paul McCartney. Seeing it in a theater with the sound yanked up way high is the next best thing to actually being at a Springsteen concert. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd that u0026quot;Epilogueu0026quot; was fun too. Seeing those fans meet the man and how gracious Springsteen seems to be; well it was a great ending to a fantastic film and show. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf anyone has ever wondered what the big deal with Springsteen is…well; u0026quot;Springsteen and Iu0026quot; is the response I would give.”
