Amazon.co.uk Review
There's only one better way than watching Live In New York City 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. 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. Highlights? Almost everything, from timeless anthems such as "Born to Run" and "Thunder Road" to the riveting "American Skin (41 Shots)" and a bluesy, solo "Born in the USA" All together now: Bruuuuuuce! --Sam Graham, Amazon.com

not as good as I thought it would be.......2008-02-28
I'm someone who likes Bruce Springsteen's songs when I hear them on the radio.I'm someone who can play a guitar and likes guitar music.But most of the songs featured in this concert had music and singing that sounded plain loud and so didn't stand out.The best and most welcome version I heard was the unusual take of Born In The Usa where Springsteen plays long and slow on a guitar that sounds like a sitar from the east,as,of course,a direct link to vietnam and the war.I've heard a lot of people rave about this concert saying things like "it's the best concert ever by anyone." Not really. Bruce and the E Street Band gave it their all and gave too much.Lacking in subtlety and overall a little disappointing but
plenty of tracks and interviews on the 2 discs.
A Must Own DVD!.......2007-01-09
I've been a Bruce fan for quite a few years now and this was the first one of his DVDs that I bought. It is unbelievable! While the Boss himself looks a little more tired and older than on the Live In Barcelona DVD, his voice suits the set list perfectly and the show is great. The sound quality is excellent and the renditions of the songs, particularly Mansion on the Hill, Youngstown and Atlantic City are great, breathing new life into the classic acoustic songs. The long version of Tenth Ave. is arguably the highlight of the DVD, with Bruce playing to all the crowd, telling a story to the music and introducing the band members with great titles (The secretary of intelligence, the dean of the university of musical perversity...Professor Roy Bittan on the piano!). Born in the USA is a chilling and superb acoustic rendition and Jungleland has never sounded better. And Light of Day...well just wait and see!!!
A must for Bruce fans and all music fans. Fantastic!

Now some would say that Cold Play are the greatest band in the world. That U2 Have the edge. Or even that Keane write some of the best songs. And you might even find that most younger people havn't heard of him. What I cannot describe to you in words is this concert.But I'll have a go. What you get is a band so in love with what they are doing and a man who is the best live performer, shownman and songwriter in the world. Keep your Queen and your Micheal Jackson. This is truly wonderous. Three hours worth of songs and it still left me thinking of the countless songs that they couldn't fit in. Most new bands wouldn't have three hours of material all together. All of the band are over fifty and can still wipe the floor with any band in the world. To do what they did is unbelievabe. I sat and watched it non-stop and spent the whole time with a huge grin on my face. This is the best concert I have ever seen, or ever will. I've never seen a group of people enyoy themselves so much.
Great show ,excellent sound ........2005-07-01
A must for any rock n roll fan ..for Bruce fans there are awesome versions of Lost in the Flood , Jungleland, Should I Fall Behind and Youngstown and the E Street Band sounds better than ever ..turn it up as loud as it will go !
Power and Passion.......2004-12-20
What a band! What a performer! What a concert!! I read a review once that said something like "There are good concerts, there are great concerts and then there are Bruce Springsteen concerts!" If you needed any proof of that then here it is on these 2 stupendous life-affirming DVDs.
There is a sequence of 4 songs here - Youngstown, Murder Inc.,Badlands and Out On The Street - that sum up the amazing power and passion that Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band generate every time I have been lucky enough to see them live in the UK. I defy anyone to watch just that segment of this DVD and tell me that they have seen a more powerful, charismatic, passionate performance by anyone - ever! The thing is, this level of performance goes on for another 2 hours! And these guys are all well into their 50's (with the exception of Patti!).
The band are on fire (Max Weinberg has got to be the greatest rock drummer in the World - how does he generate so much power with such a small drumkit?), Bruce is on fire and the audience are on fire!
If you don't have it already, you have to buy this DVD - I guarantee you it will be the greatest rock and roll show you ever saw - the only way to improve it would be to attend one of the shows in person!!
