BUY THIS CONCERT HERE!
When Bruce
Springsteen agreed to reunite with the E Street band for the
first time in many years to record additional songs for the
Greatest Hits collection, director Ernie Fritz captured it for
posterity and released a 90 minute documentary called Blood
Brothers: Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band. Behind The
Blood Brothers, this new 2DVD release on the Blood Brothers
label (produced by the TMR people) collects all of the outtakes
surrounding the band's filming of the "Murder Incorporated"
video at Tramps and also included the complete set at Sony
Studios taped for "Late Night With David Letterman". The quality
of the sound and video is outstanding. Fritz show the
documentary in a slightly grainy look and this is the same here.
The sound is in excellent stereo. There are some parts during
the concert footage at Tramps where the sound speeds up sounding
like someone hit the fast forward button on the tape deck. They
don't last too long but is there.
The quality of the Sony Studio show is excellent all around. The
label claims it from the master and could well be. It is
interesting to watch the band as they work out the song, talk
backstage with John Landau and Johnathan Demme, and generally
goof around in high spirits. At some points the camera crew
become too intrusive like when they walk in while Bruce is
changing for the set. There is an abrupt edit and we're back
again with him fully clothed. We can eavesdrop on a conversation
about the length of the set and Demme addressing the invited
audience, asking them to be patient since they'll play "Murder
Incorporated" several times. Several shots reveal just how full
the stage is with the band an several cameramen cluttering up
the view. The part I found very enjoyable is the Sony Studio
footage. The audio has been released as Sony Studios, April 5th,
1995 on E.ST. Records (ES-27/28) and in upgraded quality as Sony
Studios on Crystal Cat (CC 431/432). This looks like it's from
the master reels and is complete. "Streets Of Philadelphia" is
very moving and is one of the highlights. This release is being
touted as the first important title for 2006. I'm sure that
Bruce Springsteen fans will really enjoy this and make this
essential. (GS) |
